Gigolo Blues

Is you is or is you ain't
sweetest devil or smoothest saint?
All dressed up in suits and ties
your smile is empty behind those eyes.
Your words drip of sweet honey,
as your mind trips only on money.

Is you is or is you ain't
a lover of women or a pimp to taint
the latest sweet young thang
with empty promises of a ring,
if she'll only come through
with whenever its about you
and your needs getting met
to the latest bimbos' regret.

So, is you is or is you ain't
as we sit at your feet acting all faint
within the charm of your poison ...
girl, you better just run!

Sweetest devil or smoothest saint? I hope you are not talking about me here, Sue. LOL You know, you girls are always up in arms against gigolos but hey, after all is said and done, and short of force or coercion, it's always you girls who always have the last say on the matter, whether you succumb to them gigolos or give them a big slap on the face. So, yeah, gigolos are there for a purpose: to test girls' toughness...or lack of it, ha ha! Regards, Fred

LOL! You go girl, tell him! These kind of men haven't got a clue to what real love is do they. It's just sad when our hearts get taken in and in the end one finds out they were being used. Well, what goes around comes around I guess. Take care hun Love Light Truth Patricia
