5150 Lyrics
Van Halen
The love in me is never straight and narrow
Unless the love is tried and true
You take a chance with new beginnings
Still we try, win or lose, take the highs
With the blues
Chorus:
Always one more, you're never satisfied
Never one for all, only one for me
So why draw the line, meet you half the way
If you don't know what that means
I feel like running politician
Just trying to please all thetime
I give you my share with no conditions
Going wide, running long, feeling lost
But not for a long
Chorus
Solo

Chorus:
Always one more, you're never satisfied
Never one for all, only one for me
So why draw the line, meet you half the way
If you don't know what that means
I feel like running politician
Just trying to please all thetime
I give you my share with no conditions
Going wide, running long, feeling lost
But not for a long
Chorus
