I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)
I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)

I see your eyes a' wandering,
Wishing and a' wanting,
But I am not for conquering,
A husband I will win

You can send me trinkets,
Beg me for my kisses,
But I will be no mistress,
To no man or king

I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)
I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)

You want me for your lover,
To line up with the others,
But you will soon discover
I'm not a summer fling

You can send me trinkets,
Beg me for my kisses,
But I will be no mistress,
To no man or king

I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)
I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)

I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)
I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)

You want me for your lover
I'm not like the others,
And I'll not take your offer
I want a wedding ring!

I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)
I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)

I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)
I will be no mistress
(I will be no mistress)
