Bruce Springsteen - Ricky Wants a Man of Her Own lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - Ricky Wants a Man of Her Own lyrics]
She has changed she cut her baby curls and
She's got her act rearranged
Look out, Daddy, what she needs now
She can't find at home
Oh Ricky wants a man of her
She wants a man of her
Ricky wants a man of her own
Mama says her little girl won't
Talk to her anymore
She just goes in her room
Turns on the radio, and shuts the door
She's got her own bathroom, TV, stereo
Extension phone
Oh but Mama, Ricky wants a man of her
She wants a man of her
Ricky wants a man of her own
Well Daddy says when he drops her
Off Friday night at the gym
She slides way down in the front seat so
The kids won't see her with him
She don't do no work
She won't tell nobody when she's coming home
She makes poor Daddy wait down on
The corner at midnight all alone
She used to like me to take her to
A ball game or a movie show
She used to make Daddy take his
Little girl where she wanna go
We're left peeking through the
Curtains every time that we hear a horn blow
I guess Ricky wants a man of her own
Yeah, my folks say "Son, talk to her
She'll listen to you"
Yeah, she listens real nice and she
Does what she wants to do
Daddy says she wears her jeans so tight
"Well you change 'em or you're stayin' home"
Oh but Daddy, Ricky wants a man of her
She wants a man of her
Ricky wants a man of her own
She's almost grown ricky wants a man of her
She wants a man of her
Ricky wants a man of her own
