Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey little girl comb your hair, fix your makeup
Soon he will open the door
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger
You needn't try anymore
[Verse 2]
For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment
He comes home to you
I'm warning you
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment
He comes home to you
He's almost here
[Verse 5]
Hey little girl, better wear something pretty
Something you'd wear to go to the city
Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music
Time to get ready for love
[Verse 6]
Time to get ready for love
Time to get ready for love
Written by: Burt Bacharach, Hal David
