Sailor Scouts (minus Serena)

This is a typical 50’s and early 60’s type song which promotes the stereotype that a woman needs a man to survive. This stereotype is, unfortunately, something the Sailor Scouts actually believe in. Oh well, no one’s perfect.

I Want A Guy
By The Marvelettes

I... want a guy
To need me
One... who will love me completely
Not like the last, who’s in the past
Who broke my heart and made me cry

I... wish that he
Would come and kiss me
And tell me that he misses me
I know someday he’ll come my way
And I’ll never, no I’ll never be lonely again

I don’t need gifts like diamond rings
As long as he loves me, that’s everything
As long as he needs holds me tight,
As long as he treats me right,
I’ll never let him out of my sight

I... want a guy
To need me
One... who will love me completely
Not like the last, who’s in the past
Who broke my heart and made me cry

Let me tell you
I... really need a guy
I really need a guy
Who will love me

Oh, let me tell you...
