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
