Wives and Lovers Songtext
von Cécile McLorin Salvant

Hey, little girl
Comb your hair, fix your makeup
Soon he will open the door
Don′t think because theres a ring on your finger
You needn't try anymore
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
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 almost here

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
Time to get ready for love
Time to get ready for love
