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 more

For wives should always be lovers, too.
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you.
I'm warning you.

Day 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 again.

For wives should always be lovers, too.
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you.
He's almost here.

Hey, 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 love.

Oh, time to get ready,
Time to get ready,
Time to get ready
For love.

  • I'm in love. What a woman, she's so sexy. I guess I was born late....

  • @soapbxprod

    That is the goodest question...... but nobody answer.

  • A bit of sexist truth behind the lyrics.......but of course it goes both ways ;)

  • Wives can be lovers too. Men will be men.

    too many women forget this. Love the lyrics, and shes beautiful.

  • This song is a bit sexist...if the guys going to leave her for that then who needs him? But I love her voice...just not the lyrics..

  • Wow- who is the bandleader- Nelson Riddle? Billy May? Gordon Jenkins?
