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
Counts 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
