First thing I remember, I was lying in my bed
Couldn't've been no more than one or two
And I remember there's a radio comin' from the room next door
And my mother laughed the way some ladies do
When it's late in the evening
And the music's seeping through
The next thing I remember, I am walking down the street
I'm feeling alright, I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops, yeah
And down along the avenue, some guys were shootin' pool
And I heard the sound of a cappella 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 came back to the room and everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and began to play
And 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'd been in love before and once or twice I'd been on the floor
But I never loved no one the way I loved you
And it was late in the evening
And all the music seeping through
