    They shoulda called it "Wives and Doormats"

    >I remember being forced to listen to that song every schoolday while my mom made breakfast.<

    I remembered the first line and the chorus about getting ready for love but for some reason I never heard the whole thing--or tuned in on the rest of what the song was saying. (I suspect I was more into my Disney storytelling records than I was into adult lounge music. :)) In fact, it wasn't until W&L was used in the credits of THE FIRST WIVES' CLUB that I registered all the lyrics. Sheesh. Songs like that make one understand why feminism came about as much as all THE FEMININE MYSTIQUES and MS. magazines out there...:P
