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.
Girl I always think about it 24/7
Can't get it outta my mind
I was so bad to be with you
Baby, when I dream about it, it feels like heaven
Why you gotta be so fine
I want to so bad to be in you
I'm longing girl to tell you
'Bout the visions in my head
You never will be lonely
Long as roses are red
Girl, you should never worry
My intentions, they are true
The only thing that matters is you
'Cause I love you
And I want you
And I can't be without
I swear there's no doubt
That I need youI adore you
Every inch, every part
With every little bit of my heart
Baby, I can think of 'bout a million reasons
Why you gotta be with me
My lovin' flows like endlessly
Baby we can do about a zillion places
What's your fantasy
Just ask and girl, you shall receive
I want so much to tell you
Girl, you'll never hurt again
Long as London Bridge keeps falling
Girl, just know I got your back
Girl, there's just no rhyme, no reason
'Bout the way I feel 'bout you
The only thing that matters is you
'Cause I love you
And I want you
And I can't be without
I swear there's no doubt
That I need youI adore you
Every inch, every part
With every little bit of my heart
'Cause I fell in love the day, baby
You came into my life
I've never been in love before
Changing everything I think about
And I don't want nobody else to have you
'Cause I love you
And I want you
And I can't be without
I swear there's no doubt
That I need youI adore you
Every inch, every part
With every little bit of my heart
Can't get it outta my mind
I was so bad to be with you
Baby, when I dream about it, it feels like heaven
Why you gotta be so fine
I want to so bad to be in you
I'm longing girl to tell you
'Bout the visions in my head
You never will be lonely
Long as roses are red
Girl, you should never worry
My intentions, they are true
The only thing that matters is you
'Cause I love you
And I want you
And I can't be without
I swear there's no doubt
That I need youI adore you
Every inch, every part
With every little bit of my heart
Baby, I can think of 'bout a million reasons
Why you gotta be with me
My lovin' flows like endlessly
Baby we can do about a zillion places
What's your fantasy
Just ask and girl, you shall receive
I want so much to tell you
Girl, you'll never hurt again
Long as London Bridge keeps falling
Girl, just know I got your back
Girl, there's just no rhyme, no reason
'Bout the way I feel 'bout you
The only thing that matters is you
'Cause I love you
And I want you
And I can't be without
I swear there's no doubt
That I need youI adore you
Every inch, every part
With every little bit of my heart
'Cause I fell in love the day, baby
You came into my life
I've never been in love before
Changing everything I think about
And I don't want nobody else to have you
'Cause I love you
And I want you
And I can't be without
I swear there's no doubt
That I need youI adore you
Every inch, every part
With every little bit of my heart

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
