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 longs 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
 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 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 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
