I'm Your Man

Written by Leonard Cohen



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, hold my hand

If you want to strike me down in anger

Here I stand

Baby 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 want to take me for a ride

You know you can

Baby I'm your man



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



But a man never got a woman back

Not by begging on his knees

Or I'd crawl to you baby

I'd fall at your feet

And I'd howl at your beauty

Like a dog in heat

And I'd claw at your heart

And I'd tear at your sheet

I'd say please

I'm your man



And if you gotta sleep a moment on the road

I will steer for you

And if yo want to 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

Baby I'm your man

I'm your man



If you want a lover, I'm your man

If you want a boxer, I'm your man

If you want a doctor, I'm your man
