Aint Talking Bout Love | Van Halen

The Van Halen song Ain’t Talkin bout Love is from their 1978 debut album eponymous. The song was written by Eddie Van Halen a year before it was released. The reason for the delay was becuase he did not consider it good enough to show his bandmates. Ain’t Talkin bout Love is one of the few David Lee Roth-era songs that featured Sammy Hagar. The song has been played for many years at the New England Patriots Gillette Stadium whenever the team is able to force an interception or recover a fumble.

Below is the text version of the lyrics for the Van Halen song
Aint Talking Bout Love.

I heard the news baby
All about your disease
Yeah, you may have all you want baby
But I got somethin’ you need, oh yeah

Ain’t talkin’ ’bout love
My love is rotten to the core
Ain’t talkin’ ’bout love
Just like I told you before, yeah before

You know you’re semi-good lookin’
And on the streets again
Oh yeah, you think you’re really cookin’ baby
You better find yourself a friend, my friend

Ain’t talkin’ ’bout love
My love is rotten to the core
Ain’t gonna talk about love
Just like I told you before, before
Before, before, before

Ain’t talkin’ ’bout love
Babe, it’s rotten to the core
Ain’t talkin’ bout love
Just like I told you before, before

I been to the edge
And there I stood and looked down
You know I lost a lot of friends there baby
I got no time to mess around

So if you want it, got to bleed for it baby
Yeah, got to, got to bleed, baby
You got to, got to bleed, baby
Hey, got to, got to bleed baby

Ain’t talkin’ ’bout love
My love is rotten to the core
Ain’t talkin’ ’bout love
Just like I told you before, before, before

Ain’t talkin’ ’bout love
Don’t wanna talk about love
Don’t need to talk about love
Ain’t gonna talk about love
No more, no more

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
