now listen here girls
im going to tell you what i want right now
i want a rough lover
i want a man
i want a rough tough lover
and ill find him if i can
hes 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
dont want a mean daddy
i want a boss
i want a mean sweet daddy
who the devil wouldn’t cross
hes got to spit fire
chew iron
get mad and start roaring like a mountain lion
then whisper that he loves me so i know hes mine
i want a man
im looking for a guy whos brave and strong
but weak for me
im looking for a guy wholl 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
hes got to be sweet and gentle
day and night
but mean enough to make me wanna to treat him right
i want a man oh yeah
im looking for a guy whos brave and strong
but weak for me
im looking for a guy wholl ride around
but never never set me free
