I'm Your Man
Last night I was lying in bed, deep in the throes of a delicious fantasy, when the phone rang. I answered, trying not to let my voice reflect what I'd been doing. Apparently I didn't mask things too well because my friend inquired. After I confessed he began singing this song to me in a very deep, Leonard Cohen sort of voice. Mmm.. nice surprise. Nice friend ;) He's so cool because we can tease like this and still keep things on the platonic level. I enjoy a man who can understand that a little flirting is just that, flirting - especially when he can reciprocate with the same intent.
Don't you think this is one of the sexiest songs you've ever heard?

Leonard Cohen - "I'm Your Man"
If you want a lover
Ill do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
Ill 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
Im your man
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
Ill 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
Im your man
Ah, the moons too bright
The chains too tight
The beast wont go to sleep
Ive 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 Id crawl to you baby
And Id fall at your feet
And Id howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And Id claw at your heart
And Id tear at your sheet
Id say please, please
Im your man
And if youve got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
Ill disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
Im your man
If you want a lover
Ill do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
Ill wear a mask for you

(When you watch this video you'll have to wait about 1 minute 45 seconds into the video to hear Cohen sing the song.)

I didn't know anyone actually listened to LC. My favorite LC album is "The Future".
All his music is so dark, but that voice is amazing.
Hot song Julia. Tonight I will have my boy naked and on his knees, singing this to me.
Haven't blogged in a long time. Time to start writing again.
Kat's - you're soooo right. He has the most amazing voice. He could sing for me any time ;)
Rose, nice to see you again. It has been awhile. You make me envious as it will be a little while yet before I get to again experience watching Rook crawl naked to me. I like the thought of his singing this while doing it. Uber sexy. Laughs - time for a cool shower.
Damn sexy. I only recently came to know Leonard Cohen in the last few years. I've heard this song before but not been aware of all the lyrics. As to Cohen's lyrics, I've had an offer or two like that before.
Oh, I love it.
In a slightly different way. I love that he makes all those submissive promises and then can't keep them. I don't think my relationship history has ever been summed up so well in song form.
