When It's Love
Van Halen
~~*~~
Everybody's lookin' for somethin'
Somethin' to fill in the holes
We think a lot but don't talk much about it
Till things get out of control
How do I know when it's love?
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when it's love?
It's just somethin' you feel together
When it's love
You look at every face in a crowd
Some shine and some keep you guessin'
Waitin' for someone to come into focus
Teach you your final love lesson
How do I know when it's love?
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when it's love?
It's just somethin' you feel together
Oh, when it's love
You can feel it, yeah
Nothin's missin', yeah
Yeah, you can feel it
Oh, when it's love
When nothin's missin'
How do I know when it's love?
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when it's love?
It's just somethin' you feel together
How do I know when it's love?
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
When it's love
When it's love
Hey, it'll last forever
When it's love ...
You and I
We're gonna feel this thing together
When it's love
When it's love, baby
You can feel it, yeah!
We'll make it last forever
When it's love

I never understood the folks that took sides:
you were either for David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar,
but you couldn't be for both.
It's churlish and breathtakingly immature.
I thought the particular hosers who engaged in such
tribal stupidity were one-offs and relatively rare.
And then the Internet came along and proved me vastly wrong.
I believe this gem belongs under the category
of "power ballad."
I don't know.
I don't think it actually matters.
There is an uplift to this song,
one distinctly Beatles-like in its innocence
and lyrics.
I very much appreciate that.
I've never been a huge, huge Van Halen fan,
but I can say they produced some fantastic music,
more of which will appear on this playlist.
I love Diamond Dave and Sammy.
Deal with it, hosers.
