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 And oh you, me and everybody needs a part time love You, me, everybody got a part time love
