Honey Cone – Want Ads lyrics

Wanted: young man single and free.
Experience in love preferred, but will accept a young trainee.
Ohhh.
I'm gonna put it in the want ads.
(Want ads. Yeah, yeah, yeah.) 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.
The 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.
He tells me he's been lying.
Tell you what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna put it in the want ads. (Want ads)
This girl's in misery.
Gonna put it in the want ads. Huh!
Somebody rescue me.

I spend so many nights crying bitter tears.
Although I cry out loud, 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.

I'm gonna put it in the want ads. (Want ads)
I need somebody new.
Gonna put it in the want ads. Huh!
My man and I are through.

Extra, extra, read all about it.
Wanted: young man single and free.
Experience in love preferred, but will accept a young trainee.
Ohhh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh.

Extra, extra, read all about it.
Wanted: young man single and free.
Experience in love preferred, but will accept a young trainee.
Ohhh.
I'm gonna put it in the want ads. (Want ads)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah.) I need somebody new.
Gonna put it in the want ads. Huh! (Want ads)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah.) My man and I are through.
Gonna put it in the want ads. (Want ads)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah.) Oooh, this girl's in misery.
Gonna put it in the want ads. (Want ads)
Please somebody rescue me. (Yeah. yeah. yeah.)

Lipstick on his collar, perfume on it too.
He tells me he's been lying.
I'm going to the evening news.
I'm gonna put it in the want ads. (Want ads)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah.) I need somebody new.
Gonna put it in the want ads. Huh! (Want ads)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah.) My man and I are through.
Gonna put it in the want ads. (Want ads)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah.) Oooh, this girl's in misery.
Gonna put it in the want ads. (Want ads)
Please somebody rescue me. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
Gonna put it in the want ads. (Want ads)
