Lyrics
Now, listen here, girls
I'm gonna tell you what I want right now
I want a rough lover
I want a man
I want a rough, tough lover
And I'll find him if I can
He's got to bite nails
Fight bears
And if I get sassy
Be a man who dares
To shut me up and kiss me
So I know he cares
I want a man
Don't want a mean daddy
I want a boss
I want a mean, sweet daddy
Who the devil wouldn't cross
He's got to spit fire
Chew iron
Get mad and start roaring
Like a mountain lion
Then whisper that he loves me
So I know he's mine
I want a man
I'm looking for a guy
Who's big and strong
But weak for me
I'm looking for a guy
Who'll ride around
But never, never set me free
I want a rough lover
I want a man
I want a rough, tough lover
With a sentimental plan
So he can kiss nice
Hug tight
He's gotta be sweet and gentle
Day and night
But mean enough to make me
Want to treat him right
I want a man, oh, yeah
I'm looking for a guy
Who's raving strong
But weak for me
I'm looking for a guy
Who'll ride around
But never, never set me free
I want a rough lover
I want a man
I want a rough, tough lover
With a sentimental plan
So he can kiss nice
Hug tight
He's gotta be sweet and gentle
Day and night
But mean enough to make me
Want to treat him right
I want a man
I want a man
I don't want no creampuff, baby
Don't want no butterfly
I want a man
Oh, yes, I do
Oh, yes, I do
