I'm Your Man
Day 3
1988 I'm Your Man, Leonard Cohen
on I'm you're man, 1988
The lyrics remind me of Joep, a children's actor and writing teacher. (1990-ish). I met Joep in a theater writing class and fell for him. We had a thing for almost a year in which he even proposed to marry him. My first and only time somebody asked. I said No.
He was very funny, witty and fun to be with. And the intimacy was great. But suddenly there was nothing left, it died between us, dried up. So, I broke up with him. He was 15 years older.
Lyrics:
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 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
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 but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or 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 (Please)
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
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
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
