He later became the lead singer in a band called 35 Incorporated and learned to play the drums under the guidance of, then drummer, Joseph Hill. When Hill left the band, Washington filled the slot, and became a singing drummer.

Glen Washington Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you turned and you walked through that door
It hurts me sore, now
I said it hurts me sore, my darling
When you looked at me and you said, goodbye
You made me cry
I said you made me cry, my darling
So listen to me, what I say to you
Breaking up is hard to do, everybody knows
Breaking up is hard to do
And saying, if you've ever been in love
Then you'll realize just what I'm talking about
Breaking up is so very hard to do
It's hard to do
I cannot let you go now
'Cause my love is so strong
My love is so, strong
I said my love is so, so strong
And if you leave I will surely cry
Breaking up is hard to do
