I never had it, I never wanted it
I never had your beauty mark

Nor did i have your black hair and hazel eyes
My early childhood was not as simple
as yours set in the country
No i did not have a fear of nuns who dressed in black

But i do have your tastes
I had no radio show, nor did i have home-made clothes,
home-made curtains of the same material

I never had it, I never wanted it
I never had your beauty mark

But i do have your tastes
And i do have your red face and long hands
I think Callas sang a lovely "Norma"
You prefer Robson in "Deep River"
i may not be so manly,
but still i know you love me
even if i don't have your beauty mark!
