  • I'm just a gigolo and everywhere I go
    People know the part I'm playing
    Paid for every dance, selling each romance
    Ooh, what they're sayin'

    There will come a day when youth will pass away
    What will they say about me?
    When the end comes, I know
    They were just the gigolos
    Life goes on without me

    I'm just a gigolo and everywhere I go
    People know the part Dave's playing
    Paid for every dance, selling each romance
    Ooh, what they're sayin'

    But there will come a day when youth will pass away
    What will they say about me?
    When the end comes, I know
    It was just a gigolo
    Life goes on 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

    Better love me, babe
    Sad and lonesome, all of the time
    Even on the beat, on the, on the, on the beat
    Bop, boze-de-boze-de-bop, se-de-bop

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

    Singin' bout that soul
    Singin' bout you Lord
    Baby
    You heard it
    Feeling kind of good, babe
    Little soul
    Little love song
    Ow, singin' 'bout

    Feeling I ain't got nobody
    Woohoo, sad and lonesome baby
    Need love
    Humala bebuhla zeebuhla boobuhla
    Humala bebuhla zeebuhla bop

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

    Been a lonely soul
    Been lonesome all of the time
    Even on the beat
    Johnny, Johnny on the beat
    Need a long tall darling, mama
    David said he got nobody I loves

    Ain't got nobody (nobody), nobody (nobody)
    Nobody (nobody), nobody (nobody)
    No one (no one), no one (no one)
    Loop-de-loop (loop-de-loop)
    Darling, darling (darling, darling)
    Getting serious (getting serious)
    Got to see the walls (got to see the walls)
    Over there (over there)
    Nobody (nobody), not no one (not no one)
    Nobody (nobody), nobody (nobody)
    Nobody (nobody), nobody (nobody)
    Nobody (nobody)
    Nobody cares for me Writer/s: Irving Caesar, Julius Brammer, Leonello Casucci

  • J . J. from PennsylvaniaThe usherette at the beginning is the hottest woman on earth! O M G Who is she?
  • Bam from UsaI would love to know the name of the girl who played the page/usherette near the beginning and the end of the video.
    She has to be a dancer with a bod like that. Very hot.
  • Raunchy from Tulsa, OkHoly Hanna! Didn't know Roth's version got up to #12 on the charts way back in 1985. I wasn't around then. My wife, Roxie, was a DLR fan & is 22 years older than me and remembers this song. Roxie said it was a perfect song for his image as a hedonistic libertine. A whatttt?! Ahhh.... the sweet life of a gigalo!
  • Lisa from Milwaukee, WiI LOVE this song! I was singing it one day, and my grandfather (age 80) started singing along! I didn't know it was an old song. Blew me away.
    One terrific memory.
  • Karen from Manchester, NhHe's got CHIRAAAAASMA!!!
