I'm Your Man is a 1988 album by Leonard Cohen.

It was widely considered Cohen's "comeback" album, after the poorly promoted Various Positions in 1984. The album also marked Cohen's further move into modern musical textures, with many songs having a synthpop-style production. I'm Your Man was #1 in Norway.

His then girlfriend, Dominique Isserman , shot a black and white promotional video for the opening track, "First We Take Manhattan". Interestingly, Cohen's longtime collaborator Jennifer Warnes had already recorded a "cover" of this song (and also made a video) in 1987.

The song "Everybody Knows" was one of Cohen's first writing collaboration with Sharon Robinson, who would become a frequent collaborator with Cohen in the future. Most notably, Robinson co-wrote every song on Cohen's 2001 outing Ten New Songs.

"Everybody Knows" was also covered by Concrete Blonde on the soundtrack to the 1990 film Pump Up the Volume, and by ex-Eagle Don Henley on the tribute album Tower of Song: The Songs of Leonard Cohen from 1995.

Already in 1986 an early mix of "Take This Waltz" reached #1 in the Spanish charts (as a single off the García Lorca tribute album Poets in New York).
