Live 24 Aug 2008 version
[Spoken intro:] Good evening ??? city - Kansas City! Oh let's start with something obscure here.
One two three four!
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 got her own bathroom, TV, stereo, extension phone
Whoa! 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 back home
She makes poor daddy sit down on the corner at midnight all alone
She used to like me to take her to a ball game or a picture film
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
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 too tight, "She should change 'em or she's stayin' home"
Oh 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
The above lyrics are for the live 24 Aug 2008 performance of RICKY WANTS A MAN OF HER OWN at Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO, during the Magic Tour. The song was the show opener.
