Bruce Springsteen - Ricky Wants A Man Of Her Own lyrics

Well look out mama, your little girl she has changed

She cut her baby curls and she's got her act rearranged

Well 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

Now we're left peeking through the curtains every time that we hear a horn blow

I guess Ricky wants a man of her own

Well 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
