Lyrics
[Intro] One two three four [Verse 1] Well, look out, Mama, your little girl, 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 [Chorus] Oh Ricky wants a man of her She wants a man of her Ricky wants a man of her own [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Oh but Mama, Ricky wants a man of her She wants a man of her Ricky wants a man of her own [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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" [Chorus] 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
