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 somethin' 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
[Verse 6]
Dim all the lights
Pour the wine, start the music
Time to get ready for love
Time to get ready
Time to get ready for love
Time to get ready
Time to get ready for love
Written by: Burt Bacharach, Hal David
