In the afternoon On the porch in the wicker chair I'm listening again, To your life story There's nothing you can say, To make me go away 'Cause I don't believe you In the afternoon You try to put your hands up And I put mine to shush you quiet That argument won't stand up I'm so convinced so otherwise I'm deaf but not blind, And what you did does not matter 'Cause you're so easy to find And it's so easy to flatter you In the afternoon On the porch in the wicker chair If you're really so shy, love Something blocks me from knowing The sunshine gives you a halo Your gold slip is showing I'm deaf but not blind What you did doesn't matter You're so easy to find And it's so easy to flatter you In the afternoon On the porch in the wicker chair In the afternoon On the porch in the wicker chair I'm listening again To your life story There's nothing you can say To make me go away 'Cause I don't believe you In the afternoon In the afternoon In the afternoon
