Dont Go Home With Your Hard-on Lyrics by Leonard Cohen

Dont 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.
