[RADAMES]
I once knew all the answers
I stood on certain ground
A picture of true happiness
A confidence so effortless
No brighter could be found

[MEREB]
Oh no

[RADAMES]
I never asked the questions
That trouble me today
I knew all there was to know
Love worn lightly, put on show
My conquests on display

[MEREB]
I can't believe he's changing

[RADAMES]
And who'd have thought that confidence could die? ([MEREB] Oh no)
Not me, Not me ([MEREB] Not me, not me)
That all I took for granted was a lie ([MEREB] Oh no)
Not me, Not me ([MEREB] Not me, not me)
And who'd have guessed I'd throw my world away
To be with someone I'm afraid will say
Not me, not me? ([MEREB] This can never be)

[MEREB]
He's in love
But he's not the only one
Who'll be changed

[AMNERIS, spoken]
Why hasn't Radames come to see me again?
We're to be married in three days, and yet...
Aida, I must make things right with him

[AIDA]
I shall not envy lovers
But long for what they share

[AMNERIS]
An empty room is merciless
Don't be surprised if I confess
I need some comfort there

[AIDA & AMNERIS]
And who'd have thought a love could be so good?
Not me, not me
And show me things I never understood
Not me, not me
And who'd have guessed he'd throw his world away
To be with someone 'til his dying day?
Not me, not me

[RADAMES, AIDA & AMNERIS]
And who'd have thought a love could be so good? ([MEREB] No good)
Not me, not me ([MEREB] Not me, not me)
My/his secrets and my/his passions understood ([MEREB] No good)
Not me, not me ([MEREB] Not me, not me)
And who'd have guessed I'd/he'd throw my/his world away
To be with someone 'til my/his dying day?
Not me, not me ([MEREB] This can never be)

[RADAMES]
Not me
Oh, not me
