Part-Time Love - Elton John

Part-Time Love - Elton John
3:16
A Single Man, 1978
Written by Elton John and Gary Osborne

Working with the pen of his lesser-known writing partner, John made this bouncy little tune about what appears to be adultery.  "You've been seen running around... Don't tell me what to do / When you've been doing it too / Because you, me and everybody's got a part-time love."  Everybody does it, apparently.  "I've got someone at home / But she's got a love of her own."  It's a jaunty tune you can bob your head to, until perhaps the lyrics start sinking in.
