Just a Gigolo

Coleman Hawkins

I'm just a gigolo and ev'rywhere I go
People know the bar I'm playing
Pay for every dance selling each romance
Ooh, I could say

There would come a day
When news will pass away
What could they say about me

When the end comes I know
There were just the gigolos
Right, 'cause I'm without me

I'm just a gigolo everywhere I go
People know the part it's playing
Pay for every dance selling each romance
Ooh, I could say

There would come a day
When news will pass away
What could they say about me

When the end comes I know
There were just the gigolos
Right, 'cause I'm without me

'Cause I ain't got nobody
Nobody cares for me, nobody
Nobody cares for me

I'm so sad and lonely
Sad and lonely, sad and lonely
Won't some sweet mama come
And take a chance with me
'Cause I ain't so bad

Sad and lonesome all of the time
Even on the beat, on the, on the beat
I ain't got nobody
Nobody cares for me, nobody, nobody

I, I, I, ain't got nobody
Nobody, nobody cares for me
Nobody, nobody

I'm so sad and lonely, sad and lonely
Won't some sweet mama come
And take a chance with me
'Cause I ain't so bad

Really want that soul
Little loving soul all of the time
Even on the beat, cherry, cherry on the beat
Need a long tall darling, mama

Feeling sick, got nobody
No, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, no one, no one
Loopey loop, darling, darling

Getting serious, got to see the walls
Over there, nobody, got no one, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody cares for me
