outta touch most the time
gotta lotta things on my mind
kickin' down, where to start
it's the hardest thing, oh.....
grow it long, shave it off
life is hard, never soft
I need a change, I need it quick
before it makes me sick
that's what's on my mind
pay attention, watch your back
pay your dues, stay on track
got no room to second guess
puts me under stress, oh.....
if I were you, you were me
I wonder who I'd wanna be
with just one wish you can't refuse
I wouldn't know what to choose
feelin'....no, don't like what I've been told I'm feelin'
feelin' what no one else will ever know I'm feelin', oh....
now black is white and white is black
got politicians smokin' crack
and John Paul's all bullet-proofed
it puts me through the roof, yea....
I were you and you were me
I wonder who I'd rather be
if I had one wish I'd, take it
feelin'....no, don't like what I've been told I'm feelin'
and I'm seein' what no one else will ever know I'm seein'
come on, feelin' hey, I don't understand these things I'm feelin', no....
outta touch most the time
too many things on my mind
shuttin' down, gotta stop this thing
feelin'....no, I don't like what I've been told I'm feelin'
I'm bleedin'...like no one else will ever know I'm bleedin'
dealin'....I'm dealin' with these things I'm feelin'
I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin' things that show me what
I'm seein'
seein'... I'm seein' things that I don't know I'm feelin'
I've been feelin', I'm feelin', I'm feelin' things that I don't know
I don't know, In don't know what I'm seein'
hey, I don't understand

I'm a huge Van Halen fan, and, judging by the number of posts, one of the only ones to see what a great song this is. There's so much more emotion to it than most of their songs- some days, I just sit back and listen to this song, and it just speaks to me. I completely feel the line "outta touch most the time- got too many things on my mind." Great guitar work, great vocals, and I love the changes in tempo. When it first picks up, and Sammy screams "Yeah! Feelin'!"... oh man, blows me away...
I agree with you. The song is great. The album was great(to me) with song like Don't tell me, Can't stop lovin' you, Not enough, Feelin and Big fat money :) Some of the greatest Van Halen's lyrics and Eddie's riffs. Alex's drums are also great, i like his hi-hat work on Can't stop lovin' you. I wish they will come to Europe. I live in Bulgaria and i am HUGE fan of their music and i have never had na opportunity to see them on stage. I'm VH's fan for 24 years, now i'm 32 :)

I love this song, its one of my favorites off of balance, and Classic Rocker I agree with you, this song is amazing, just amazing
Yeah, I agree with what's been said, but I think the greatness of the solo is what truely sets this song apart. Since it wasn't in the Dave era it gets overlooked, but the middle double-timed section is killer stuff indeed.
Fantastic song. Probably Van Halen's best ever.
