Vol. 1-best Of Van Halen

[instrumental]

Jump back, what's that sound ?
Here she comes, full blast and top down.
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue.
Model citizen zero discipline
Don't you know she's coming home with me?
You'l lose her in the turn.
I'll get her!
Panama, panama
Panama, panama
Ain't nothin' like it, her shiny machine.
Got the feel for the wheel, keep the moving parts clean.
Hot shoe, burnin' down the avenue,
Got an on-ramp comin' through my bedroom.
Don't you know she's coming home with me?
You'll lose her in the turn.
I'll get her!
Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight.
I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off of it.
Ah, you reach down, between my legs,
Ease the seat back.
She's blinding, i'm flying,
Right behind the rear-view mirror now.
Got the feeling, power steering,
Pistons popping, ain't no stopping now!
Panama, panama
Panama, panama

Don't wanna wait til tomorrow,
Why put it off another day?
One more walk through problems,
Built up, and stand in our way ,ah
One step ahead, one step behind me
Now you gotta run to get even
Make future plans, don't dream about yesterday, hey
C'mon turn, turn this thing around
Right now, hey
It's your tomorrow
Right now,
C'mon,it's everything
Right now,
Catch a magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
Miss the beat, you lose the rhythm,
And nothing falls into place, no
Only missed by a fraction,
Slipped a little off your pace, oh,
The more things you get, the more you want,
Just trade in one for the other,
Workin so hard, to make it easier, whoa,
Got to turn, c'mon turn this thing around
Right now, hey
It's your tomorrow
Right now,
C'mon, it's everything
Right now,
Catch that magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
It's enlightened me, right now
What are you waitin for
Oh, yeah, right now
(solo)
Right now, hey
It's your tomorrow
Right now,
C'mon, it's everything
Right now,
Catch that magic moment, and do it right,
Right now
Right now, oh, right now
It's what's happening?
Right here and now
Right now
It's right now
Oh,
Tell me, what are you waiting for
Turn this thing around

World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin down
Better change your tune
Reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby just spread your wings
Chorus:
We'll get higher and higher straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher leave it all behind
Run, run, run, away
Like a train runnin off the track
The truth gets left behind
And falls between the cracks
Standing on broken dreams
But never losing sight
Spread your wings
Chorus
So baby dry your eyes, save all the tears you've cried
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Oh baby we belong in a world that must be strong
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Solo
Chorus
Higher and higher who knows what we'll find
And in the end on dreams we will depend
Cause thats what love is made of

I heard the news baby, all about your disease
Yeah you may have all you want, baby, but i got somethin' you need
Oh yeah, ain't talkin' 'bout love
My love is rotten to the core
Ain't talkin' 'bout love

You know you're semi-good lookin', and on the streets again
Oh yeah you think you're really cookin' baby, you better find yourself a friend
My friend, ain't talkin' 'bout love
My love is rotten to the core

[repeat til outro]

There's a time and place for
Everything
For everyone
We can push with all our might
But nothin's gonna come
Oh no, nothin's gonna change
And if i asked you not to try
Oh could you let it be
I wanna hold you and say
We can't throw this all away
Tell me you won't go, you won't go
Do you have to hear me say
I can't stop lovin' you
And no matter what i say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I can't stop lovin' you
You can change your friends
Your place in life
You can change your mind
We can change the things we say
And do anytime
Oh no, but i think you'll find
That when you look inside your heart
Oh baby, i'll be there, yeah
Hold on
I'm holding on
Baby, just come on, come on, come on
I just wanna hear you say
I can't stop lovin' you
And no matter what you say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I can't stop lovin' you
Oh, i'm so twisted and tied
And all i remember
Was how hard we tried
Only to surrender
And when it's over i know how it's gonna be
And true love will never die
No, not fade away
And i can't stop lovin' you
No matter what i say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I can't stop lovin' you
And i know what i got to do
Hey ray, what you said is true
I can't stop lovin' you, oh
Oh, i can't stop lovin' you

Well, they say it's kinda fright'nin' how this younger generation swings.
You know, it's more than just some new sensation.
Well, the kid is into losin' sleep and he don't come home for half the week.
You know, it's more than just an aggravation.
And the cradle will rock.
Yes, the cradle will rock.
And i say, rock on!
Rock on!
And when some local kid gets down, they try and drum him out of town.
They say, "you coulda least faked it, boy."
At an early age he hits the street and winds up tied with who he meets,
And he's unemployed.
And the cradle will rock.
Yeah, the cradle will rock.
And i say, rock on!
Rock on!
Have you seen junior's grades?
And when some local kid gets down, they try and drum him out of town.
They say, "you coulda least faked it, boy."
At an early age he hits the street and winds up tied with who he meets,
And he's unemployed. his folks are overjoyed.
And the cradle will rock.
Yeah, the cradle will rock.
And i say, rock on!
Rock on!
Rock on!
Rock on!
