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 Robeson 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
