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.
