Remington Steele

Try this for a deep, dark secret
The great detective, Remington Steele?
He doesn't exist
I invented him–follow

I always loved excitement
So I studied, apprenticed
And put my name on an office
But absolutely nobody knocked down my door–

A female private investigator seems so, feminine
So I invented a superior
A decidedly masculine superior
Suddenly, there were cases around the block

It was working like a charm until the day
He walked in with his blue eyes and mysterious past
And before I knew it
He assumed Remington Steele's identity

Now I do the work
And he takes the bows
It's a dangerous way to live
But as long as people buy it, I can get the job done

We never mix business with pleasure
Well, almost never
I don't even know his real name
