Double Life Lyrics

DOUBLE LIFE

Yvonne is working 9 to 5
It pays the rent, keeps her alive

Come 2 o"clock

She"s already thinking about the night

At home she shakes off the day

And begins her double life

Get dressed, shoes on, let"s go

Step into the shelter of the night

Step into her double life

Bit by bit she unwinds

Into her double life

Her double life

Around 2am she stumbles in

Get some sleep, do it all again

At work five cups of coffee

Won"t wipe the sleep from her eyes

She won"t be wide awake
Till she begins her double life

Wash up, look sharp, let"s go

Silently she steps into the night

Steps into her double life

Bit by bit she unwinds

Into her double life

Her double life

No one"s sure just where she goes

Everynight in her sharpest clothes

Some say she rendezvous

With her loverboy uptown
They guess as her shadow fades

When the sun goes down

Yvonne, will you tell me

Tell me where you"re spending all your nights

All about your double life

Your double life

Double life

Double life, double life

Double life, double life

Double life

Here we are tonight

In your double life
