Hmmm....I still think my interpretation is probably correct. Considering the song is "Girl Gone Bad", it would make sense for him to say "...just be glad you held her, don't fall in love." Originally Posted by sixstring

That's a tough one. "just be glad you held her, don't fall in love" sounds pretty darn close to me. My ear/s are bad..."I listen to too much rock 'n' roll". What VH song is that from? Originally Posted by Darby

Good lyrical question. I never even had a guess for what he says in the first part, but I always thought the second part was "don't fall in love."
It feels somewhat reassuring that someone else hears the same thing I do.

Lyrics are posted at van-halen.com

I didn't check out Girl Gone Bad, and don't know who transcribed all the lyrics, but most VH songs are in there. I've refrenced it many times, trying to decipher DLR's "unique" writing. I can only assume the transcriptions are as accurate as they can be, since they're on the official site.
