Lyrics When Love Is in the Air - Randy Newman

When Love Is in the Air

of South Bend peasants: When love is in the air
It may strike swiftly
Like a bolt out of the blue
One never knows whom it might fall on
Maybe me, maybe you
Maybe me, maybe you …
Faust: I love you
Those words sound strange in my ear
I’ve never said them before to anyone
I love you
Now I know I’ll always love you
That must sound crazy to you
But girl, I love you
If you knew how lonely I have been
How cold and how lonely my life has been
I need the warm touch
Of someone who loves me like I love you
I love you and I don’t know your name
Margaret (speaking): It’s Margaret.
Faust: Margaret, do you love me?
Margaret: No
Faust: What was that?
Margaret: No
Faust: What was that you just said?
Margaret: No, I don’t love you
I don’t know you
I don’t love you
Faust: You little bitch
You whore
The first person I ever love and they don’t love me?
Unbelievable!
Forgive me, I didn’t know what I was saying
South Bend Forgive him
from above: Forgive him
Margaret: I forgive you
South Bend When love is in the air
It may strike swiftly
Like a bolt out of the blue
One never knows whom it might fall on
Maybe me, maybe me maybe you, maybe you
Maybe you
