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 fears 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, 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 Robeson on "Deep River"
I may not be so manly,
But still I know you love me
Even if I don't have your beauty mark
Beauty mark
