how can you live for the day
but have a secret affair with the night?
no one watches me
as i stay awake until the wee hours
pretending i'm asleep

but I still love you, day
I just love the night too

how can you tend the farm
homely girl by day
but light up with iridescent city lights?
no one can know about my artificial stars

but I still love you, country
I just love the city too

how can I see you, my dear  
but look at him and feel the same?
I know you can't understand it
and neither can i

but I still love you, honey
I just love him too
