Want Ads

Wanted: Young man, single and free
Experience and love preferred
But will accept a young trainee

Oh, gonna put it in the want ads
I need a love that's true
Gonna put it in the want ads
My man and I are through

At home, I find myself lost and all alone
My man is playing the field, the thrill is gone
He stays out all night, says he's with the boys
But with the lipstick on his collar
The perfume on it, too
Tell me he's been lying
Tell you what I'm gonna do

Gonna put it in the want ads
There's girls in misery
Gonna put it in the want ads
Somebody rescue me

I spend all my nights crying bitter tears
Although I'm crying loud, nobody really hears
And when I need him most, he's never by my side
He'll be either playing cards or drinking at the bar
He thinks that I'm a fool
I'm going to the evening news

I'm gonna put it in the want ads
Somebody rescue me
Gonna put it in the want ads
My man and I are through

Extra extra, read all about
Wanted: Young man, single and free
Experience and love preferred
But will accept a young trainee

Oh, gonna put it in the want ads
I need somebody new
Gonna put it in the want ads
My man and I are through
Gonna put it in the want ads
There's girls in misery
Gonna put it in the want ads
Somebody rescue me

With the lipstick on his collar
The perfume on it, too
Tell me he's been lying
Going to the evening news

I'm gonna put it in the want ads
I need somebody new
Gonna put it in the want ads
My man and I are through
Gonna put it in the want ads
There's girls in misery
Gonna put it in the want ads
Somebody rescue me
