Wanted, young man, single and free

Experienced in love, preferred

But will accept a young trainee

Back home, I find myself, lost and all alone

My man is playin' 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

Tell's me he's been lying

I tell you what I'm gonna do

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, crying bitter tears

Although I cry a lot, nobody really hears

And when I need him most, he's never by my side

He's either playin' cards or drinking at the bar

He thinks that I'm a fool

I'm goin' to the evening news

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

Experienced, preferred

But will accept a young trainee

Lipstick on his collar, perfume on it, too

Tell's me he's been lying

I'm going to the evening news

Gonna put it in the want ads

This girl's in misery

Lipstick on his collar, perfume on it, too

Tell's me he's been lying

I'm going to the evening news

Gonna put it in the want ads

This girl's in misery
