Buffalo Stance Lyrics By Neneh Cherry

    will you stop this gigolo scratching and gimme a beat
    ouch
    ladies and gentlemen i’d like to duce the high hat
    go on mmmm that’s good
    now the tambourine right now
    mmmm 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
    and the boys from home they all came running
    they were making noise manhandling toys
    there’s the girls on the block with the nasty curls
    wearing padded bras sucking beers through straws
    dropping down their drawers where did you get yours

    interlude
    gigolo
    huh sukka
    gigolo gigolo
    huh sukka
    gigolo

    pre
    who’s looking good today
    who’s looking good in ever way
    no style rookie
    you better watch don’t mess 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

    interlude
    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 corner 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

    pre
    who’s looking good today
    who’s looking good in ever way
    no style rookie
    you better watch don’t mess 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

    smokin’ not cokin’
    get funky sax
    looking good hang in 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 bass rock this place

    interlude
    what is he like what’s he like anway
    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

    interlude
    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 moneyman can win my love
    it’s sweetness that i’m thinking of
    no moneyman can win my love
    it’s sweetness that i’m thinking 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
