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



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

I'm gonna put it in the want ads, this girl's in misery

Gonna put it in the want ads, somebody rescue me



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

Gonna put it in the want ads, I need somebody new

Gonna put it in the want ads, my man and I are through



Extra extra, read all about it, wanted, young man single and free
