Weekend lover, part-time friend

Funny how a hundred weekends can end

Sunday evening, shut the door

I won't see you face on Friday no more

And I know, I should have fit you in

Made the time, played to win

But I tried to get your love for free

But no one good, could ever be a weekend lover, not that long

Even when I gave myself you got me wrong

I thought I had you but you ran

And I lost my weekend lover cause I was a part-time man

A Weekend lover

Weekend lover, part-time friend

Funny who ends up the loser in the end

And I know, you tried to see it through

Marking time, keeping true

And you made, the most from what you got

You made it good

But, I forgot my weekend lover, now I've learned

That you only get to keep what you have earned

I thought I had you, but you ran

And I lost my weekend lover cause I was a part-time man

A Weekend lover
