Part Time Lover Full Time Fool
Peggy Scott-Adams Lyrics

Baby?
Addressing the sleeping lover, trying to wake them up

Baby wake up!
Urging the lover to wake up

Huh, wow what time is it?
Asking about the time with surprise

It's five o'clock in the morning baby
Answering the question about the time

Oh, I don't wanna hear my wife's voice this morning
Displeased to hear the wife's voice in the morning

Where's my underwear?
Asking about the location of the underwear

Right here at the foot of the bed
Giving the location of the underwear

You call me later
Asking the lover to call later

Will do baby bye
Agreeing to the request and saying goodbye

I'm your part time lover, and your full time fool
Identifying oneself as the lover who is foolishly in love

I don't care about nothing but loving you
Being devoted to the love for the lover

My friend done told me I should set you free
Recounting a friend's advice to let go of the lover

But they don't know what you do to me
Rejecting the friend's advice based on the strength of the love and its effect on the singer

Too much of your lovin' still ain't enough
Expressing the deep desire for the lover's love

Oooh baby where you learn how to do that freaky stuff
Complimenting the lover's intimate skills

I been cheated by men all of my life
Suggesting that the singer has been previously wronged in relationships by men

But the way you please I don't mind sharing you with your wife
Being content with sharing the lover with their wife as long as they are physically pleased

You a married man and that makes it wrong
Recognizing the taboo nature of being with a married man

To fall in love outside of home
Acknowledging the violation of falling in love outside of the home

Your wife is a square and baby you a freak
Contrasting the conservative nature of the wife with the more adventurous nature of the singer's lover

Now what you can't get at home you have to get it in the streets
Justifying the need for the lover to seek pleasure outside of the home

I give you the freedom to express your freaky self
Being accepting of the lover's unique kinks and wants

You get from me what you can't get from nobody else
Highlighting the value of the singer's love

I quit you once and I tried to clean up my act
Recalling a past attempt to move on from the lover

I was strong enough to walk away but just too weak to stay
Acknowledging the singer's inability to stay away from the lover despite the attempt to move on

I don't call you on the phone cause I respect your home
Being considerate of the lover's home life

Don't drive by your house cause I know that's wrong
Avoiding driving by the lover's house to be respectful

When I see you in the streets baby and you're with your wife
Encountering the lover's wife and acknowledging their relationship

Your hers today but you're mine tonight
Taking comfort in the fact that the lover belongs to their wife for the day, but is the singer's at night

We should be ashamed for the things we do
Recognizing the societal taboo nature of the ongoing relationship

But it's good to me baby and it's good to you
Acknowledging the pleasure received from the relationship, regardless of the societal taboo

I'll be anticipating
Expressing excitement for more interaction with the lover

(Part time lover)
Emphasizing that the position in the lover's life is only part time

Be right here waiting
Promising to be available for the lover

(Full time fool)
Accepting the foolishness of being a full-time lover

You make me go ah!
Expressing the pleasure felt from the lover's actions

Feels so good to me
Commenting on the physical pleasure gained from the relationship

(Full time fool)
Accepting the foolishness of being a full-time lover

Oooh you make me go ow!
Expressing the intense pleasure that the lover brings

It's real real good to me
Reiterating the positive feelings felt in the relationship

You a real good lover
Complimenting the lover's physical talents

(Part time lover)
Emphasizing that the position in the lover's life is only part time

And a freaky man!
Acknowledging and complimenting the lover's adventurous nature

Last night you made me scream out my own name
Commenting on the intensity of physical pleasure gained from the relationship

Good to me
Reasserting the positive feelings felt in the relationship

So good to me
Reiterating the positive feelings felt in the relationship

So good to me
Reiterating the positive feelings felt in the relationship

It's real real good to me
Reiterating the positive feelings felt in the relationship
