First thing I remember, I was lying in my bed
Couldn't have been no more than one or two

And I remember there was a radio
Coming from the room next door
And my mother laughed the way some ladies do

Well it's late in the evening
And the music's seeping through

And the next thing I remember
I am walking down the street
I'm feeling all right
I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops, yeah

And down along the avenue some guys are shootin' pool
And I heard the sound of acapella grooves, yeah

Singin' late in the evening
And all the girls out on the stoops, yeah

When I learned to play some lead guitar
I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside and smoked myself a J
When I come back to the room
Everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play

And it was late in the evening
And I blew that room away

The 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 I've been on the floor
But I never loved no one the way that I love you
I love you
And it was late in the evening
And all the music seeping through

First thing I remember, I was lying in my bed
Couldn't have been no more than one or two

And I remember there was a radio (There was)
Coming from the room next door
And my mother laughed the way some ladies do (You know)

Well it's late in the evening
And the music's seeping through
