Aretha Franklin - Rough Lover Lyrics

Now, listen here, girls
I’m going to 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 brave 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 got to be sweet and gentle
Day and night but mean enough to make me
Wanna to treat him right
I want a man, oh yeah

I’m looking for a guy who’s brave 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 got to be sweet and gentle
Day and night but mean enough to make me
Wanna to treat him right i want a man

I want a man
I don’t want no cream puff, baby
I don’t want no butterfly i want a man
Oh, yes, I do oh, yes, I do
