Daytime Friends
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 …
