The first thing I remember
I was lying in my bed
It couldn't have been no more
than one or two
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 all right
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
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
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
And once or twice
I been on the floor
But I never loved no one
The way I loved you
It was late in the evening
And all the music seeping through
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
And once or twice
I been on the floor
But I never loved no one
The way I loved you
It was late in the evening
And all the music seeping through
