All Nite Lover, All Day Friend Lyrics by Joe South

A Look Inside

0

[Verse 1]
Mm, 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
[Chorus]
Then, if I can't be your all-night 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
[Verse 2]
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 body, and their candy-coated words
Are just a means to a selfish end
[Chorus]
But if I can't be your all-night lover
I got to be your all-day friend
Said if I can't be your all-night lover
I wanna be your all-day friend
[Brdige]
Let me tell you somethin' I-I-I-I-I
Wouldn't tell you no lie
Tell me why I-I-I-I-I
Should bother to deny
That I wanna make it with you?
And there's one thing that 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'd be there
You'd be there, God Almighty
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Instead, if I can't be your all-night 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
[Outro]
I got to be your
I got to be your
All-day friend
Woah, woah, yeah
