My Lord & Master

My Lord and Master
Declares that he's pleased with me
What does he mean?
What does he know of me?
This lord and Master
When he has looked at me?
What has he seen?
Something young
Soft and slim
Painted cheek
Tap'ring limb
Smiling lips
All for him
Eyes that shine
Just for him
So he thinks
Just for him
Though the man may be
My Lord and Master
Though he may study me
As hard as he can
The smile beneath my smile
He'll never see
He'll never know
I love another man
He'll never know
I love another man
