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!
