Lyrics:

Wanted, young man single and free
Experience in love preferred
But will accept a young trainee, oh

At home, I find myself lost and all alone
My man is playing the field, the thrill is gone
He stays out all night, he says he's with the boys

But lipstick on his collar
And perfume on it too
Tells me he's been lying
I tell you what I'm gonna do

Gonna put it in the want ads (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 playin' cards
Or drinkin' at the bar
He thinks that I'm a fool
I'm going to the evening news

Gonna put it in the want ads (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
Wanted, young man single and free
Experience in love preferred
But will accept a young trainee, yeah, yeah


But lipstick on his collar
And perfume on it too
It tells me he's been lying
I'm going to the evening news

Gonna put it in the want ads (Want ads)
This girl's in misery
Gonna put it in the want ads
Somebody rescue me
Gonna put it in the want ads (Want ads)
I need somebody new
Gonna put it in the want ads
My man and I are through
Gonna put it in the want ads (Want ads)
This girl's in misery
Gonna put it in the want ads
Somebody rescue me
Gonna put it in the want ads (Want ads)
I need somebody new
Gonna put it in the want ads
My man and I are through
Gonna put it in the want ads (Want ads)
