Wives and Lovers Lyrics
Hey, little girl
Comb your hair, fix your make-up
Soon he will open the door
Don’t think because
There’s a ring on your finger
You needn’t try any moreFor wives should always be lovers, too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
I’m warning youDay after day
There are girls at the office
And men will always be men
Don’t send him off
With your hair still in curlers
You may not see him againFor wives should always be lovers, too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
He’s almost hereHey, little girl
Better wear something pretty
Something you’d wear to go to the city
And dim all the lights
Pour the wine, start the music
Time to get ready for loveOh, time to get ready
Time to get ready
Time to get ready
For love
