part time love is bringing me down
`cause i just can't get started with you, my love.
did i hear you saying that i'm too hard hearted?

wipe those stars from your eyes,
and you'll get quite a surprise..
because you'll see everybody's got a part time love.

you've been seen running around -
there's not much i don't hear of.. and still, you try,
telling me all the things i must stay clear of.

don't tell me what to do,
when you been doing it too.
because you, me and everybody's got a part time love.

falling, i'm falling can't get free.
baby if you keep on stalling,
oh how can i make you see?
that you, me and everybody needs a part time love

part time love.
i seem to be pulling in the wrong direction,
with you, my love.

whatever i do you raise the same objection:
i've got someone at home,
but she's got a love of her own..
because you, me and everybody got a part time love.

i'm waiting, i'm waiting all the time,
and it's getting so frustrating.
love, well it ain't no crime.
because you, me and everybody needs a part time love.
and oh you, me and everybody's got a part time love (love).
and oh you, me and everybody needs a part time love (love).
you, me, everybody got a part time love.
