Lyrics
[Intro] Wanted, young man single and free Experience in love preferred, but will accept a young trainee Oh, I'm 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 [Verse 1] 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 lipstick on his collar, perfume on it too Tells me he's been lying, tell ya what I'm gonna do [Refrain] I'm gonna put it in the want ads, this girl's in misery Gonna put it in the want ads, somebody rescue me [Verse 2] I spend my nights alone, cryin' bitter tears Although I cry aloud, nobody really hears And when I need him most, he's never by my side He's either playing cards, or drinking at the bar He thinks that I'm a fool, I'm going to the evening news [Refrain] Gonna put it in the want ads, I need somebody new Gonna put it in the want ads, my man and I are through [Bridge] Extra extra, read all about it Wanted, young man single and free Experience in love preferred But will accept a young trainee [Refrain] Lipstick on his collar, perfume on it too Tells me he's been lying, I'm going to the evening news 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, this girl's in misery Gonna put it in the want ads, somebody rescue me
