She's a friend, she's a lover
Oh 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 the lucky man she loves
Sometimes I lie awake and watch her sleeping
And I just wanna bust and love drops fill my eyes
And I wonder what she'd think
If she woke up and caught me weeping
‘Cause daddies and heroes ain't supposed to cry
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
I thank God I'm the lucky man she loves
Oh 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 that I’m havin’
Wrapped up in my woman's lovin' arms
Oh she's a friend, she's a lover
Oh she's a woman, she's a wife
She's the answer prayer every lonely man dreams of
Yes she's a temptress, she's a lady, she's the mother of my baby
I thank God I'm the lucky man she loves
And when the load gets heavy on my shoulders
And I can't keep the pace and I need a place to hide
I just run home to my own little world
Take her in my arms and hold her
I soon forget, there's another world outside
‘Cause 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 the lucky man she loves
Oh I thank God, I'm the lucky man she loves
