[Verse 1: David Lee Roth]
My heart, you're breakin' my heart
Girl, you better start
Thinkin' somethin' real
Seems like lovin' you is just a crazy dream
But do as you feel

[Chorus: David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen & Michael Anthony]
All these crazy women
One more crazy night
But one night's all we're given
So, baby, leave me alone
Or, baby, stay the night
(Oh, women in love)
Oh baby, make up your mind
(Make up your mind)
I know you're in love
(Oh, women in love)
So, baby, make up your mind
(Women in love)

[Verse 2: David Lee Roth]
Scream, go on and scream
That your love is all you're knowin'
But, honey, if you're needin' a woman
Just as bad as me, you oughta be goin'

[Chorus: David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen & Michael Anthony]
All these crazy women
One more crazy night
But one night's all we're given
So, honey, leave me alone
Or, baby, you're stayin' the night

But one night's all we're given

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
