Lyrics

  1. 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
  2. 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 always 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
