text: Well look out mama, your little girl she has changed
  She cut her baby curls and shes got her act rearranged
  Well look out daddy, what she needs now she cant 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 wont talk to her anymore
  She just goes in her room, turns on the radio, and shuts the door
  Shes 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 wont see her with him
  She dont do no work, she wont tell nobody when shes 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 were 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, shell 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 youre stayin
  Home
  Oh but daddy, Ricky wants a man of her
  She wants a man of her
  Ricky wants a man of her own
  Shes almost grown
  Ricky wants a man of her
  She wants a man of her
