Leonard Cohen - Why Dont You Try текст песни

Why dont you try to do without him?

Why dont you try to live alone?

Do you really need his hands for your passion?

Do you really need his heart for your throne?

Do you need his labour for your baby?

Do you need his beast for the bone?

Do you need to hold a leash to be a lady?

I know youre going to make, make it on your own.

Why dont your try to forget him?

Just open up your dainty little hand.

You know this life is filled with many sweet companions,

Many satisfying one-night stands.

Do you want to be the ditch around a tower?

Do you want to be the moonlight in his cave?

Do you want to give your blessing to his power

As he goes whistling past his daddy, past his daddys grave.

Id like to take you take you to the ceremony,

Well, that is if I remember the way.

You see jack and jill theyre going to join their misery,

Im afraid its time for everyone to pray.

You can see theyve finally taken cover,

Theyre willing, yeah theyre willing to obey.

Their vows are difficult, theyre for each other,

So let nobody put a loophole, a loophole in their way.
