The sunshine don’t seem to shine on me,
But sometimes I find tranquility
Cos happiness is a mistress now, it seems
She comes to me in faith and memory
My head’s a mess, she comes from time to time
Each time she wears a different dress, each time she feels sublime
Part time lover, you love me like no other
You are my part time lover, you love me like no other, oh
It feels as though the night will never end
But at dawn she goes and leaves me with a heart to mend
So I buzz towards the light that paints the trees
But I’m dreaming of the light that never leaves
Oh you part time lover, you love me like no other
You are my part time lover, you love me like no other, oh
Still through the wife of day I hope
That she will come around
Perhaps one day we will elope
With pleasures that we found
You never promised me that you would stick around to share
My life and liberty or my pleasures or my pains but who cares?
You are my part time lover, you love me like no other
You are my part time lover, you love me like no other, oh
Oh ya part time lover!
I’d say you love me like no other
You are my part time lover
And you love me like no other
