Call up, ring once, hang up the phone
To let me know you made it home
Don't want nothing to be wrong with part-time lover

If she's with me I'll blink the lights
To let you know tonight's the night
For me and you, my part-time lover

We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right

If I'm with friends and we should meet
Just pass me by, don't even speak
Know the word's 'Discreet' when part-time lovers

But if there's some emergency
Have a male friend to ask for me
So then she won't peek it's really you, my part-time lover

We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right

Part-time lovers
Part-time lovers

We are undercover passion on the run, yeah
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, feeling so right

I got something that I must tell
Last night someone rang our doorbell
And it was not you, my part-time lover

And then a man called our exchange
But didn't want to leave his name
I guess that two can play the game of part-time lovers
You and me, part-time lovers but she and he, part-time lovers

Part-time lovers
Part-time lovers
Part-time lovers
