Barry White, he woke me out of my sleep

I live alone, so why's the shower running?

My mind is groggy, my memory's foggy

The smell of incense lingers in the bedroom

I can't believe it's already past noon
The day has passed quickly, and it's already afternoon.
On my arm there's a strange new tattoo

Shirt on the fan blade, pants on the lampshade
Clothing scattered in unusual places, indicating a wild or memorable night.
You get the picture, clear as a bell

You get the picture, just hang it on your bedroom wall

-Piece by piece, it's coming back to me
Memories gradually return, revealing the night's events.
I met my buddies after work

You get the picture, clear as a bell

Fireworks when I kissed her

Standing there, the woman of my dreams
