And he`ll tell her - He`s working late again
But she knows to well there`s something goin` on.
She`s been neglected - and she needs a friend
So her trembling fingers dial the telephone.
And Lord, it hurts her - doin` this again
He`s the best friend that her husband ever knew.
When she`s lonely - he`s more than just a friend
He`s the one she loans her body to.
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers -
Hoping no one else discovers
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 longin` for the way things 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 ...
