Love in the afternoon   Love in the afternoon      He walked right up and told me   That he liked my style   I noticed something different   In the way he smiled      He said, "You're quite a lady   And I know a place that's shady   Would you care to come   And lie with me awhile?"      And deep in my soul   I could feel a quiver   When he went down   And found that sweet old river      And he showed me the way   To find love in the afternoon      I knew he was a stranger   But I didn't care   We had something in common   But it wasn't clear      He said that life's a lover   When you love and like no other   Don't you think it's time   For you to get your share?      And deep in my soul   I could feel a quiver   When he went down   And found that sweet old river      And he showed me the way   To find love in the afternoon      I never could remember   Or recall his name   But I hang on to that memory   Just the same      I know it makes me crazy   It makes my head all hazy   To think about the way   He played that game      'Cause deep in my soul   I could feel a quiver   When he went down   And found that sweet old river      And he showed me the way   To find love in the afternoon      Yes, deep in my soul   I could feel a quiver   When he went down   And found that sweet old river      And he showed me the way to find   Showed me and showed me   And showed me the way   To find love in the afternoon
