One Touch of Venus: I'm a Stranger Here Myself |
| Tell me, is love still a popular suggestion |
| Or merely an obsolete art? |
| Forgive me for asking a simple question |
| I’m unfamiliar with his heart |
| I’m a stranger here myself |
| Why is it wrong to murmur I adore him |
| When it’s shamefully obvious I do? |
| Does love embarrass him or does it bore him? |
| I’m only waiting for my cue |
| 'Cause I’m a stranger here myself |
| I dream of a day, of a gay warm day |
| With my face between his hands |
| Have I missed the path? |
| Have I gone astray? |
| I ask, and no one understands |
| Love me or leave me, that seems to be the question |
| I don’t know the tactics to use |
| But if he offers a personal suggestion |
| How could I possibly refuse |
| When I’m a stranger here myself? |
| Please tell me, tell a stranger |
| By curiosity goaded |
| Is there really any danger |
| That love is now outmoded? |
| I’m interested especially |
| In knowing why you waste it |
| True romance is so fleshly |
| With what have you replaced it? |
| What is your latest foible? |
| Is gin rummy more exquisite? |
| Is skiing more enjoyable? |
| For Heaven’s sake, what is it? |
| I can’t believe that love has lost its glamor |
| That passion is really passé |
| If gender is just a word in grammar |
| How can I ever find my way |
| When I’m a stranger here myself? |
| How can he ignore my available condition? |
| Why these Victorian views? |
| You see here before you a woman with a mission |
| I must discover the key to his ignition |
| And if he should make a dramatic proposition |
| How could I possibly refuse? |
| How could I possibly refuse |
| When I’m a stranger here myself? |
