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.
