Part time lover

Call up, ring once, hang up the phone 

To let me know you made it home 

Don't want nothing to be wrong with part-time lover 

If she isn't with me I'll blink the lights 

To let you know tonight's the night 

For me and you, my part-time lover 

We are undercover passion on the run 

Chasing love up against the sun 

We are strangers by day, lovers by night 

Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right 

If I'm with friends and we should meet 

Just pass me by, don't even speak 

Know the word's "discreet" with part-time lovers 

But if there's some emergency 

Have a male friend to ask for me 

So then she won't peek its really you my part-time lover 

We are undercover passion on the run 

Chasing love up against the sun 

We are strangers by day, lovers by night 

Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right 

We are undercover passion on the run 

Chasing love up against the sun 

We are strangers by day, lovers by night 

Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right

[Repeat]

I've got something that I must tell 

Last night someone rang our doorbell 

And it was not you my part-time lover 

And then a man called our exchange 

But didn't want to leave his name 

I guess that two can play the game 

Of part-time lovers 

You and me, part-time lovers 

But, she and he, part-time lovers
