Barbra Streisand lyrics : "People (From Funny Girl)"

Fanny and Nick steal a private moment
at the party and discover they are both
a little lonely. Fanny sings:


We travel single-oh
Maybe we're lucky, but I don't know--

With them,
Just let one kid fall down
And seven mothers faint.

I guess we're both happy, but maybe--
We ain't.
People--people who need people

Are the luckiest people in the world,
We're children, needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride

Hide all the need inside,
Acting more like children
Than children.


Lovers are very special people,
They're the luckiest people

In the world.
With one person, one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul

Says you were half,
Now you're whole.
No more hunger and thirst

But first be a person
Who needs people.
People who need people

Are the luckiest people
In the world!


Nick has to leave the party early because
he's going to Kentucky the next day but
promises to call Fanny when he returns

to New York.
