Claude King - Friend Lover Woman Wife lyrics

She's a friend she's a lover she's a woman she's a wife

She's the answer prayer every lonely man dreams of

She's a temptress she's a lady she's the mother of my baby

And I thank God I'm a lucky man she's loved

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 daddys and heroes ain't supposed to cry

You know the morning always seems to catch us laughing

We got baby in bed between us safe and warm

And I thank the Lord above for all the good times that I have

Wrapped up in my woman's lovin' arms

She's a friend she's a lover...

[ guitar ]

When the load gets heavy on my shoulders

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

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

And I soon forget there's another world outside

She's a friend she's a lover...
