Rufus Wainwright Beauty Mark song lyrics

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 have no radio show nor did I have homemade clothes

Homemade 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 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

Beauty mark
