On the Level
Leonard Cohen
[Verse 1]
I knew that it was wrong
I didn't have a doubt
I was dying to get back home
And you were starting out
I said I best be moving on
You said we have all day
You smiled at me like I was young
It took my breath away

[Pre-Chorus]
Your crazy fragrance all around
Your secrets all in view
My lost, my lost was saying found
My don't was saying do

[Chorus]
Let's keep it on the level
When I walked away from you
I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel, too
They oughta give my heart a medal
For letting go of you (For letting go of you)
When I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel, too

[Verse 2]
Now I'm living in this temple
Where they tell you what to do
I'm old and I've had to settle
On a different point of view
I was fighting with temptation
But I didn't want to win
A man like me don't like to see
Temptation caving in

[Pre-Chorus]
Your crazy fragrance all around
Your secrets in my view
My lost, my lost was saying found
My don't was saying do

[Chorus]
Let's keep it on the level
When I walked away from you
I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel, too
They oughta give my heart a medal
For letting go of you
When I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel, too

They oughta give my heart a medal
For letting go of you
When I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel, too
