(Words by Van Halen)

Ow! Forgive me father, for I have sinned

I've been through hell and back again

I shook hands with the devil

Looked 'im in the eye

Looked like a long lost friend

Ow-ah, anything you want, any dirty deeds

He's got everything 'cept what I really need

Keepin' me temporarily satisfied

But not one thing I've tried

Filled me up inside or felt like mine

Mine all mine

Yeah, the search goes on

The more I look, my world keeps gettin' smaller

Staring at the sun, searchin' for the light

Almost ended up blind Some only see what they wanna see

Claiming victory, oh but that's not me

Gimme truth, gimme somethin' real

I just wanna feel like it's mine all mine

(Ooh-ooo-ooh)

Ooh-oo-ooh, really mine

(Mine all mine)

Come on, 'n gimme somethin'

(Ooh-oo-ooh)

Somethin', that's mine all mine all mine

(Guitar Solo)

Mine all mine

All the words on the wall look the same in the mirror

Every riddle and every clue

Ow, you've got Allah in the east

You've got Jesus in the west

Christ, what's a man to do?

They'll find a cure for anything

Just kill the pain or numb my brain

We see a man speakin' the word of God

Provin' to be a fraud. his own church applauds

Stop lookin' out, start lookin' in

Be your own best friend

Stand up and say "Hey! This is mine!"

(Ooh-oo-ooh)

Ooh, all mine

(Mine all mine)

Yeah

'N baby you've got somethin'

(Ooh-oo-ooh)

Uh! An', and I got somethin'

(Mine all mine)

Hey, and it's mine all mine all mine

Uh!

(Mine all mine)

Ooooh!

(Mine all mine)

Yes, I'm searchin'

(Mine all mine)

Uh-I got to have it

(Mine all mine)

Oooh ow!

(Mine all mine)

Well

(Mine all mine)

Got ta, got ta, got to

(Mine all mine)

Got to have it. Ow!

(Mine all mine)

Uh! Uh! Uh!

(Mine all mine)

You got! You got! You got! You got!

Mine all mine
