JUST A GIGOLO
Prima Louis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everywhere I go
People know the part
I'm playing
Paid for every dance
Selling each romance
Every night some heart
Betraying
There will come a day
Youth will pass away
Then what will they say
About me
When the end comes I know
They'll say just a gigolo
As life goes on
Without me
'Cause I ain't got nobody
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
Get along with me babe,
Been singin' love songs
All of the time
Even only be, honey only, only be
Bop bozadee bozadee bop zitty bop
I ain't got nobody 'cept love songs in love
Hummala bebhuhla zeebuhla boobuhla
Hummala bebhuhla 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
Get along with me babe,
Been singin' love songs
All of the time
Even only be, honey only, only be
The song “Just a Gigolo” by Prima Louis is a melancholic tune that reflects on the life of a gigolo. The persona in the song sings about his life as a paid dancer, selling each romance, and betraying every heart every night. Everywhere he goes, people know his part, and he is just a gigolo. The persona is aware that he is not going to live forever, and when his youth passes away, everyone will say he was just a gigolo. He is sad and lonely because he doesn’t have anyone who cares for him, except for the love songs he sings. He longs for someone to take a chance with him, and because he ain't so bad, he believes someone will.
The persona is aware of his wrong choices in life and lives with regret that will haunt him for the rest of his life. He is aware of his circumstances and realizes that he'll fade into history as just a gigolo. However, he continues to sing his love songs, hoping that someone would come along to take a chance with him. The use of onomatopoeic words such as ‘bop bozadee bozadee bop zitty bop’ and ‘Hummala bebhuhla zeebuhla boobuhla’ adds a playful element to the song, making it groovy and fun to sing along to.

Sigh. I do the same thing candace. The lone Wolf lifestyle definitely comes as advertised: lonely 🐺
That’s why sometimes you gotta be easy on yourself. Puff on some hookah, throw on Magic Mike, and just reflect.
There’s 4 types of Gigolos in this world:

Respect to you candace!

Ooh, and they're sayin'

This is my favorite song because what he says is a sad fact, but the way he expresses it makes you fell like it'll be just fine.
