I’m Your Man
(Leonard Cohen)
If you want a lover
I’ll do anything you ask me to
And if you want an other kind of love
I’ll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner, take my hand
And if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I’m your man
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I’ll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver, climb inside
And if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I’m your man
Ah, the moon’s too bright
The chain’s too tight
The beast won’t go to sleep
I’ve been running through
These promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
(Ah, a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees)
So I’ll crawl to you baby
And I fall at your feet
And I’ll howl to your beauty like a dog in heat
And I’ll claw your heart
And I’ll tear your sheet
I’ll say “please”
I’m you man
If you want to sleep a moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want work the street alone
I’ll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I’m your man
