He promised her a walk and a poke a day
Oh, if she would come and stay
But she has a life in another place,
Smiles for another face
So she’s his part time lover,
Seasonal partner, loving while they can
It’s human nature that brings them together
Don’t have to understand,
Now he’s her half time man
And a happy man
She’s got more than she needs
And it leaves her feeling blue
She always needs to get away
Her life’s a mystery, to the people that care
But they don’t pry, no they don’t dare
So she’s his part time lover,
Seasonal partner, loving while they can
It’s human nature that brings them together
Don’t have to understand,
Now he’s her half time man
And a happy man
Openly honestly love has no flaws,
It’s the people that judge that get it all wrong
They’re finding a place where they can belong,
Happily playing, but not for too long, then so long
A sailor deep at heart, a boat in every port
And he gets by anyway he can
His life's and open book, got a story to share
But loneliness he cannot bear
So she’s his part time lover,
Seasonal partner, loving while they can
It’s human nature that brings them together
Don’t have to understand,
Now he’s her half time man
And a happy man
Yeah he’s her half time man
And a happy man
