Island in the Stream Lyrics

And he'll tell her

He's working late again

But she knows too well there's something goin' on

She's been neglected and she needs a friend

So her trembling fingers dial the telephone

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 then just a friend

He's the one she longs to give her body to.

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers

Hoping no one else discovers

Where they go what they do

In their secret hidaway

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers

They don't want-a hurt the others

So they love in the nighttime

And shake hands in the light of day

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

a friend.

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers

. . .
