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
|
He 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
|
<Interlude>
|
Hey little girl
|
Come on that wear some pretty
|
something pretty
|
to go to the city
|
And dim all the lights
|
Pour the wine start the music
|
Time to get ready for love
|
Time to get ready
|
Time to get ready
|
Time to get ready For love
|
Time to get ready
|
Time to get ready
|
Time to get ready For love
|
