Album: Ten Years of Gold
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
