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 that
he comes home to you.
I'm warning you,
Day after day, there are girls
at the office and the men will always be men,
Don't stand him up, with your
hair still in curlers, you may not see him again.
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 wear to go to the
city,
Dim all the lights, pour the
wine, start the music, time to get ready for love.
Time to get ready for love, yes
it's time to get ready for love,
It's time to get ready, kick
your shoes off, baby....,
