And hell tell her, hes working late again

But she knows to well theres something goin on

Shes been neglected, and she needs a friend

So her trembling fingers dial the telephone



And Lord it hurts her, doin this again

Hes the best friend that her husband ever knew

When shes lonely, hes more than just a friend

Hes the one she loans to give 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 dont want to hurt the others

So they love, in the nighttime

And shake hands in the light of day



And when its over, theres 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

Hoping no one else discovers

Where they go what they do

In their secret hideaway



Daytime friends and nighttime lovers

They dont want to hurt the others

So they love in the nighttime

And shake hands in the light of day



Daytime friends and nighttime lovers...
