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 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 don't want to hurt the others   So they love in the nighttime   And shake hands in the light of day      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 and nighttime lovers
