S  ay I h  ave known some l  ess than I s  hould
S  ay I h  ave known some too w  ell for my o  wn good
S  ay I'm a s  aint of mercy s  ay I'm a w  hore
I  've been a l  ot of things b  ut never y  ours
 
 
I   wear my m  ama's dress h  er finest c  lothes
D  addy showed me o  utside to meet you o  n the front p  orch
I   laugh at a  ll your jokes but y  ou look b  ored
I  've been a l  ot of things b  ut never y  ours
 
 
Y  ou never c  ross my mind y  ou can be s  ure
Y  ou'll never c  atch my eye w  aiting for you w  atching the door
I   let you ho  ld me dry lip k  iss me on the d  ance hall floor
I  've been a l  ot of things b  ut never y  ours
 
 
N  ever yours never yours
  Never yours n  ever yours  
N  ever yours never yours
  Never yours n  ever yours  
 
 
S  o you s  ay you won i  t was a b  et
A   game of p  ool or cards I   repay my f  amily's debt
I   let you l  ie beside me w  ith no rem  orse
I  've been a l  ot of things b  ut never y  ours
 
 
S  ay I h  ave known some l  ess than I s  hould
S  ay I h  ave known some t  oo well for my o  wn good
S  ay I'm a s  aint of mercy s  ay I'm a w  hore
I  've been a l  ot of things b  ut never y  ours
