A little low on cash
But I'm high on luck
I wanna be your knight in shining pick-up truck

With a Chevy for my summer home
Let's get the party started
It's looking like the city towed my other apartment

She got a doorbell sign that said:
"Bring it or don't ring it."

She's the woman (Go on!)
She's the woman
She's the woman
She's the woman

Fate is my pimp
But she was cool
Said "If you're doin' business with me, honey
What does that make you?
Some Casablanca gin joint?"
You're a nervous wreck

Your I.Q. plummets fourteen points
Her thunder thong around your neck
The song ain't dirty
It's really just the way we sing it. (Sing it!)

She's the woman (Sing it!)
She's the woman
She's the woman
She's the woman

[solo]

She wanted something to regret
Tomorrow morning
This suburban garage-a-trois
Was worth exploring

Yeah dreams come true
But it remains to be seen
By the time mine usually do
It's no longer me!

She got a doorbell sign:
"you better bring it, or don't ring it."

She's the woman
She's the woman
She's the woman

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
