01. Good Enough

Music & lyrics by Edward Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Alex Van Halen
U.S. prime, grade A stamped guaranteed
Just grease it up and bring on the heat
Throw it down and roll it over once or twice
Then chow down

She's good enough, good enough to huh!
I can't get enough, I can't get enough
She's good enough to huh!

Hey me yea I been working up an appetite
Seems like the harder I work the more my body needs
I like to open up with a little six on the half shell
Then it's 3-6-9 time

She's good enough, good enough to huh!
I can't get enough, I can't get enough
She's good enough to huh!

Hey waitress you got any specials here tonight
Me and the fellas might be interested in
Rack a what
Well I'll have some of that

I'll be the first to say that I'm blind to the world
Cause I'm two days gone and I just can't see
But I ain't no fool and honey I know a good thing
And she's comin' she's comin'
So come on, come on, come on cause she's
Good, good, good enough
Good, good, good enough
Good, good, good enough
Good, good, good enough ohhh!

02. Why Can't This Be Love

Music & lyrics by Edward Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Alex Van Halen
Oh here it comes again
That funny feelin again winding me up inside
Every time we touch
Hey I don't know
Just tell me where to begin cause I never ever
Felt so much

No I can't recall any love at all
Baby this blows 'em all away

It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love
Straight from the heart oh tell me why
Can't this be love

I tell myself
Hey only fools rush in an only time will tell
If we stand the test of time
All I know
You've got to run to win an I'll be damned if
I'll get hung up on the line

No I can't recall any love at all
Baby this blows 'em all away

It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love
Straight from the heart oh tell me why
Can't this be love

It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love
Straight from the heart oh tell me why
Can't this be love
Tell me why can't this be love
Baby why can't this be love
Got to know why can't this be love
I wanna know why can't this be love

03. Get Up

Music & lyrics by Edward Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Alex Van Halen
Feel like throwing in the towel don't be a fool
They're out to knock you out, put you down
For the count
Watch the left, watch the right, below
The belt

They'll run you round and round it's plain to see
It's never gonna stop they'll run ya till you drop
There ain't no power around can keep a good man down
There's still some fight in me
That's how it'll always be
Hold your head up high, look 'em in the eye, never say die
Get up and make it work

You say that love has got you down well that's bull
If love has got you down then love can pick you right back up
There ain't no power around can keep a good man down
Walking down a dead end street
No mercy at your feet
They're holding all the cards, making things so hard, before it goes too far
Get up and make it work
Get up and make it work

Feel like throwing in the towel don't be a fool
They're out to knock you out, put you down
For the count
Watch the left, watch the right, below
The belt

There's still some fight in me
That's how it'll always be,
Hold your head up high, look 'em in the eye, never say die
Get up and make it work

Get up and make it work
Get up and make it work
Get up and make it work
Get up and make it work

04. Dreams

Music & lyrics by Edward Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Alex Van Halen
World turns black an 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

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

We'll get higher and higher straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher leave it all behind

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

We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
Higher and higher leave it all behind
Higher and higher who knows what we'll find

And in the end on dreams we will depend
Cause that's what love is made of

05. Summer Nights

Music & lyrics by Edward Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Alex Van Halen
Ain't no way I'm stayin' home tonight
I'll be out until the mornin' light
Just hangin' 'round the local parking lot
Checkin' out the girls see what they got

Yea they love it when me and the boys
Start playin' love with them human toys
Yea we just wind 'em up and let 'em go, oh yea

Summer nights and my radio
That's all we need baby don't cha know
We celebrate when the the gang's all here
Hot summer nights that's my time of the year

We made it through the cold
This freezin' snow is gettin' really old
Next year I'll head out for the coast
Say boys I think that might just call for a toast, yea

I got a line, you got a pole
I'll meet you down at the ole fishing hole
Yea them girls are biting good tonight
Oh yea, uh oh, oh yea

Summer nights and my radio
That's all we need baby don't cha know
We celebrate when the the gang's all here
Hot summer nights that's my time of the year

06. Best Of Both Worlds

Music & lyrics by Edward Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Alex Van Halen
I don't know what I been livin' on but it's
Not enough to fill me up
I need more than just words can say
I need everything this life can give me

Come on baby close your eyes let go
This can be everything we've dreamed
It's not work, that makes it work no
Let the magic do the work for you

Cause something reached out and touched me
Now I see that all I want...

I want the best of both worlds
And baby I know what it's worth
We can have the best of both worlds a little
Heaven right here on earth

There's a picture in the gallery of a
Fallen angel looked alot like you
We forget where we come from sometimes
I had a dream it was really you

Cause something reached out and touched me
Now I see that all I want...

I want the best of both worlds
And baby I know what it's worth
We can have the best of both worlds a little
Heaven right here on earth

You don't have to die to go to heaven
Or hang around to be born again
Just tune into what this place has got to offer
Cause we may never be here again

I want the best of both worlds
And baby I know what it's worth
We can have the best of both worlds a little
Heaven right here on earth

07. Love Walks In

Music & lyrics by Edward Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Alex Van Halen
Contact is all it takes
To change your life to lose your place in time
Contact! Asleep or awake
Coming around you may wake up to find
Questions deep within your eyes,
Things you've never realized

So when you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange, love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Then simply pulls a string

Another world, some other time
You lay your sanity on the line
Familiar faces familiar sights
Reach back remember with all your might
Ohh there she stands in a silken gown
Silver lights shining down

So when you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange, love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Then simply pulls a string, love comes walkin' in

Sleep and dream is all I crave
I travel far across the milky way
To my master I become a slave
Til we meet again some other day
Where silence speaks as loud as war
And the earth returns to what it was before

So when you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange, love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Then simply pulls a string, love comes walkin' in

08. "5150"

Music & lyrics by Edward Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Alex Van Halen
The love in me is never straight and narrow
Unless the love is tried and true
You take a chance with new beginnings
Still we try, win or lose, take the highs
With the blues

Always one more, you're never satisfied
Never one for all, only one for me
So why draw the line, meet you half the way
If you don't know what that means

I feel like a running politician
Just tryin to please you all the time
I give you my share with no conditions
Going wide, running long, feelin' lost
But not for long

Always one more, you're never satisfied
Never one for all, only one for me
So why draw the line, meet you half the way
If you don't know what that means

Always one more, you're never satisfied
Never one for all, only one for me
So why draw the line, meet you half the way
If you don't know what that means

09. Inside

Music & lyrics by Edward Van Halen, Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Alex Van Halen
It's not what you are
It's how you dress
That's one thing I've learned from these guys
I must confess
Now me, look, I got this job not just being myself
Huh uhh
I went out and bought some brand new shoes
Now I walk like someone else
Maybe I'm crazy or just too high
But all this can't be worth my
Piece of the pie
Sittin 'round just gettin' high
Temporarily pacified
I guess less is more
Something special, something new
Some brand new group to sink my teeth into
Sitting 'round just getting high
Temporarily pacified

That's what's going down on the inside
Don't let this get around to the outside

This ain't no party, this ain't no show!
So don't be tryin' to put no mo jo on my butt, anyway

That's what's going down on the inside
Don't let this get around to the outside

That's what's going down on the inside
Don't let this get around to the outside

That's what's going down on the inside
Don't let this get around to the outside

That's what's going down on the inside
Don't let this get around to the outside
