Wives And Lovers
Jones Jack Lyrics

Hey! Little girl
Addressing the listener, most likely a wife, reminding her that she is younger than her husband and playfully calling her 'little girl.'

Comb your hair, fix your makeup
Encouraging the listener to take care of her appearance and make herself look good for her husband.

Soon he will open the door
Reminding the listener that her husband will be home soon, so she should be ready for him.

Don't think because there's a ring on your finger

You needn't try anymore
Emphasizing that the listener should continue to make an effort to please her husband, regardless of their marital status.

For wives should always be lovers too

Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
Encouraging the listener to show physical affection to her husband as soon as he walks in the door.

I'm warning you

There are girls at the office

And men will always be men

Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers
Advising the listener not to let her appearance be a deterrent for her husband spending time with her or coming home to her.

You may not see him again

Better wear something pretty
Encouraging the listener to wear attractive clothing for her husband.

Something you'd wear to go to the city

Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music

Time to get ready
