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


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 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


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
