My Lord and Master - Richard Rodgers, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Oscar Hammerstein II

He is pleased with me!

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.
