Beautymark lyrics
by 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,

I do have your taste,

But 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.
