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 shootin' pool And I heard the sound of acapella groups, yeah Singin' 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
