Текст песни All Nite Lover, All Day Friend - Joe South

Mmm
If everyone who wants you tonight
Should all of a sudden drop by
They'd have to stop and form a line on the right
And me, I wouldn't bother to try
But, if you ever need yourself a good man
On whom you can depend

Then, if I can't be your all nite lover
I wanna be your all day friend
And if I can't be your all nite lover
I wanna be your all day friend

Beware when they tell ya "I love ya", baby
It just shouldn't be necessary
These are the three words most abused
In the English dictionary
They love your party and that kinda golden words
Are just a means to a selfish end

But if I can't be your all nite lover
I got to be your all day friend
Said if I can't be your all nite lover
I wanna be your all day friend

Let me tell you somethin'
I-I-I-I-I-I wouldn't tell you no lie
Tell me why I-I-I-I-I-I
Should bother to deny
That I wanna make it with you?
And there's one thing I'll never do
And that's to join in the competition
I'd just as soon go on wishin'
That I could roll over in the mornin' and you'll be there
You'll be there, whoa, yes

And when he tells all his buddies
'Bout the conquest he made last night
You know I'd like to drop the son of gun in his tracks
But two wrongs don't make a right
But to stand up strong like an oak tree
Means sometime that I'll have to be

Instead, if I can't be your all nite lover
I wanna be your all day friend
And if I can't be your all night lover
I wanna be your all day friend

I got to be your
I got to be your
All day friend
Whoa, whoa, yeah
