Beauty Mark - 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 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

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!
