Patti LuPone - I'm a Stranger Here Myself (Live) Lyrics

Lyrics I'm a Stranger Here Myself (Live) - Patti LuPone



Tell me is love just 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 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 but 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 his now out-moded?
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 foibal?
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 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?
