LOVERS IN THE MORNING (BUT WHAT ABOUT NOON?)
    The alarm goes off at six AM
    The start of another day
    He gently pulls the covers aside
    It's always the same way
    He goes off to work at eight o'clock
    So we have two hours to be alone
    We make the best of every morning
    Cause for the rest of the day he's gone

    I'm not your average girlfriend
    I'm not even a wife
    We just have our daily ceremonies
    To make the best of our lives
    He walks in while I'm sleeping
    But he leaves the house too soon
    Oh we're lovers in the morning
    But what do I do at noon

    CHORUS
    Oh we're lovers in the morning
    Awake from all the snoring
    The perfect start for another day
    Yeah we're lovers in the morning
    Cause that's when he comes courtin'
    Oh how I wish that sometime he will stay
    But he doesn't listen to what I have to say
    We're just lovers in the morning
    And then he goes away

    Once he leaves each morning
    I can't return to sleep
    I sit and think about what we do
    Seven days each week
    The passion builds up inside me
    And I can't wait until I see him again
    But if I want love in the evening
    It's on others that I must depend

    And so I go to sleep at midnight
    And I dream of him all night long
    The sheet beside me is empty
    But that's just until the dawn
    Someday we will get married
    When his work hours start getting few
    But right now we're lovers in the morning
    So what do I do at noon

    REPEAT CHORUS
