Rufus Wainwright Lyrics - 1998

[ Buy Rufus Wainwright ]

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 taste
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 taste
And i do have your round 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
