I’m not a knight upon his steed
Prepared to do some gallant deed,
Like lifting you up on my horse
While fighting off an evil force.
I’m not a prince upon a throne
Prepared to go through life alone,
Afraid to even take a chance
At being hurt in some romance.
I’m not the man you long to meet
Who’ll come and sweep you off your feet.
A simple man of honesty
Is all that you will find in me.
