Well there she goes again and the hurt begins

But I must pretend I don't know she's alive

There he stands so close we can touch almost

But we must act like strangers nine to five

The ones who work here every day musn't know we feel this way

So we must hide our feelings for a while

But when each endless day is through I'll try to make it up to you

For acting like a stranger nine to five

It's all that I can do to keep from kissing you

When I see you say I love you with your eyes

Just one tender touch would show I care too much

So we must act like strangers nine to five

But when each endless day is through I'll try to make it up to you

For acting like a stranger nine to five
