DAYTIME FRIENDS
Kenny Rogers


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 ...
