Karen Morris www.musicsmile0.wordpress.com [Intro] [Verse] (Who who who who…) Whose that gigolo on the street? With his hands in his pockets and his crocodile feet Hanging off the curb looking all disturbed At the boys from home they all came running They were making noise manhandling toys That’s the girls on the block with the nasty curls Wearing padded bras sucking beers through straws Dropping down their drawers where did you get yours? Gigolo Huh sucker. Gigolo. Gigolo Huh sucker [Pre-Chorus] Whose looking good today? Whose looking good in every way? No style rookie You better watch don’t mess with me [Chorus] No  moneyman can win my love It’s  sweetness that I’m thinking of We always hang in a Buffalo Stance We do the dive every time we dance I’ll give you love baby not romance I’ll make a move nothing left to chance So  don’t  you get  fresh with me Get funky. Yeah Timmy. Tell it like it is. (Check out this DJ) [Verse] 1 2 So you  say you wanted money but you know it’s never funny When  your shoes worn through and there’s a rumble in your tummy But you  had to have style get a gold tooth smile Put a  girl on the corner so you can make a pile Committed a  crime and went inside It was  coming your way but you had to survive When you  lost your babe you lost the race Now you’re  looking at me to take her place [Pre-Chorus] Whose looking good today? Whose looking good in every way? No style rookie You better watch don’t mess with me [Chorus] No  moneyman can win my love It’s  sweetness that I’m thinking of We always hang in a Buffalo Stance We do the dive every time we dance I’ll give you love baby not romance I’ll make a move nothing left to chance So  don’t  you get  fresh with me Smoking not toking get funky sax [RAP] Looking good hanging with the wild bunch Looking good in a Buffalo Stance Looking good when it comes to the crunch Looking good’s a state of mind State of mind don’t look behind you State of mind or you’ll be dead State of mind may I remind you Bomb the Bass Rock this  place What is he  like? What’s he  like anyway? Yo man what do you  expect the guy’s a gigolo man     You know what I mean?               Huh. [Chorus] No  moneyman can win my love It’s  sweetness that I’m thinking of We always hang in a Buffalo Stance We do the dive every time we dance I’ll give you love baby not romance I’ll make a move nothing left to chance So  don’t  you get  fresh with me [Bridge] N.C. Wind on my face sound in my ears N.C. Water from my eyes and you on my mind N.C. As I sink diving down deep deeper into your soul [Outro] No  moneyman can win my  love It’s  sweetness that I’m  thinking of No  moneyman can win my  love It’s  sweetness that I’m  thinking of No  moneyman can win my  love No  moneyman can win my  love No  moneyman can win my  love No  moneyman Karen Morris www.musicsmile0.wordpress.com

La chanson évoque une attitude de détermination et de résistance face aux tentations matérielles et aux superficiels. Elle souligne l'importance de l'authenticité et de l'amour véritable, loin des préoccupations financières. Les paroles décrivent des scènes de vie urbaines, où l'autonomie et le style priment sur les valeurs matérialistes. Le contexte reflète une époque où l'indépendance, en particulier celle des femmes, est mise en avant, tout en naviguant dans un milieu souvent difficile. Ce morceau illustre aussi la culture urbaine des années 80, avec ses dynamiques sociales, ses luttes et ses célébrations, renforçant ainsi l'idée que le vrai bonheur ne réside pas dans l'argent, mais dans la connexion et l'authenticité des relations.
