Memories Lyrics - Death Of A Ladies' Man - Leonard Cohen

Frankie Lane, he was singing Jezebel 

I pinned an Iron Cross to my lapel 

I walked up to the tallest and the blondest girl 

I said, Look, you don't know me now but very soon you will 

So won't you let me see 

I said "won't you let me see" 

I said "won't you let me see 

Your naked body?" 

Just dance me to the dark side of the gym 

Chances are I'll let you do most anything 

I know you're hungry, I can hear it in your voice 

And there are many parts of me to touch, you have your choice 

Ah but no you cannot see 

She said "no you cannot see" 

She said "no you cannot see 

My naked body" 

So We're dancing close, the band is playing Stardust 

Balloons and paper streamers floating down on us 

She says, You've got a minute left to fall in love 

In solemn moments such as this I have put my trust 

And all my faith to see 

I said all my faith to see 

I said all my faith to see 

Her naked body
