"I'm Your Man" lyrics

"I'm Your Man"
(originally 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
And if you want a partner
Take my hand
Or 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
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
'Cause 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 could not keep
Ah, but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees

I'd crawl to you, baby
And 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
'Cause I'm your man

And if you've got to sleep a moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to 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
Well, 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 could not keep
Ah, but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees

I'd crawl to you, baby
And I'd fall at your feet
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
'Cause I'm your man

I'm your man
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
'Cause I'm your man
