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
