Part-Time Lover

The Starlite Orchestra · Other Songs - The Starlite Orchestra

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 peep 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

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

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
