And he‘ll tell her
He‘s working late again
But she knows too well
There‘s something going on
She‘s been neglected
And she needs a friend
SO her trembling fingers
dial the telephone
Lord it hurts her
Doing this again
He‘s the best friend
That her husband ever knew
But when she‘s lonely
He‘s more than just a friend
He‘s the one she longs
To give her body to
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
Hoping no one else dicovers
Where they go, what they do
In their secret hideaway
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
They don‘t want to hurt the others
So they love in the nighttime
And shake hands in the light of day
And when it‘s over
There‘s no peace of mind
Just a longing for the way
That should have been
And she wonders
Why some men never find
That a woman needs
a lover and a friend
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
Hoping no one else dicovers
Where they go, what they do
In their secret hideaway
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
They don‘t want to hurt the others
So they love in the nighttime
And shake hands in the light of day
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
