CFCF
And he'll tell her he's working late again
CFC
But she knows too well there's something going on
FCFCF
She's been neglected and she needs a friend
CFC
So her trembling fingers dial the telephone
FCF
Lord it hurts her doing this again
CFC
He's the best friend that her husband ever knew
FCFCF
When she's lone-ly he's more than just a friend
CFC
He's the one she longs to give her body to
F
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
CF
Hoping no one else discovers
CAmDmG7
Where they go what they do in their secret hideaway
CF
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
CF
They don't want to hurt the other
CF
So they love in the nighttime
C
And shake hands in the light of day
FCF
When it's over there's no peace of mind
CFC
Just a longing for the way things should have been
FCFCF
And she wonders why some men never find
CFC
That a woman needs a lover and a friend
F
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
CF
Hoping no one else discovers
CAmDmG7
Where they go what they do in their secret hideaway
CF
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
CF
They don't want to hurt the other
CF
So they love in the nighttime
C
And shake hands in the light of day
