Gee, I'm awful lonesome,
I need company
Cause I've turned my
sweetie down,
for he's been cheatin' on me
Now I'm by my own stone,
and I'm thinkin' of
I'm just lookin' round
for a new sweetie
I want somebody to love
Want somebody, hear my plea
I'll be sweet as I can be
I want a good man
And I want him bad
If you crave fear and charm
I can fill your empty arms
I want a good man
And I want him bad
You take a chance in love's romance
Now, that's right where I shine
For love, indeed, is what I need,
affection is my line
Hear my plea, goodness sake,
won't someone give me a break?
I want a good man, and I want him bad
If you're poor or if you're rich,
strong or weak,
I don't care which I must have a good man,
and I need him so bad
If you're hot or if you're cold,
I don't care if you're young or old
I'd even take one ninety -three,
but I want him so bad
Now look at me, and you will see
I'm very, very real
Don't have the joe of Claribel,
but a lot more next to you
Now's your chance, man, hear me say,
this may be your lucky day
I want a good man,
and I want him bad
They are still on the country home,
away from noise an d fuss.
A little love now, a place to rest,
the rest is up to us.
Here I am, make up your mind,
girls like me are hard to find.
I want a good man,
and I want him so bad.
