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 ...
