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
Im 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 (time love)
I seem to be pulling in the wrong direction
With you my love (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.
