VAN HALEN lyrics - Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do)

It's ok, I'll do what I want if I choose

I can take the fall, there's a choice

It's my destiny in my hands

Yeah, it's up to me

I can drive

I can shoot a gun in the streets

Score me some heroin

I can jump, be the sacrifice

Bear the cross just like Jesus Christ



And I don't wanna hear what love can do

No, I ain't gonna tell you what's right for you



Is it right, to take the easy way?

Close your eyes, get on your knees and pray

Now you're saved, by a higher voice

Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up your choice



If I'm wrong, then I'll pay for it

If I'm right, yeah you're gonna hear about it

But I'll try, yeah I'll try for it

I'll try and I'll try, 'til I'm satisfied



And I, I'm tired o' hearin' what love can do

And I, ain't gonna tell you what's right for you



I've seen the damage done

Yeah, I heard the shotgun

And felt the settin' sun on my kingdom come

Ohhh!



(Guitar Solo)



Is it right, uh, to take the easy way?

I don't know, I get down on my knees and pray

Now I'm saved, by a higher voice

Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up my choice



If I'm wrong, hey! Then I'll pay for it

If I'm right, yeah, you're gonna deal with it

'Cause I'll try, yeah I'll try for it

I'll try and I'll cry, even die for it



No, I don't wana hear what love can do

No, I, I can't tell you what's right for you

Oh, I, I, I tell you what love can do

No, I, I, I can't say when your time is through



I've seen the damage done

Oh Lord, I heard the shotgun

I felt the settin' sun on my kingdom come

Nooo!



(Guitar Solo)



Yeah! A-hey, hey, hey!



Don't tell me what love can do, uh

Hey hey hey! Uh!

Hey hey hey hey!

Don't tell me what love can do, alright

Hey hey hey!

What love can do

Hey hey hey!
