Del Shannon - Part Time Lover

I sit here thinking
What might be
If I wait long enough
You'll care for me

But the longer I wait
I can't tell if it's love or hate
And I'm about to tell you
How I feel

I don't want to be a
Part-time lover
Someone you uncover
In the middle of the night when you need someone to hold

We've been through it all before
So keep away from my front door
And you better find another
'Cause your part-time lover
Ain't your lover anymore

I still keep thinking
Someday you'll change
And this lonely life I lead
Won't be the same

But more and more I realize
I can't live on empty lies
It's about time I told you
Just how I feel

I ain't gonna be a
Part-time lover
Someone you discover
On your way home when you've got no place to go

Yes, I've heard it all before
So keep away from my front door
And you better find another
'Cause your part-time lover
Ain't your lover anymore

I ain't gonna be a
Part-time lover
While you still love another
Make believe everything's gonna be alright

I ain't gonna be a
Two time loser
I ain't got time to please her
In the middle of the night when she needs someone to hold
I ain't gonna be a
Part-time lover...
