The Countess and the Common Man

Ever since that first day I saw you

at court, I knew I was beneath you.

You were right, darling. You were.

I noticed you across a room-

The most exquisite rose.

The tiniest tiara and

That haughty little nose.

I flirted with you shamelessly.

Or so the scandal goes...

The Countess

And the common man.

We tiptoed off to Peterhof

To have a royal fling.

My husband was oblivious;

Count's never know a thing!

And all of it was perfect...

'Til you stole my diamond ring!

The countess

And the common man.

Cologne in the bedclothes,

The pastry and wine.

And under the table

Your foot touching mine.

And how my heart beat

When you sent me "our sign."

I loved you...

You loved me

And oh, it was simply

Divine.

Who would have known.

My little rose,

We're back where we began.

And I suppose

That you'll propose

Another sneaky plan!

Which I'll resist...

Until you're kissed...

For nothing's better than...

The countess

And the common man

The countess

And the common man.
