We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing its so wrong, but feeling so right
Call up, ring once, hang up the phone
To let me know you made it home
Don't want nothing to be wrong with my part-time lover
If shes with me I'll blink the lights
To let me know tonight's the night
For me and you, you know my part-time lover
And we are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing its so wrong, but feeling so right
If I'm with friends and we should meet
Just pass me by, don't even speak
You know the words discreet when part-time lover
And we are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing its so wrong, but feeling so right
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Hey!
Were part time lover
