(Amneris)
It's so strange he doesn't show me
More affection than he needs
Almost formal, too respectful
Never takes romantic leads
There are times when I imagine
I'm not always on his mind
He's not thinking what I'm thinking
Always half a step behind
Always half a step behind
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh

(Rademes)
I'm in every kind of trouble
Can't you tell, just look at me
Half ecstatic, half dejected
All in all I'm all at sea
Easy turms I thought I wanted
Fill me now with chilling dread
You can never know the chaos
Of a life turned on it's head
Of a life turned on it's head
Ohh
(Rademes) (amneres)
Ohh (ohh)
Ohh (ohh)

(Aida)
I am certain that I love him
But a love can be misplaced
Have I compromised my people
In my passon and my haste?
I could be his life companion
Anywhere but where we are
Am I a leader? am I a traiter?
Did I take a step to far?
Did I take a step to far?

(Each verse in a round)
(Amneres)
It's so strange he doesn't show me
More affection than he needs
Almost formal, too respectful
Never takes romantic leads
There are times when I imagine
I'm not always on his mind
He's not thinking what I'm thinking
Always half a step behind
Always half a step behind

(Rademes)
I'm in every kind of trouble
Can't you tell, just look at me
Half ecstatic, half dejected
All in all I'm all at sea
Easy turms I thought I wanted
Fill me now with chilling dread
You can never know the chaos
Of a life turned on it's head
Of a life turned on it's head

(Aida)
I am certain that I love him
But a love can be misplaced
Have I compromised my people
In my passon and my haste?
I can be his life companion
Anywhere but where we are
Am I a leader? am I a traiter?
Did I take a step to far?
Did I take a step to far?

(Aida)
Ohh
(Aida and rademes)
Ohh
(All three)
Ohh
Ohh

Ohh
Ohh
Ohh

Did I take a step to far?
