Friends By Day (Lovers By Night) Lyrics by The Whatnauts

Message From A Black Man

0

[Verse 1]
Oh-ho-ho you and I (You and I)
We know we love each other (Each other)
It's a shame we have to hide and pretend
We as friends by day
[Chorus]
(Yes, we must be friends by day)
Friends by day, but lovers by night
(Let me give to you my love)
But lovers by night, friends by day
(Yes, we must be friends by day)
Friends by day, but lovers by night
[Verse 2]
Ooh we, ooh we both (Ooh we both)
Tried our best to make it stop
But then a feeling overcame me
And I want you in my arms
Like I wanted to for so long
We just got to be
[Chorus]
(Yes, we must be friends by day)
Friends by day, but lovers by night
(Let me give to you my love)
But lovers by night, friends by day
(Yes, we must be friends by day)
Friends by day, but lovers by night
[Bridge]
Ooh
[Verse 3]
Oh, and when we're all together
You with him, and she's with me
Soon one of us has to tell them
'Cause we can't go on this way
Hiding out now day after day
I don't want us to be
[Chorus]
(Yes, we must be friends by day)
Friends by day, but lovers by night
(Let me give to you my love)
But lovers by night, friends by day
(Yes, we must be friends by day)
Friends by day, but lovers by night
(Let me give to you my love)
But lovers by night, friends by day
(Yes, we must be friends by day)
[Outro]
Friends by day, and lovers by night
(Let me give to you my love)
But lovers by night
