The Electrifying Aretha Franklin

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
