Aretha Franklin — Rough Lover

[Intro] Now, listen here, girls I’m going to tell you what I want right now [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Outro] 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
