The Countess and the Common Man

Ever since that first day I saw you at court

I knew I was beneath you

You are 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 tiptoes off to Peterhof

To have a royal fling

My husband was oblivious

Count’s never know a thing

And all of it was perfect

Till 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 know

My little rose

We are 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
