Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man

I'm Your Man

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner, take my hand or
If you wanna 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
Or if you wanna take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man

Ah, the moon is 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, but a man who got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees

Or I'd crawl to you baby and I'd fall at your feet
I'd howl at your beauty like a dog in heat
I'd claw at your heart and I'd tear at your sheet
And I'd say, "Please.
I'm your man."

And if you gotta sleep a moment down on the road
I will steal for you
And if you wanna work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
And if you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while across the sand
I'm your man
If you want a lover
I'll do anything that you ask me to
