Part Time Love

Song byElton John
in AlbumA Single Man

Part time love is bringing me down

'Cause I just can't get started with you my love

Did I hear you saying that I'm too hard hearted

Wipe those stars from your eyes

And you'll get quite a surprise

Because you'll see everybody's got a part time love

You've been seen running around

There's not much I don't hear of and still you try

Telling me all the things I must stay clear of

Don't tell me what to do

When you been doing it too

Because you, me and everybody's got a part time love

Falling, I'm falling can't get free

Baby if you keep on stalling

Oh how can I make you see

That you, me and everybody needs a part time love

Part time love

I seem to be pulling in the wrong direction

With you my love

Whatever I do you raise the same objection

I've got someone at home

But she's got a love of her own

Because you, me and everybody got a part time love

I'm waiting, I'm waiting all the time

And it's getting so frustrating

Love well it ain't no crime

Because you, me and everybody needs a part time love

And oh you, me and everybody's got a part time love

And oh you, me and everybody needs a part time love

You, me, everybody got a part time love
