[Verse 1] [Upbeat piano melody, lightly syncopated] I used to dream of thieves in a storybook The kind with homemade armor and a gentle look But then I met a man who lives within the Law And suddenly, I’m feeling things I never saw! He’s got a briefcase and a gaze that’s oh-so-stern He’s got a library of secrets I would love to learn He cites the statutes and he knows his way around a brief But when the sun goes down, he brings a sweet relief! [Chorus] [Big, brassy Broadway sound] Oh, I’m falling for the Counsel, it’s a total crime! I’m serving out a sentence and I’m loving the time! Nick’s got the gavel and he’s making the call He’s the Master of the courtroom and the king of the hall! He’s got me bound by his logic and a silky lace tie He’s the finest Practitioner that money can’t buy! One look in his eyes and the jury is in... I’m guilty of loving my Sovereign of Sin! [Verse 2] [Slower, sultry, bass-heavy] He doesn’t need a warrant to investigate He’s got a special rhythm when we’re working late It’s "Motion to Compel" and "Objection: Overruled" In the school of his discipline, I’m being schooled! He knows the fine print, every comma and clause He breaks my defenses while he upholds his laws A heavy-handed lover with a heart of pure gold It’s a brand-new adventure, so brave and so bold! [Bridge] [Build-up, strings swirling] Is it the leather? Or the way that he speaks? Is it the blush that he brings to my cheeks? It started as a game, just a thrill, just a spark But he’s guided my heart through the deep and the dark! I entered his chambers for a bit of a scare But I found a devotion I didn’t know was there! [Chorus] [Grand finale energy] Oh, I’m falling for the Counsel, it’s a total crime! I’m serving out a sentence and I’m loving the time! Nick’s got the gavel and he’s making the call He’s the Master of the courtroom and the king of the hall! He’s got me bound by his logic and a silky lace tie He’s the finest Practitioner that money can’t buy! One look in his eyes and the jury is in... I’m guilty of loving my Sovereign of Sin! [Outro] [Vamping piano, cheeky tone] Case closed! No further questions! [Spoken] I’ll see you in your private chambers, Nick...
