The Obvious Child Paul Simon

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep through the night
Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie
But I say why, why deny the obvious child?
Why deny the obvious child?

[Verse 2]
And in remembering a road sign
I am remembering a girl when I was young
And we said these songs are true, these days are ours
These tears are free and hey
The cross is in the ballpark
The cross is in the ballpark

[Chorus]
We had a lot of fun, had a lot of money
We had a little son and we thought we'd call him Sonny
Sonny gets married and moves away
Sonny has a baby and bills to pay
Sonny gets sunnier day by day by day by day

[Verse 3]
Well, I've been waking up at sunrise
I've been following the light across my room
I watch the night receive the room of my day
Some people say the sky is just the sky
But I say why deny the obvious child?
Why deny the obvious child?
