Analysis of Stevie B



Although those many years have passed
 Having every bit of reason to grasp
 The true message in his songs
 Seen him twice in Hartford, Ct
 That brother made a dent in my true memory as a young Gee
 Spring love made me fall in love
 Then it was in your eyes what a surprise
 Onto Diamond Girl that's when I smoked a lot of weed
 There was no one quite like the likes of Stevie B
 Many young girls had lost their virginity to his soft melody
 Mr. Post Man because I love you to name a few
 Back then the tunes to late night high school dances
 Caught up in trances with his smooth romances
 Man they don't make music like that anymore
 everything is vinyl now & tapes are out the door
 going to the beach with the roof top down on my car
 love was never so good when Stevie B was in the hood
 faces, spaces & traces
 beats blowing your mind
 I once could see but today's youth are blind
 to get your eighties groove on just leave it to the man
 In My Eyes did it come at any big surprise
 The music industry today is not the same everyone it seems is insane
 We need a blast from the past as Stevie B
 Let's see him make a good come back
 cause folks today are giving me a heart attack
 from the heart let us never depart until the end its just me & Stevie B
