[Verse 1]
The love line is never straight and narrow
Unless your love is tried and true
We take a chance with new beginnings
Still we try, win or lose
Take the highs with the blues

[Chorus]
Always one more, you're never satisfied
Instead of 'one for all' with you, it's only 'one for me'
Oh, when I draw the line and meet you half the way
But you don't know what that means

I feel like running politician
Just trying to please you all the time
I'm giving you my share with no conditions
Going wide, running long
Feeling lost but not for long

[Chorus]
Always one more, you're never satisfied
Instead of 'one for all' with you, it's only 'one for me'
Oh, when I draw the line and meet you half the way
But you don't know what that means

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Always one more, you're never satisfied
Instead of 'one for all' with you, it's only 'one for me'
Oh, when I draw the line and meet you half the way
But you don't know what that means

Van Halen

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
