LEONARD COHEN

Lyrics and music:Leonard Cohen

Key:

Why don't you t ry to do without h im?

Why don't you t ry to live alo ne?

Do you really need his h ands for your pass ion?

Do you r eally need his heart for your t hrone?

Do you n eed his labour for your b aby?

Do you n eed his beast for the b one?

Do you n eed to hold a leash to be a l ady?

I k now you're going to m ake it make it o n your ow n.

Why don't your t ry to forg et him?

Just o pen up your dainty little h and.

You know this l ife is filled with many sweet comp anions

many s atisfying one-night s tands.

Do you w ant to be the ditch around a t ower?

Do you w ant to be the moonlight in his ca ve?

Do you w ant to give your blessing to his p ower

as h e goes whistling p ast his d addy p ast his d addy's g rave.

I'd like to t ake you take you to the cerem ony

well that is i f I remember the wa y.

You see Jack and J ill they're going to join their mi sery

I'm afra id it's time for everyone to pr ay.

You can s ee they've finally taken c over

they're w illing yeah they're willing to ob ey.

Their v ows are difficult they're for each o ther

so let nob ody put a l oophole a lo ophole in their wa y
