Van Halen - When It's Love

When It's Love is a song recorded by Van Halen. It was released as a single from their album OU812. It was the most popular song from that album, hitting #1 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks charts and #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The song has been a live performance staple since it was released in 1988.

The song was also included in the set list for the band's ill-fated 1998 tour with Gary Cherone. Eddie has stated that this particular guitar solo is a nod to Eric Clapton.

It was featured on a VH1 special, "The Greatest: 25 Greatest Power Ballads," where it was ranked as the 24th greatest power ballad of all time.

The lyrics:

Hey, everybody's lookin' for somethin'

Somethin' to fill in the holes

We think a lot but don't talk much about it

'Till things get out of control, oh

How do I know when it's love?

I can't tell you but it lasts forever

Oh, how does it feel when it's love?

It's just somethin' you feel together when it's love

You look at every face in a crowd

Some shine and some keep you guessin'

Waiting for someone to come into focus

And teach you your final love lesson, oh

How do I know when it's love?

I can't tell you but it lasts forever

Oh, how does it feel when it's love?

It's just something you feel together

(Oh)

Oh, when it's love

(Oh)

You can feel it, yeah

(Oh)

Nothin's missin', yeah

(Oh)

Yeah, you can feel it

(Oh)

Oh, when it's love

(Oh)

When nothin's missing

How do I know when it's love?

I can't tell you but it lasts forever

Ooh, how does it feel when it's love?

It's just something you feel together, hey

How do I know when it's love?

I can't tell you but it lasts forever

When it's love, ooh, when it's love

Hey, it'll last forever

(Na, na, na, na, na)

When it's love

(Na, na, na, na, na)

(Na, na, na, na, na)

(Na, na, na, na, na)

Give it up

We're gonna feel this thing together

(Na, na, na, na, na)

When it's love, ooh

(Na, na, na, na, na)

When it's love, baby

(Na, na, na, na, na)

(Na, na, na, na, na)

You can feel it, yeah

(Na, na, na, na, na)

(Na, na, na, na, na)

We'll make it last forever

(Na, na, na, na, na)

(Na, na, na, na, na)

Ooh, when it's love
