"Without Me" lyrics

[Pietro:]
You were just a virgin when I met you
Aching for adventure and romance
Sheltered as you were
Like a kitten you did purr
Once you caught my eye and beckoned me to dance

[Azzurra:]
au contraire, carissimo

You were just a horny handsome player
Unbeknownst to me you had a plan
Find a fam'ly with a name
Marry up then stake your claim
Feigning all the while to be a man

Without me you have no status
I'm your banking apparatus
Without me you'd vanish into thin air

[Pietro:]
Without me, my little flower
You've no husband, you've no power

[Azzurra & Pietro:]
Without me you've not a chance
Prospects for advance
Without me you're simply going nowhere

[Azzurra:]
Pietro, you have been a dreadful husband
You've been lying to me ever since day one
Every passionate display
Was a ruse, a sad cliché
Yet I've been a faithful wife, a saint, a nun

[Pietro:]
Ha!
A nun you say, Azzurra, don't be ridiculous
Don't forget that little poodle pet you prize
Why that gelding is a toy
That you hope will bring you joy
Oh it's more than just his voice you patronize

[Azzurra & Pietro:]
Without me you're devastated

[Azzurra:]
You'll be ruined

[Pietro:]
Annihilated

[Azzurra & Pietro:]
You can rot in hell for all that I care

[Azzurra:]
Without me you've no connections

[Pietro:]
You've no status

[Azzurra:]
No erections

[Azzurra & Pietro:]
Without me you'd be destroyed

[Pietro:]
You'd be crippled

[Azzurra:]
Overjoyed

[Azzurra & Pietro:]
Without me you're simply going nowhere

[Pietro:]
Without me

[Azzurra:]
Without me

[Azzurra & Pietro:]
Without me you're simply going nowhere
