Come on baby, finish what ya started
That ain't no way to treat the broken hearted
If you want to see other guys
Baby, I could let it slide
You want to lover, you want a friend
Mama, I can be both of them
I got the tools to satisfy
Just walk away, if I fall shy at all
Come on baby, finish what you started
I'm incomplete
That ain't no way to treat the broken hearted
I need some sympathy
I like to take each step, one by one
Right on time, you will arrive
By keepin' the dream alive
It's alive and it's kicking
Inside of me
So come on baby, please
Come on baby, finish what you started
I'm incomplete
That ain't no way to treat the broken hearted
Come on and finish me
Come on baby, finish what you started
That ain't no way to treat the broken hearted
Come on baby, finish what you started
That ain't no way to treat the broken hearted
Baby, come on
Baby, come on

    General Comment:Sammy wrote this song about his first wife. They lived next to Eddie Van Halen at the time and him and his wife were starting to get frisky when eddie started yelling up to sammy's bedroom balcony to come down, so he told his wife ed will never go away until I go down there and see what he wants, so he went down and Eddie had a guitar rif he came up with for sammy to hear. They sat on the porch and he played it, while in the middle of it Sam looked up and saw his wife shut the bedroom light off. Instantly he made Eddie start from the top and he made the lyrics to the song up as he was singing it to his wife in the bedroom. The next day they recorded it

    General Comment:Love the southern twang to this song. A bit different for Van Halen, but they do it really well.
