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 lovers.

If she's with me I'll blink the light

to let you know tonight's the night

for me and you, my part-time lover.

We're 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" when part-time lovers.

But if there's some emergency

have a male friend to ask for me

so then she won't peek it's really you my part-time lover.

Chorus. (repeat)

I've got something that I must tell:

last night someone rang our door bell

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.
