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
