I guess you've
heard of my reputation, I've had my share of foolin' around.
But everybody needs stimulation, and mine just happens to be all over town.
It's an easy-money occupation, a first-class psychiatry.
But just once, I'd wanna make love without taking off my clothes.
Just once, I wanna make love with somebody who really and truly knows:
(chorus)
Contrary to rumor, gigolos get lonely too.
All my lovers need stimulation, but honey babe, I think that I need you.
Maybe
you're the kind of person, that could turn my world around.
Won't you gimme little inspiration? Maybe that's what I need to make me settle down.
It's an easy-money occupation, but honey one thing understand.
I've got more money than you could imagine in your wildest dreams.
But honey, money don't make no happy man.
(repeat chorus)
Just once, I wanna love without takin' off my clothes.
Just once, I wanna love with somebody who knows.
That I got more money than
you could ever see.
But honey, money won't get me up off my knees.
Gigolos get lonely too.
All my lovers need stimulation.
But honey babe, I think that I need you.
(repeat chorus)
What cha gonna do, baby?
Oh, what cha, what cha gonna do?
Ah, do you think we could have dinner sometimes, baby?
Well, how about to night?
Baby?

"Gigolos Get Lonely Too" is the fifth track from the Time's six-song album, What Time Is It?. One of the first songs recorded for the album, it was produced, arranged, composed and performed by Prince with Morris Day later adding his lead vocals.
The song is the album's only ballad, featuring a treated drum machine, as well as live drums. Keyboards and bass make up the remaining instrumentation with an understated guitar. Day sang and played drums, Jesse Johnson played guitar, and Prince played everything else. The single was backed with the album's closing track "I Don't Wanna Leave You".
The single reached number 77 on the R&B charts.[1] A live recording of the song from 1998 was included on Morris Day's 2004 release, It's About Time.
A different mix of the song is heard on the posthumous Prince album Originals, released in 2019. This version has Prince on lead vocals and most instruments, Johnson on guitar and backing vocals, and Day on drums and backing vocals.[2]
