Day Is Done Lyrics
Do you like me?
Well I hope you do
Cause if you like me
Then I think I'm gonna to have to like you too
We'll share our things
And have some fun
Then we'll say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done
If you tell me
I'll tell you too
And we'll say the things
And do the things that lovers do
We'll keep it to ourselves
We won't hurt no one
Then we'll say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done
We'll carve our names
On a tree
Then we'll burn it down
So no one in the world will see
And we'll make love
While we watch the flame
Then we'll walk away
As if we never had no shame
Now we must hide
To be alone
And we can't say
Our sweet things on the telephone
If we can't stop
What we've begun
We should say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done
Do you still like me?
Well I hope you do
Cause if you still like me
Then I think I'm gonna have to still like you
We shared our things
And had some fun
Now we'll say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done
Yeah, we'll say goodbye
And go back home while
We still have one
Let's say goodbye and go back home
Now the day is done
Well I hope you do
Cause if you like me
Then I think I'm gonna to have to like you too
And have some fun
Then we'll say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done
I'll tell you too
And we'll say the things
And do the things that lovers do
We won't hurt no one
Then we'll say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done
On a tree
Then we'll burn it down
So no one in the world will see
While we watch the flame
Then we'll walk away
As if we never had no shame
To be alone
And we can't say
Our sweet things on the telephone
What we've begun
We should say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done
Well I hope you do
Cause if you still like me
Then I think I'm gonna have to still like you
And had some fun
Now we'll say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done
And go back home while
We still have one
Let's say goodbye and go back home
Now the day is done

This is such a sweet song, but on viewing the lyrics, I really think it's about two people who are both married to someone else, having an illicit affair.
This is a great, simple song. Nostalgia. It's about first love but it's almost about puppy love in the first verse. Remember passing notes in class to a cute girl? "Do you like me? Yes or No" and anxiously waiting for the note's return?
Those were the times, friends. Before the world corrupted us.
John Prine's "Day's Done" is NOT the same song as "Day is Done" by Peter Yarrow.
