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.
Out of the shadows and in to the sun
Didn't think it could happen to me
Never thought I'd be a fool in love
Ah girl you've been changing me
[Chorus:]
You made me lose my heart
You made me lose my heart
You made me lose my heart
But did you lose your heart to me...
Now I wouldn't ask you to sacrifice
The way that you live your life
All that I'd ask is you give your heart
Ah girl I've given mine
[Chorus:]
You made me lose my heart
You made me lose my heart
But the thing that I've got to know is
Did you lose your heart to me ?
Now friends and lovers have said it's true
There's always one think that loves more
So I want to know do I wait for you
Or is it me that your waiting for
[Chorus:]
Didn't think it could happen to me
Never thought I'd be a fool in love
Ah girl you've been changing me
[Chorus:]
You made me lose my heart
You made me lose my heart
You made me lose my heart
But did you lose your heart to me...
Now I wouldn't ask you to sacrifice
The way that you live your life
All that I'd ask is you give your heart
Ah girl I've given mine
[Chorus:]
You made me lose my heart
You made me lose my heart
But the thing that I've got to know is
Did you lose your heart to me ?
Now friends and lovers have said it's true
There's always one think that loves more
So I want to know do I wait for you
Or is it me that your waiting for
[Chorus:]
