[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 mother's 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 a 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
First be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world

A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
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.]
