Don't Go Home With Your Hard-On
by Leonard Cohen


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 these 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
    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
Here comes 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
    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
So I work in that same beauty salon
I'm chained to the old masquerade
The lipstick - the shadow - and the silicone
I follow my father's trade
Yes I follow my father's trade
I follow my father's trade
I follow my father's trade
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...
