The Other You
Daddy! Daddy! Come and play!
Meet my new friend, his name is Charlie.
I'm sorry Daddy I must obey,
Please go away cuz you made him angry.

Emily! Emily! Please tell me.
Who the heck is this Charlie?
I don't see anyone, where is he?
Please my daughter reveal him to me.

Daddy! Daddy! In this room, Charlie is here.
He's just sitting right next to me.
He continously say, you should stay away,
Or right in front of you, he'll take my life away.

Oh Emily! Emily! Please don't say this.
I think this Charlie is not too friendly.
So please just tell me where he really is,
This Charlie is too dangerous, to be the friend of my baby.

Daddy! Daddy! I already told you.
He is here with me and you.
Please Daddy, stop making things so difficult.
He'll really kill me, if within his presence you continue to insult.

Emily, I'm not insulting him.
I just want to have an eye to eye contact with him.
So please just tell me, I beg you.
So we'll be happy, him, me and you.

Daddy! Daddy! Do you still not get it?
Daddy and Charlie, are both you.
Daddy comes in morning,
While Charlie shows in evening.

Daddy loves me,
While Charlie likes me.
Daddy's always busy,
While Charlie always have time to play with me.

Daddy now look you really made him very angry.
His hair all up, eyeglasses down and eyes open wide.
He rolls his sleeves up as he holds me beastly.
Slowly he approaches and stands at my bedside.

And at this night Charlie, you came to me,
With a big smile in your mouth and a knife on your right hand.
You plunge at me and happily stab your baby,
Daddy thank you for sending me to my dreamland.
