song list next song Van Halen: Letter S Van Halen: Balance Take Me Back (Deja Vu)
(...)
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

Well, my baby, she don't want me around.
She said she's tired of watchin' me fall down.
She wants the good life, only the best.
But I like that bottle better than the rest.

And she said:  I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
If you take your whiskey...

Well, that liquor in the nighttime leaves strange memories.
Seems a lifetime since yesterday.
Come the daybreak, come the morrow,
that woman's waited up all night for me again.

She said:  Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Yeah, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Yeah, you know that you're headed for a lot of trouble.
If you take your whiskey home.

Some goes to women, some goes to Jesus,
though I'm absolutely certain both's all right.
But it takes me at least halfway to the label
'fore I can even make it through the night.

Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Yeah, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble.
Yeah, you know that you're headed for a lot of trouble.
If you take your whiskey home.

Some friends of mine, just the other night
Went to hear this cool cat blow
They said he sang so good that the roof fell in
And he didn't even stop the show

They don't remember the place,
But they remember the face,
And now everybody wanna go. Woo!

Top Jimmy cooks!
Top Jimmy swings!
He's got the look! Woo!
Top Jimmy, he's the king!

Jimmy on the television
Famous people on there with him
Jimmy on the news at five!
Jimmy on the radio and even on the video
The baddest cat alive!

Drivin' all the women crazy
All they want is Jimmy baby
Love it when he rolls his eyes!

Top Jimmy cooks!
Top Jimmy swings!
He's got the look!
Top Jimmy, Ooh Jimmy Baby!

Hey, baby. Woo!

I know you believe in me
That's all I ever need. Uh-huh
No no, nothin's gonna stop it
Nothin' will discourage me. Oh, no

Hey baby, uh-it's the only way out
Oh, little darlin', now come on
What's it all about?

Standin' on top of the world
For a little while
Standin' on top of the world
Gonna give it all we got

I got to have a little taste
I just wanna sink my teeth in that
Fine piece o' real estate. Yeah

Hey baby, woo! Make it nice 'n sweet. Ooh!

Someday, we'll be standin' on top of the world
For a little while
Standin' on top of the world

Standin' on top of the world
For a little while
Standin' on top of the world
Gonna give it all we got

(Standin' on top) Hey baby
