Dave Malloy - Charming lyrics

[HÉLÈNE] Oh, my enchantress Oh, you beautiful thing Charming, charming No, this is really beyond anything These dresses suit you This one, "metallic gauze" Straight from Paris Anything suits you, my charmer Oh, how she blushes, How she blushes, my pretty! Oh how she blushes, How she blushes, my pretty! Charmante, charmante! You are such a lovely thing Oh, where have you been It's such a shame to bury pearls in the country Charmante, charmante, Charming Now if you have a dress, you must wear it out How can you live in Moscow And not go nowhere? So you love somebody, Charming, But that's no reason to shut yourself in Even if you're engaged, You must wear your dress out somewhere My brother dined with me yesterday, But he didn't eat a thing 'Cause he was thinking ‘bout you He kept sighing about you Oh how she blushes, How she blushes, my pretty! Oh how she blushes, How she blushes, my pretty! Charmante, charmante! You are such a lovely thing Oh, where have you been It's such a shame to bury pearls in the country Charmante, charmante, Charming Now a woman with a dress Is a frightening and powerful thing You are not a child When you're draped in scarlet and lace Your fiancé would want you to have fun Rather than be bored to d**h Allez dans le monde Plutôt que de dépérir d'ennui! My brother is quite madly in love He is quite madly in love with you, My dear Oh, oh, how she blushes, How she blushes, my pretty! Oh how she blushes, How she blushes, my pretty! Charmante, charmante! You are such a lovely thing Oh where have you been It's such a shame to bury pearls in the country Charmante, charmante, Charming It's such a shame to bury pearls in the country Charmante, charmante, Charming It's such a shame to bury pearls in the country Charmante, charmante, Charming [NATASHA] What once seemed so terrible Now seems simple and natural She knows that I'm engaged And still she talks so frankly So it must be alright... [HÉLÈNE] There is a ball at my house tonight You must come Oh, your wide-open wondering eyes, You will be the prettiest there How the thought of throwing them together amuses me You must come [NATASHA] I will come
