The first thing I remember, I was lying in my bed
I couldn't been no more than one or two
And I remember there's a radio, coming from the room next door
My mother laughed the way some ladies do
Well it's late in the evening, and the music's seeping through
The next thing I remember, I am walking down a street
I'm feeling alright I'm with my boys and with my troops, yeah
And down along the avenue some guys were shooting pool
And I heard the sound of acapella groups, yeah
Singing late in the evening, and all the girls out on the stoops, yeah
Then I learned to play some lead guitar, I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a J
And when I come back to the room, everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play
It was late in the evening, and I blew that room away
First thing I remember when you came into my life
I said, I'm gonna get that girl, no matter what I do
Well I guess I've been in love before once or twice have been on the floor
But I've never loved no-one the way that I love you
And it was late in the evening, and all the music's seeping through
