Who's lookin' good today? No moneyman Can win my love Who's that gigolo on the street With his hands in his pockets and his crocodile feet? Hangin' off the curb, lookin' all disturbed And the boys from home, they all came runnin' They were makin' noise, manhandlin' toys There's the girls on the block with the nasty curls Wearin' padded bras suckin' beers through straws Droppin' down their drawers, where did you get yours? Gigolo Huh, sucka? Gigolo Huh, sucka? Who's lookin' good today? Who's lookin' good in every way? No style rookie You better watch don't mess with me No moneyman can win my love It's sweetness that I'm thinkin' of We always hang in a Buffalo Stance We do the dive every time we dance I'll give you love, baby, not romance I'll make a move nothin' left to chance So don't you get fresh with me So you say you wanted money but you know it's never funny When your shoes worn through and there's a rumble in your tummy But you had to have style, get a gold tooth smile Put a girl on the corner so you can make a pile Committed a crime and went inside It was comin' your way but you had to survive When you lost your babe, you lost your race Now you're lookin' at me to take her place Who's lookin' good today? (Really though?) Who's lookin' good in ever way? (Yeah) No style rookie You better watch don't mess with me Oh, no moneyman can win my love (mm-hmm, you think you got it) It's sweetness that I'm thinkin' of We always hang in a Buffalo Stance (you feel it, babe?) We do the dive every time we dance (give it to me) I'll give you love, baby, not romance I'll make a move nothin' left to chance So don't you get fresh with me Smokin' not cokin' Get funky sax Lookin' good, hangin' with the Wild Bunch Lookin' good in a Buffalo Stance Lookin' good when it comes to the crunch Lookin' good's a state of mind State of mind don't look behind you State of mind or you'll be dead State of mind may I remind you Bomb the bass, rock this place Yo, he's a fuckboy No moneyman can win my love It's sweetness that I'm thinkin' of (oh, oh, oh) We always hang in a Buffalo Stance We do the dive every time we dance (oh, oh, oh) I'll give you love, baby, not romance I'll make a move nothin' left to chance So don't you get fresh with me Wind on my face, sound in my ears Water from my eyes, and you on my mind As I sink, divin' down deep Deeper into your soul Yeah No moneyman can win my love It's sweetness that I'm thinkin' of No moneyman can win my love No moneyman can win my love No moneyman can win my love No moneyman can win my love No moneyman can win my love No moneyman
