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 |
