Songfacts®:

  • This song is about two boys that seem to both be gay. They have a romantic encounter with each other and use the excuse that they're just "Seeing Other People." This meaning for the song is assumed mainly because the lyrics, "You're going to have to change - Or you're gonna have to go with girls" and "You'll take a lover for a dirty weekend, that's okay - But when it's over you're looking into the working week - To the eyes of a Gigglo." >>>
