Leonard Cohen - Do I Have to Dance All Night lyrics

[Leonard Cohen - Do I Have to Dance All Night lyrics]

I'm forty-one, the moon is full
You make love very well
You touch me like I touch myself
I like you, Mademoiselle
You're so fresh and you're so new
I do enjoy you, Miss
There's nothing I would rather do
Than move around just like this

But do I have to dance all night?
But do I have to dance all night?
Ooh tell me, Bird of Paradise
Do I have to dance all night?

You never really have to tell me what
You really think of me - alright
Let's say I'm doing fine
But do I have to dance all night?

But do I have to dance all night?
But do I have to dance all night?
Ooh tell me, Bird of Paradise
Do I have to dance all night?

I learned this step a while ago
I had to practice it while everybody slept
I waited half my life for you, you know
I didn't even think that you'd accept
And here you are before me in the flesh
Saying: "Yes, yes, yes!"

But do I have to dance all night?
But do I have to dance all night?
Ooh tell me, Bird of Paradise
Do I have to dance all night?

I learned this step a while ago
I had to practice it while everybody slept
I waited half my life for you, you know
I didn't even think that you'd accept
And here you are before me in the flesh
Saying: "Yes, yes, yes!"

But do I have to dance all night?
But do I have to dance all night?
Ooh tell me, Bird of Paradise
Do I have to dance all night?
