Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance (1988)

Will you sit down, stop the scratching
And gimme a beat?
Ladies and gentleman, i’d like to introduce
The high hat
Go on, Mmm, that’s good!
Now the tambourine, right now!
Mmm, Woo, Yeah! DJ!

Who's that gigolo on the street
With his hands in his pockets and his crocodile feet
Hanging off the curb, looking all disturbed
At the boys from home, they all came running
They were making noise, manhandling toys
That's the girls on the block with the nasty curl
Wearing padded bras sucking beers through straws
Dropping down their drawers, where did you get yours?

Gigolo, huh, suker?
Gigolo, gigolo, huh, suker?

Who's looking good today?
Who's looking good in every way?
No style rookie
You better watch don't mess with me

No money man can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking 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 nothing left to chance
So don't you get fresh with me

Get funky!
Yeah Timmy!
Tell it like it is!
Check out this DJ!

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 corne, so you can make a pile
Committed a crime and went inside
It was coming your way, but you had to survive
When you lost your babe, you lost the race
Now you're looking at me to take her place

Who's looking good today?
Who's looking good in every way?
No style rookie
You better watch don't mess with me

No money man can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking 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 nothing left to chance
So don't you get fresh with me

Smokin', not cokin', yeah, funky sax!
Looking good, hanging with the wild bunch
Looking good in a buffalo stance
Looking good when it comes to the crunch
Looking 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 base, rock this place!
What is he like?
What's he like, anyway?
Yo' man what do you expect, the guy's a gigolo man!
You know I mean?

No moneyman can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking 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 nothing left to chance
So don't you get fresh with me

No moneyman can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking 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 nothing 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, diving down deep, deeper into your soul

No money man can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of

No money man can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of

No money man, can win my love
No money man, can win my love
No money man, can win my love
No money man, can win my love
No money man
