With news that Carla Bruni is to include, in her new album, her rendition of Bob Dylan's ballad You Belong To Me - including references to her courtship with the French President - we are able to offer a sneak preview of another track on the album: Carla's version of Dylan's All I Really Want to Do:

I ain't looking to compete with you,
I'm cuter and taller, in my Jimmy Choos,
I seep sex from each sinew,
Want to woo me? Join the queue!
But all I really want to do,
Is be your petit chou.

There's things I simply won't accept,
Your dabbling with a cinq-a-sept,
Or getting cops to intercept
My e-mails to men with whom I've slept,
All I really want to do,
Is be your petit chou.

I ain't looking to jog with you,
Or steal your son (as I'm wont to do),
Or stay at home and cook fondue,
Cower in the shadows after my debut,
All I really want to do,
Is be your petit chou.

When with the Queen, I won't pose bare,
Or forget my “equipment” like Cherie Blair,
Or moan if the Duke stares at my pair,
Or reveal that you are no Voltaire,
All I really want to do,
Is be your petit chou.

I won't wince when you curse the poor,
As we sip a glass of Chateau Lâtour,
When CNN calls I'll help you endure,
Questions from Christiane Amanpour,
All I really want to do,
Is be your petit chou.

I'll never remind you I slept with Mick,
Or gloat about my career in flicks,
Or squeal which world leaders get on your wick,
You can count on me, I'll be your brick,
'Cos all I really want to do, Is be your petit chou.

Now I'm the new First Lady of France,
D'you think I got here just by chance?
I understand how to advance,
By putting all men in a trance,
Now all I really want to do,
Is be your petit chou.
