And Lord, it hurts her - doin' this again He's the best friend that her husband ever knew. When she's lonely - he's more than just a friend He's the one she loans her body to.

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers - Hoping no one else discovers Where they go - What they do - In their secret hideaway

And when it's over - there's no peace of mind Just a longin' for the way things should have been. And she wonders - Why some men never find That a woman needs a lover and a friend.
