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.
And we can love
Check it out
Check it out
How can anybody ever learn to live how far
By only taking interest
When I give my love like legal tender
It?s the best that I?ve got to give
Talking tongues
Slightly south of somebody?s smile
Good love
And if you love one another
To feel, to feel that we are making love
Hells bells baby
To feel, to feel that we are making love
I need you darling
To feel that I can love
I need you darling
I need you darling
But you can baby
How can anybody ever learn to mend a broken man
With some champagne
And freehand for my last remarks
Remember baby, it?s not me you think you?re missing
But I guess I always love the hallway kissing
And talking tongues
Slightly south of somebody?s smile
Good love
Whether to love one another
To feel, to feel that we are making love
Hells bells baby
To feel, to feel that we are making love
I need you darling
To feel that I can love
I need you darling
I need you darling
But you can baby
When I first saw your face
With a million more out of place
When I first saw your face
I forgave my love
Become with elation
What you say Marti
Become with elation
And I play the dirty game of bright life
But you couldn?t love enough
To feel, to feel that we are making love
Hells bells baby
To feel, to feel that we are making love
I need you darling
To feel that I can love
I need you darling
To feel that I can love
Hells bells baby
Hells bells baby
Hells bells baby
Hells bells baby
To feel, to feel that we are making love
Don?t gonna get her, don?t gonna get her
Don?t gonna get her, don?t gonna get her
I need you darling
Check it out
Check it out
How can anybody ever learn to live how far

When I give my love like legal tender
It?s the best that I?ve got to give
Talking tongues

Good love

To feel, to feel that we are making love
Hells bells baby
To feel, to feel that we are making love
I need you darling

Hells bells baby
Hells bells baby
Hells bells baby
To feel, to feel that we are making love
Don?t gonna get her, don?t gonna get her
Don?t gonna get her, don?t gonna get her
I need you darling
