Kenny Rogers - Daytime Friends lyrics

rate me

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
