Part Time Lover

Call up three times, hang up the phone
Don't let me know you made it home
Don't want nothing to be wrong
With my part-time lover
If he's with me I'll break the lights
Just to let you know tonight's the night
For me and you, my part-time lover

We are alcohol, passion and pain
Chasing love up against the sand
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing so wrong but feeling so right

If I was friends I would shoot me
Just pass me by, don't even speak
Know the word's "discreet"
With all my part-time lovers
But if there's some emergency
Have a girlfriend to ask for me
So then he won't peek
At my part-time lover

We are alcohol, passion and pain
Chasing love up against the sand
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing 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 girl called our exchange
But didn't want to leave her name
Guess that two can play the game
Of part-time lovers

Part-time lover
