Do you need his beast for the bone?
Why don't you try to forget him?
I know that you can make it, make it on your own
Do you want to be the ditch around a tower?
So let nobody put a loophole, a loophole in their way
Do you want to give your blessing to his power
Do you need his labor for your baby?
I'd like to take you to the ceremony
Why don't you try to do without him?
Songwriter: Leonard Cohen
You know this life is filled with many sweet companions
You can see that they're willing to obey
Do you need to hold a leash to be a lady?
That is if I remember the way
As he goes whistling past his daddy, past his daddy's grave?
I'm afraid it's time for everyone to pray
Do you really need his heart for your throne?
You can see they've finally taken cover
Do you want to be the moonlight in his cave?
Many satisfying one-night stands
Their vows are difficult, they're for each other
You see Jack and Jill, they're going to join their misery
Why don't you try to live alone?
Why just open up your dainty little hand?
Do you really need his hands for your passion?
