tell me is love still a popular suggestion
or merely an obsolete art
forgive me for asking this simple question
i'm unfamiliar with his heart
i am 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
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 should offer a personal suggestion
how could i possibly refuse
when i'm a stranger here myself
please tell me tell a stranger my 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 freshly
with what have you replaced it
what is your latest foible is your mommy
more exquisite is skiing
more enjoyable for heaven's sake what is it
i can't believe that love has lost its glamour
that passion is really passing
if gender is just a term in grammar
how can i ever find my way
since 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 then if he should make a diplomatic proposition
how could i possibly refuse
how could i possibly refuse
when i'm a stranger here myself
