When Love Is In The Air (Demo) Lyrics

Artist : RANDY NEWMAN
Album : Faust

[Night March 17th, Sunday, in South Bend]
[Cupid shoots Faust and the Peasants notice]

[Chorus 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 Chorus:] Forgive him

[Chorus from above:] Forgive him

[Margaret:] I forgive you

[South Bend Chorus:] 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
