The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Yesterday , I was all alone
Nobody called on the telephone
Yeh I was down but...now things are changin'
I met a girl with a 45
Drive in sister, hunky dory eyes
Satellite of love
Infatuation
So put your suitcase in my car
Bring a pocket full of stars
I love you, for who you are
Eloise
You always say what I wanna hear
Speak the truth and it's loud and clear
Oh yeh you lifted me up from my desolation
I won't be lookin' the other way
At pretty things that may pass my way
I've straight ahead now with no complications
So put your suitcase in my car
Bring a pocket full of stars
I love you, for who you are
Eloise
Well I don't know what I'm doin' but I know that I ain't doin' without you
'Cause I know what I believe in and I know that I ain't leavin' without you
Eloise
So put your suitcase in my car
Bring a pockefull of stars
I love you for who you are
Eloise
Yeh put your suitcase in my car
Bring a pocket full of stars
I love you for who you are
Eloise
Now Eloise
Nobody called on the telephone
Yeh I was down but...now things are changin'
I met a girl with a 45
Drive in sister, hunky dory eyes
Satellite of love
Infatuation
So put your suitcase in my car
Bring a pocket full of stars
I love you, for who you are
Eloise
You always say what I wanna hear
Speak the truth and it's loud and clear
Oh yeh you lifted me up from my desolation
I won't be lookin' the other way
At pretty things that may pass my way
I've straight ahead now with no complications
So put your suitcase in my car
Bring a pocket full of stars
I love you, for who you are
Eloise
Well I don't know what I'm doin' but I know that I ain't doin' without you
'Cause I know what I believe in and I know that I ain't leavin' without you
Eloise
So put your suitcase in my car
Bring a pockefull of stars
I love you for who you are
Eloise
Yeh put your suitcase in my car
Bring a pocket full of stars
I love you for who you are
Eloise
Now Eloise
