And he'll tell her
he's working late again
But she knows too well
there's something going on
She's been neglected
and she needs a friend
So her trembling fingers
dial the telephone
Lord, it hurts her
doing 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 longs
he's her body to
Daytime friends
and nighttime lovers
Hoping no one else discovers
Where they go, what they do
and nighttime
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
<Interlude>
When it's over
there's no peace of mind
Just a longing 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 don't want to hurt
the others
So they love in the nighttime
And shake hands
in the light of day
Daytime friends
