Van Halen - Finish What Ya Started Lyrics






If you wanna see other guys
Baby, I could let it slide
You wanna 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 look at the long run
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
Oh! I'm incomplete uh!
That ain't no way to treat the broken-hearted
Ow! Come on and finish me!

[Guitar Solo]

(Baby come on)
(Come on baby, you say yeah)
(Baby come on)
(Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, bay-yeah!)

Uh!
Now come on baby
Please
Oh baby, come on

(Come on baby finish what ya started)
Ahh
(That ain't no way to treat the broken-hearted)
Oh, oo-ow-oo-ow-oo-ow!
(Come on baby finish what ya started)
Whoo! Gimmee. Ah!

(That ain't no way to treat the broken-hearted)
Mmm, mmm-hmm
(Baby come on)
Ah. Take each step baby, one by one
(Baby come on)
Yeah. Come on
(Baby come on)
I got the tools. I'll satisfy ya
Come on baby
(Baby come on)
Wow-oo-ow-oo-ow! Yeah
(Baby come on)
(Baby come on)
(Baby come on)
So come on baby
(Baby come on)
So come on baby
(Baby come on)
Yeah!
Uh, come on!
(Baby come on)
Now, come on!
Baby come on)
Uh, come on!

Van Halen Finish What Ya Started Comments
  1. s.... ....

    Part of what makes this song so good is that it is a departure from what Van Halen sounds like 99% of the time, whether it is Dave or Sammy. This is a unique sound, and it totally works. Eddie's creativity here was masterful in a way that was different than his normal supremacy (Don't Tell Me What Love Can Do was also different, although unlike this song, and awesome). Over the years, this has climbed very high on my list of VH songs.

  2. A.... ....

    These guys got more ass than a toilet seat in their day

  3. E.... G....

    Is that the late Templeman´s voice at the beginning?

  4. a.... m....

    Eddie at his Finest!

  5. K.... B....

    Best song ever

  6. C.... B....

    A very underrated Van Halen song

  7. J.... K....

    Les paul and. Skyy. Potato

  8. M.... F....

    Супер!!!

  9. J.... B....

    This is by far my favorite VH song and video! The song is sexy, especially the way SH sings it, Sammy and Eddie are looking healthy, happy and oh so sexy, Plus i had gone out with a group of guys that I worked with including one I had an undefined relationship with. This came on the jukebox and I started dancing. the way the future love of my life was looking at me....Wow! Of course, the other guys were leering but not RV. There was more there. Years later, after we got involved, although I was dancing like I usually do, I realized that I was dancing for him and was in love with him at that point. Believe it or not, we didn't get together for 13 years as I moved out of state but we found each other again, So whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of that night and that makes it all the more sexier!!!

  10. C.... Y....

    I came for the guitar riff.

    I stayed....



    .....for the guitar riff.

  11. A.... S....

    Pretty good guitarist.....lol.

  12. T.... u....

    I would have finished you Sammy!

  13. M.... H....

    Dlr is better

  14. w.... c....

    Credit where credit is due time... I grew up on Van Halen with DLR, and to be honest, I still think of that band as the "real" Van Halen. That said, everything about this is stellar. Catchy as hell. Eddie sounding amazing with a clean, twangy sound. Sammy's vocals are killer. Mike's backing vocals are killer. Stunning chick. Everyone truly seems to be having fun. Just a fantastic video.

  15. �.... l....

    Come on baby finish what you started.. I’m in complete 🥰 ❣️ funky, fun, happy song. Summer dayz... picturing my hubby and his friend driving around playing this.. long before we meet x😘 come satisfy me 😍❣️😘🖤

  16. B.... D....

    has helped me through so much bad sex. ty Sammy

  17. S.... D....

    Michael Anthony is the SHIT!
    Totally underrated. His Bass rocks, and his harmonies make the sound.
    "Jamie's Cryin'" is a classic example.
    Sammy, just, can't drive 55!
    He's such a better singer than Roth, it's a joke.
    Roth can't sing. He can sell anything, however.
    Without him, they wouldn't have made it. Roth is a smart guy: I'll give him that one. 😎

  18. s.... s....

    Such a cool track.

  19. S.... r....

    Beautiful 🤘🎸🇬🇧

  20. b.... ....

    Huh? So that's the best? Nah. It's not even in the top five. It's a great song. Great lyrics, great music. But the video is lame.

  21. Q.... U....

    Smoking 🔥

  22. b.... ....

    Eddie sounded way too twangy country in this and that's when I was sure Van Halen was finished. Hagar had ruined the band- Thank God I was wrong, way way way wrong.

  23. r.... s....

    This is almost my favorite DAMN YANKEE"S SONG???

  24. O.... ....

    All this video needs is more fast edits.

  25. K.... L....

    Years ago in high school (I was a junior) one of my classes was playing "Name That Tune" by randomly changing the stations on the radio and listening to song clips.
    The song "Waiting For A Star To Fall" by Boy Meets Girl came on and, recognizing it, correctly named both tune and artist.
    However, a senior girl immediately contradicted me and told the teacher that it was NOT that song but was definitely "Finish What You Started" by Van Halen.
    I tried telling her it wasn't and she kept contradicting me and convincing the teacher her answer was the correct one; I can't remember what team got the points, lol.

    K.... L....

    Kristina Larson they don’t sound anything alike tho

  26. J.... B....

    Best VH song Sammy was a Val Kilmer lookin mutherfucker then

  27. J.... B....

    THAT AIN'T THE WAY TO TREAT THE BROKEN HEARTED

  28. P.... ....

    Do you really have the Tools to satisfy if she is seeing other guys

  29. j.... c....

    Sammy Hagar made the Van Halen bros filthy rich with his songwriting.

  30. �.... �....

    This goes to show that Eddie is as good on clean sound as on overdriven stuff! expert level!

  31. �.... �....

    The Lonely Rocker digs this kinda music!

  32. K.... F....

    THey are all geezers now. Bw ha ah aha ha.

    K.... F....

    @Kelp Farming yea cause you won't be on stage at all Mkay

    K.... F....

    @Teresa uNDERWOOD AWwww, but you will still be dreaming you will be, right. NEXT

    K.... F....

    Geezer Butler played for Black Sabbath and Ozzy but never with these geezers

    K.... F....

    @boog567 you wish you had those geezers money tho

    K.... F....

    @Teresa uNDERWOOD Oh Hell Yes

  33. J.... B....

    COME ON AND FINISH MEEEEEEE

  34. J.... B....

    If you can't get laid to this song.....

  35. C.... B....

    Only one of the best because it gave me a boner.

  36. M.... O....

    Imagine if this was Roth?🤔😑😂🙂

  37. N.... E....

    is it just me, or does it sound a bit like cabo wabo

  38. C.... S....

    I didn’t start ANYTHING! So no.

  39. S.... S....

  42. R.... C....

    This is the song that won me over to Van Hagar.

  43. B.... B....

    Anybody know the names of the models? You never see them get credited anywhere, and I've wondered about it since I first saw this in the late 1980s.

  44. C.... N....

    Eddie is amazing! Great sound! And he looks funny trying to do sexy moves! He is handsome but still looks funny

  45. D.... R....

  55. D.... W....

    Roth or Sammy era...hands down one of the best VH songs

    D.... W....

    When i heard this song for the first time i said to myself, is Sammy trying to sound like Diamond Dave, i think Dave would've done this song even better.

    During this period of their music careers, Eddie Van Halen is more famous for being married to Valerie Bertinelli - or as Peter Griffin says it: "Valerie Bert and Ernie".

    L.... D....

  77. A.... C....

    Sammy and Mike please come back to Van Halen. I love David, but....

  78. E.... G....

    I hate Sammy! Give me Dave!

  79. K.... M....

    Van Halen only kept on thru the thru the years because of Sammy.

  80. C.... K....

    God Sammy sucks. This song is cool but I cannot stand Haggar. I'm not even a huge Dave fan. I mostly love VH for the music. But I cannot stand Sammy. His tequila sucks too.

  81. C.... K....

    This is the ONLY Van Haggar song I like. The pinch Eddie puts on those strings sounds so good.

    C.... K....

    Me too. Only Haggar song I like

  82. J.... S....

    Can't get this song out of my head again after hearing Sammy and The Circle on Howard Stern this week

    J.... S....

    That's what brought me here too, seen this 100x over 30 yrs, always good ! !

  83. H.... W....

    Not much Mikey in this video

  84. J.... B....

    Sammy was a Val Kilmer lookin bitch

  85. A.... B....

    When people ask what it means to “Make America Great Again” I show them this video

    A.... B....

    It's a demonstration of of talent, guts, attitude for the good, assurance and grace, quintessential American qualities about which Mr. Trump knows nothing about

    A.... B....

    Amen! I agree with you

  86. G.... 2....

    1,000,000,000 Yes I'm I'm .

  87. A.... G....

    Saw sammy in Austin this yr awesome show went to Dallas saw him again worth it

  88. r.... h....

    This is white soul at its best. This is that funk. Classic

  89. V.... T....

    I stopped listening to this at 3:20

  90. S.... A....

    I so much miss this kind of music !!!

    S.... A....

    Scott Alan you are so so soo not alone. It's a shame that the 80's could only last 10 yrs.
    But brother what a great 10 fu€%!#@ yrs!!!

  91. J.... S....

    This is the only song with Sammy Hagar that sounded some what Van Halen. Not crazy about them after David Lee Roth left.

  92. T.... J....

    Ha. Nice song.

  93. G.... C....

    Sammy all day. Sorry Dave lol

  94. C.... A....

    Roth was a showman.. He couldn't sing for squat. The band carried him. Didn't really listen to VH until Sammy joined..

    C.... A....

    Clark Air Base how many great songs you’ve missed out on hurts...

  95. J.... D....

    Eddie!!!!

  96. y.... ....

    I think this was the overall most pleasing Van Hagar song...

  97. M.... P....

    Sammy has $25000 worth of teeth there...
