Текст песни Why Don't You Try - Live - Leonard Cohen

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