There is no such man

He does not exist

No matter how hard you insist

There is no old gentleman to see

All this time

Daddy has been me

I am just a fool

An imposter and a fake

Like the lady of the lake

I'm drowning in the waves

Of my deceit

But rescued by your face

Each time we meet

If I tell you the truth at last

Would I lose your esteemed affection

Would you hate me and curse my name

I only have myself to blame

So

Why upset you now

When we could still be friends

As the truth just slightly bends

I'm happy in my mad hypocrisy

Pretending I'm the man

I'll never be
