Eddie Van Halen

"Oh wow, man!"
"Wait a second man. Whaddaya think the teacher's
gonna look like this year?"
"My butt, man!"
T-T-Teacher stop that screaming, teacher don't you see?
Don't wanna be no uptown fool
Maybe I should go to hell, but I'm doin' well
teacher needs to see me after school

*I think of all the education that I missed
But then my homework was never quite like this
Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher

"Hey, I heard you missed us, we're back!"
"I brought my pencil"
"Gimme something to write on, man"
I heard about your lessons, but lessons are so cold
I know about this school
Little girl from cherry lane, how did you get so bold?
How did you know that golden rule?

* Repeat

"Oh man, I think the clock is slow"
"I don't feel tardy"
"Class dismissed"

Without You

Hey you, wake up, get yourself together
yeah you, so you think you made it better
'cause you know it's coming at you
While your back is turned
Look too long and I can't help you
So clear your head, find a way home
Better make up your mind
First you say that you will
Then you say you won't
Well I'm just trying to figure
Try and figure you out

How long can this go on
Tell me what is wrong
And maybe there's a way
That we can work it out

There must be some kind of way
That we can make it right
But I, I just can't do it all
Without you, without you

Hey fool, wise up, better late than never
Yeah you, you know that nothing lasts forever
Nobody ever told you that your
Time is running out
Too bad and I can't help you

How long can this go on
Tell me what is wrong
And maybe there's a way
That we can work it out

There must be some kind of way
That we can make it right
But I, I just can't do it all
Without you, without you

The point i'm trying to make
You got to give more than you take
You gotta give, give more than you take
Gotta, gotta, gotta work it out

If I cannot see you from afar
Look into your eyes, that hint of depth
Hidden inside

If I cannot hear you from afar
Whisper in my ear, rest assured that
You are near

And I know not what it's like
The aforementioned
For the distance between us
As are the stars, I only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
Just to love you
From afar

If I cannot kiss you from afar
Press against your lips, taste the sweetness
Of your breath

If I cannot touch you from afar
Hold you in my arms, keep you warm and
Safe from harm

Though our circumstances
Cause separation
In the absence, there's a presence in my heart
I will surrender, I'll surrender to my
Quiet contemplation
My quiet contemplation
I'll just, I'll just love you
From afar

There must be a better way (ooo-oooh)
A better way (ooo-oooh) of, of passing the time
I can't seem to get her out
Out of my
Get her out of my mind

(Guitar Solo)

I don't know what it's like
The aforementioned
For the distance between us
As are the stars, I only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination

Just to love you
Just to love you
Just to love you
Yeah!

No candidate would I support
His platform could I endorse
Another accomplice slinging dirt
Campaign promises falling short
I don't belong to any race
Pledge allegiance to a place
No borderline in the sand I'd trace
I'm just a sucker for a pretty face

Uncomfortable in the realm of the political
Position's always been a little left of cynical
I'm fundamentally for the individual
Preoccupied purely with the physical

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a hound dog chasing a bird
Sometimes a certain tom's gotta peep
I'm a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

I don't wanna find religion
Or another man's opinion
I Can't choose what's not my decision
When there's only one under the sun
There's no need to be denied
Chew before swallowing pride
I want to live so let me die
Oh by the way, what's your sign?

Can't comprehend the meaning of the metaphysical
I'd rather leave that to your so-called intellectual
But what I do know I know feels only natural
I'm just a red-blooded heterosexual

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a dirty water doggin' a bird
Sometimes a certain tom's he gotta peep
I'm a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

(Guitar Solo)

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a dirty water doggin' a bird
Sometimes a certain tom's he gotta peep
I'm a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, like a hound dog, chasin' a bird

And I think I like
A dirty water dog
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

Al, do you want a click on this one?
I don't need no stinkin' click!
Two, three, four

Some say money is bad for the soul
Bad for the rock, bad for the roll
Bad for the heart, bad for the brain
Bad for damn near everything, oh yeah!

Oh. Hey, it must be good for somethin'
Come on, pay the rent
(Yes)

Telephone, telefax, telefuckin' teletrash
Tell a cop, tell a friend, think we hit the stoney end
Nothin' left, nothin' right, now they want a bigger bite
Everybody wants some, everybody wants big money. Oh yeah!
They want big fat money
That's what I want, big fat money

Too much temptation, 'nuff to kill a generation
Space station, starvation, premature ejaculation
This ain't groovy, this ain't funky
It's on my back but it ain't my monkey, no! Oh yeah
Gimme some o' that big, big money
That's what I want, big fat money. Yo!
Big, big money!

(Guitar Solo)

Ow! Smoke this, eat that, my old lady's gettin' fat
High rise, high rent, before it's earned it's all been spent
Where's it gonna come from? Who's it gonna go to?
I ain't beatin', but I'm bein' eaten by money. Oh yeah
Big big money. Woo!
Now gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme!
Some o' that big money. Oh yeah
That's what I want

Well all right (Big Money) Oh, big big money (Big Money)
Now gimme, gimme, gimme (Big money) some o' that big money (Money). Woo!
That's what I want
It's all I need
Gimme big fat money
Yeah, I gotta wallet full
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme!
Grab me some a-that big fat money

I thought I saw you from a distance
I swore I'd found you once again
Touched on that feelin' for an instant
Could not recall just where or when
Oh, no

Some desert island off Morocco
We had a love so hard to find
Oh, so full of life, so free and easy
Another place, another time, oh!

Take me back
I wanna be there with you
It happened just like that, yeah!
Slip in a dream or two
Come on, take me back
Oh, deja vu

One soul, one mind
One light that shines
One love so fine
Oh, come on and take me back

Some call it fate, some superstition
Some call it luck, it's all the same
Oh, just one of the mysteries of creation
Somethin' you feel but can't explain, oh!

Take me back
I wanna be there with you
It happens just like that, baby
I've fallen deep into
Oh!

(Guitar Solo)

Oh girl, do it, come on
Oh do it, take me there
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

Come on, take me back, baby
'Cuz I swear I've been there with you
It happened just like that, wow!
Send me a dream or two
Oh, come on, take me back
Oh, deja vu
