Friend, Lover, Woman, Wife lyrics

Well, she's a friend, she's a lover

She's a woman, she's a wife

She's the answer to the prayer that every lonely man dreams of

She's a temptress, she's a lady

She's the mother of my baby

And I thank God that I'm the lucky man she loves

Sometimes I lie awake and watch her sleeping

And I just wanna bust and love drops fill my eyes

I wonder what she'd think if she woke up and caught me weeping

'Coz daddy's heroes ain't supposed to cry

You know the morning always seems to catch us laughing

We got the baby in the bed between us safe and warm

And I thank the Lord above for all the good times I'm having

Wrapped up in my woman's loving arms

'Coz she's a friend, she's a lover

She's a woman, she's a wife

She's the answer to the prayer that every lonely man dreams of

She's a temptress, she's a lady

She's the mother of my baby

And I thank God that I'm the lucky man she loves

When the load gets heavy on my shoulders

I can't keep the pace and I need a place to hide

I run home to my own little world and take her in my arms and hold her

And I soon forget that there's another world outside

Well, she's a friend, she's a lover

She's a woman, she's a wife

She's the answer to the prayer that every lonely man dreams of

She's a temptress, she's a lady

She's the mother of my baby

And I thank God that I'm the lucky man she loves
