Say I have known some Less than I should Say I have known some Too well for my own good Say I´m a saint of mercy Say I´m a whore I´ve been a lot of things But never yours I wear my mama´s dress Her finest clothes Daddy showed me outside To meet you on the front porch I laugh at all your jokes But you look bored I´ve been a lot of things but never yours You never cross my mind You can be sure You´ll never catch my eye Waiting for you watching the door I let you hold me Dry lip kiss me on the dance hall floor I´ve been a lot of things But never yours Never yours Never yours Never yours Never yours Never yours Never yours Never yours Never yours So you say you won It was a bet A game of pool or cards I repay my family´s debt I let you lie beside me With no remorse I´ve been a lot of things But never yours Say I have known some Less than I should Say I have known some Too well for my own good Say I´m a saint of mercy Say I´m a whore I´ve been a lot of things But never yours
