She Said I was a Gigolo [song lyric]

Posted on Jul 24, 2010 Updated on Mar 31, 2017

She said I was a gigolo
I didn’t stand a chance
She told them I’m a gigolo
Now they know how to dance
Then she drove on down the line
With a smile – she’s feeling fine
For on their lips there is the rhyme:
He’s a gigolo

If there’s one thing women hate
It’s a gigolo
If there’s a type they love to slate
It’s the gigolo
Though there’s always prey for him
He’s the joke that’s wearing thin
So to make his prospects grim
Tell them he’s a gigolo

She said I was a gigolo
I didn’t stand a chance
She told them I’m a gigolo
It killed off all romance
Then she drove on down the line
With a smile – she’s feeling fine
For on their lips there is the rhyme:
He’s a gigolo

When your feelings have been hurt
By some gigolo
Then you’re primed to hear a slur
About a gigolo
Well now the jealous woman knows
How to make the competition go
Little whispers they soon flow
Saying he’s a gigolo

She said I was a gigolo
I didn’t stand a chance
She told them I’m a gigolo
It put them in a trance
Then she drove on down the line
With a smile – she’s feeling fine
For on their lips there is the rhyme:
He’s a gigolo

Bridge:
There are two things you can do when you find you’ve been defamed
Just ignore it or devise a counterplan
But mud sticks to the victim
So the dirt must be removed
In the only way that I know that I can

So I give to you this song
About a gigolo
And I hope it rights the wrong
“He’s a gigolo”
I’m a lover, I’m a knight
With no stomach for this fight
But I hope you see the light
About a gigolo

She said I was a gigolo
I didn’t stand a chance
She told them I’m a gigolo
They looked at me askance
But now she wanders down the lane
With her jealousy in flames
Just won’t let myself be framed
As a gigolo
