The lyrics are posted below:

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

Girl, 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!

  • @riolobo67 You have to give DLR credit, though. Two of his VH albums sold over 10 million copies. Twice as many as any of Sammy's. The only reason that "1984" didn't go to number 1 was because of Michael Jackson and a little album he made called "Thriller".

  • This is one of the most epic guitar intros...

  • @LordOfGreatness Finally someone who has good taste in singers.

  • Sammy has so much talent.Awesome singer and songwriter.

  • Sammy Hagar is the best vocals for Van Halen, Dave sucks donkey penis in my opinion.

  • why everytime I see Hagar he is with his mouth wiiiide open?

  • @bernhardtsen74 INDEED!!!!!! That's why all 4 VH albums with Hagar slammed into NUMBER ONE on the BILLBOARD TOP 200! ++ SOLD OUT TOURS!!! Couldn't agree more so I'll just repeat what U said: "Sammy really brings the SOUL into Van Halen songs!" AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • I don't like sammy hagar

  • david only jumps and squeals but Sammy really brings the soul into Van Halen songs!

  • ALEX + MIKE + EDDIE + SAMMY = THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!
