Friend, Lover, Woman, Wife - Shindig Society

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

Cause 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 been having

Wrapped up in my woman's loving arms

Cause 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

Thank God I'm the one she loved

Thank God I'm the one she loved

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

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 sweet little baby

And I thank God

That I'm the lucky man she loves
