[Guitar Intro]

[Verse 1]
I heard the news baby
All about your disease
Don't you have what you want baby?
Well I got somethin' you need

[Chorus]
(Ain't talkin' 'bout love)
My love is rotten to the core
(Ain't talkin' 'bout love)
I told you before, now

[Verse 2]
You know you're semi-good lookin'
On the streets again
Bet you think you're really cookin' baby
Better find yourself a friend, my friend

[Chorus]
(Ain't talkin' 'bout love)
Take the pictures of the audience!
(Ain't gonna talk about love)
I told you before, now

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
(Ain't talkin' 'bout love)
Talkin' 'bout love, now
(Ain't talkin' 'bout love)
I told you before, yeah

[Bridge]
Yeah, good [?]
Feelin' good over there?
I been to the edge
I stood and looked down
I lost a lot of friends, there, baby
I got no time to mess around
I got no time to mess around
No time
I got no time to...
I got no time to mess around
Did everybody have a good time, tonight?
Whoo!
On behalf of the band:
Edward Van Halen, on lead guitar
Give it away, give it away, give it away (Thank you!)
Wolfgang Van Halen, on the bass electric
Alex Van Halen, on heavy artillery
(And David Lee Roth)
I think we know each other, by now
I think we can...
I think we can share a few secrets, right now
This isn't going on the internet, is it?
Ooh!
Ow!
You want it...
(laughs) Here I go...
So if you want it, got to bleed for it!
Bleed for it, baby!
Bleed for it, mama
Bleed for it, baby!
Yeah!

[Chorus]
(Ain't talkin' 'bout love)
(Ain't talkin' 'bout love)
(Ain't talkin' 'bout love)
(Ain't talkin' 'bout love)
(Ain't talkin' 'bout love)
(Ain't talkin' 'bout love)
No! No! No! No!

[Guitar Solo]
Whoo-hoo!

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
