Leonard Cohen Lyrics

Album: Death Of A Ladies' Man

Don't Go Home With Your Hard-On Lyrics

I was born in a beauty salon 

 My father was a dresser of hair 

 My mother was a girl you could call on 

 When you called she was always there 

 When you called she was always there 

 When you called she was always there 

 When you called she was always there 

 When you called she was always there 

 

 Ah but don't go home with your hard-on 

 It will only drive you insane 

 You can't shake it (or break it) with your Motown 

 You can't melt it down in the rain 

 

 You can't melt it down in the rain 

 You can't melt it down in the rain 

 You can't melt it down in the rain 

 

 I've looked behind all of the faces 

 That smile you down to you knees 

 And the lips that say, Come on, taste us 

 And when you try to they make you say Please 

 

 When you try to they make you say Please 

 When you try to they make you say Please 

 When you try to they make you say Please 

 When you try to they make you say Please 

 

 Ah but don't go home with your hard-on ... 

 

 Here come's your bride with her veil on 

 Approach her, you wretch, if you dare 

 Approach her, you ape with your tail on 

 Once you have her she'll always be there 

 

 Once you have her she'll always be there 

 Once you have her she'll always be there 

 Once you have her she'll always be there 

 Once you have her she'll always be there 

 

 Ah but don't go home with your hard-on ... 

 

 So I work in that same beauty salon 

 I'm chained to the old masquerade 

 The lipstick, the shadow, the silicone 

 I follow my father's trade 

 

 I follow my father's trade 

 Yes I follow my father's trade 

 Yes I follow my father's trade 

 Yes I follow my father's trade 

 

 Ah but don't go home with your hard-on 

 It will only drive you insane 

 You can't shake it (or break it) with your Motown 

 You can't melt it down in the rain 

 You can't melt it down in the rain 

 You can't melt it down in the rain 

 You can't melt it down in the rain 

 You can't melt it down in the rain 

 You can't melt it down in the rain 

 You can't melt it down in the rain 

 You can't melt it down in the rain 

 You can't melt it down in the rain
