Thank You For Loving Me Hi there! Do you remember me?from Blue. I’ve been here before telling a story about a girl, her name’sbut I like to call her “young gun”. Of course you’ve heard about her. She was addicted to drugs but, after the success of her first single “Keep The Faith”,started touring all over the world what was awesome for her. I say that ‘cause she was “clean” for 1 year and 2 months and after her first interview we became a couple for 10 months but we broke up ‘cause I made a pretty stupid thing. It happened months ago when, after been in USA for 2 months, came back to UK. She performed at the EMA’s and, at the after party, she found out about something that almost destroyed her life... _I can’t believe we’re all together again “young gun”! –said all excited. _I told you I’d be back. I promised “ Holdin’ on to never say goodbye...”. _And you didn’t change either. “Never Say Goodbye”, am I right? –asked. _Yeah! You’re getting good on this! They were laughing ‘till she realized I was not around... _Have you seen? – she asked. _No, I guess he’s in the bathroom. For some reason “young gun” didn’t buy the story and went to look for me. After a few minutes she found me outside the party making out with a girl. Ok, go ahead, curse me I don’t mind, to tell the truth I deserve all this... _.... whispered and I was shocked. The girl who was with me didn’t know what to do and stood still... _, look, it’s not... _“Shot through the heart as I lay there alone in the dark, shot through the heart it’s all part of this game that we call love...” She said a piece of “Shot Through The Heart” and did something that I never saw her doing before. She shad a tear...never cried over anything but this time was different and I was the responsible for that. She looked at me again and walked away. _, wait! I’m sorry I... _Don’t tell me you were drunk ‘cause I had problems with drugs and never hurt anyone with any kind of substance in my body. _, I’m sorry... _Save it. How long it’s been going on? I didn’t wanna answer but I had to be true to her... _A month. “Young gun” looked me in the eyes and I could see how hurt she was... _If you don’t love me... _... lie to me. _Don’t you ever lie to me. If you didn’t wanna be with me you should have said something. “Young gun” left running. She passed bywho tried to stop her with no luck. When I got close, he automatically asked me what was going on. _saw something... – I answered almost crying. _You mean you were cheating on her? –asked serious. _I didn’t plan it. It just happened. _How can you say that?, you’re an idiot, you know? I’m gonna look for her. left really upset. I guess if I was in his place I had done the same. He was right, I was an idiot, I’ve been jealous of her since she started her career and felt envy about her success. It’s childish, stupid but I don’t know what was happening to me. All I could think was that she could be with someone else and with her career going world wide she’d forget about me in a second. That night, looked for her all over London and couldn’t find her anywhere so he decided to go to her old neighborhood. He went to the garage where she used to work, her old flat and nothing. Whenwas about to give up, he saw someone who might help... _Hey you! _What do you want “playboy”? _I’m looking for someone. _Are you a cop? _No. I’m just looking for a friend. _I don’t know if I can help. Many people made business with me tonight. _Didmake business with you tonight? _Oh yeah! She bought a lot from me. _What did she buy? At this pointwas scared and worried about “young gun”... _She bought a good amount of cocaine. I guess she was throwing a party or something. went straight to her house and foundlaid on the couch. She already had used great part of the drug.went close to her to see if she was ok and noticed she was burning in fever. He thought about calling an ambulance or something but realized it was gonna be really bad for her career so he called instead. We were at’s house waiting for news from Antony when his phone started to ring... _Hello! _ please come to help me,’s not ok. They talked for a while and whenhung up the phone he looked straight at me with anger... _Do you know what you did Duncan? –asked with a cold voice. _Isok? _She bought cocaine and went home. What do you think? I didn’t know what to do. I started to feel worst than before. I couldn’t believe what I did to her, she trusted me and I did everything wrong. For three daysanddidn’t let me see her so Lee was the one telling me how she was. Well, one day I couldn’t handle anymore and went to her house, I had to see her... _, what are you doing here? –asked a little rude. _Please mate. I have to see her. I have to know how she is. – I begged. _Do you wanna see her? Ok, you will. I’m gonna show you how’s “your” girl. was pretty mad at me. I’ve never seen him this way before. We went to her room and whensaw me, he got angry too... _What the hell is he doing here? _It’s ok, let him see how “his” girl is doing. was being cold and I could see thatwas about to kick my ass.slowly opened the door and when I saw her I had a shock!was pale, shivering all shrunken on her bed with a bunch of blankets over her. That killed me inside... _What have I done to you? – I asked in disbelief. _You know what you’ve done. You hurt her. Really bad. –answered coldly. Suddenly she turned really slow... _...... was whispering my name. I got close to her and saw she was crying... _This is happening everyday. She cries and calls for you like you were some kind of a medicine that’d mend her broken heart. –explained. I started to cry and wish I could turn back time but I knew it was helpless. I set next to her holding her hand... _“If you could see inside my heart then you would understand I’d never meant to hurt you. Baby, I’m not that kind of man...” . _Do you think “I’d Die For You” can make her feel good? –asked angry. _I don’t know what to do... let me stay here with her, please. I was begging and crying. I was desperate... _If you hadn’t done what you did, you wouldn’t have to beg to be with her. Now get the hell out of here before I throw you out properly. warned me and I knew that was the best thing to do since I almost killed her. I left her place feeling lousy. For several times they threatened to kill her with guns and didn’t succeed but love me was doing a pretty good job! A week went by and the news about “young gun” were the same but one morning,called and said that something amazing happened.and him were making breakfast when suddenly they heard the song “You Give Love A Bad Name” coming from her room. was on her feet again singing and smiling. At first they didn’t understand how it could be but she just answered: ‘If that’s what he wants, what can I do?’. In 2 days she was back to work more beautiful than before. On a Thursday we had a meeting and we met her at the company building. I thought she’d say something about what happened or blame me for something but I was completely wrong... _Hey “young gun”! How are you? –greeted. _Hi. I’m great! _Good to see you smiling again. –said giving her a hug. _It’s good to see you too. hugged her as well and then she looked at me. Her eyes were full of life and her smile was perfect... _How are you? She gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek... _I... I’m fine. _Good to hear that. Well boys, I have to go now. I have a lot of work to do, you know “I could be the romantic, I could try my best line but, ain't got the money and we ain't got the time...” _“Ride Cowboy Ride”! –yelled. laughed, said goodbye and left. I wanted to go after her but I couldn’t. First ‘cause I was working and second... I don’t know but it was better this way. 4 months went by and all I knew aboutwas that she was in USA and everything was going great for her but soon she’d be back in UK as a guest in Bon Jovi’s concert. Her dream was coming true; she’d play with her favorite band. We were all invited to the concert and that night I decided it was time to talk to her about what happened and how much I wanted to be with her again. Everybody was enjoying the concert and I was dying to see her since I stepped in the arena. There was thousands of people screaming and singing. Jon Bon Jovi started to play with the crowd like if he was in a church... _We’re here to have a celebration! To cause tribulation! To hear expectations of hearts! I ain’t here to talk about politics! I ain’t here to discuss sports! I’m here to talk to you about love and religion, baby. The love of my religion! The one that bleeds from my pores! The one that makes me always want more! It’s called ROCK N’ ROLL mamma! The crowd was going insane! Everybody was screaming... _I’m here looking for some faithful! I gotta know how many faithful are out there! Show me UK how many faithful are out there! Then I saw her.was dressed like Jon Bon Jovi, black leather pants, black cowboy boots and black cowboy hat. The only different thing was a black t-shirt with the picture of the band she was wearing.was really beautiful! She got on stage with her guitar on her back and the crowd went wild... _Reverend Jon... I’m a faithful. – she said with a shy voice. _Hey Richie! We have a “young gun” on stage! – Jon joked. _At my time young guns weren’t that beautiful! – Tico Torres joked as well. Everybody laughed and I could see how happy she was there on stage with her favorite band... _Come on “young gun”! If you’re a faithful show me what you got! – Jon teased her. – Excuse me Richie but I need to hear her potential. _No problem! Do you want my guitar? – Richie offered. _No thanks Mr. Sambora. I brought my own. – she answered laughing. _Are you guys ready? – Jon asked. Everybody screamed and they started to play “Bad Medicine”...Your love is like bad medicine Bad medicine is what I need Shake it up, just like bad medicine So let’s play doctor, baby cure my disease Bad medicine I ain’t got a fever got a permanent disease It’ll take more than a doctor to prescribe a remedy I got lots of money but it isn’t what I need Gonna take more than a shot to get this poison out of me I got all the symptoms count ’em 1,2,3 First I need (That’s what you get for falling in love) Then you bleed (You get a little but it’s never enough) On your knees (That’s what you get for falling in love) And now this boy’s addicted cause your kiss is the drug Your love is like bad madicine Bad medicine is what I need Shake it up, just like bad madicine There ain’t no doctor that can cure my disease Bad, bad medicine Bad, bad medicine I don’t need no needle to be diving me a thrill And I don’t need no anesthesia or a nurse to bring a pill I got a dirty down addition it doesn’t leave a track I got a jone for your affection like a money on my back There ain’t no paramedic gonna save this heart attack When you need (That’s what you get for falling in love) Then you bleed (You get a little but it’s never enough) On your knees (That’s what you get for falling in love) Now I’m addicted and your kiss is the drug Your love is like bad medicine Bad medicine is what I need Shake it up, just like bad medicine So let’s play doctor, baby cure my disease Bad, bad medicine Bad, bad medicine On the guitar solo she was amazing! Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora were reverencing her...I need a respirator cause I’m running out of breath You’re an all night generator wrapped is stockings and a dress When you find your medicine you take what you can get Cause if there’s something better, baby well they haven’t found it yet Your love is like bad medicine Bad medicine is what I need Shake it up, just like bad medicine There ain’t no doctor that can cure my disease Your love is like bad medicine Bad medicine is what I need Shake it up, just like bad medicine Your love’s the potion that can cure my disease Bad, bad medicine Bad, bad medicine When they finished the song,had a huge smile on her face... _She was great! –said clapping his hands. We were all proud of her… _I guess I’m about to lose my job! – Richie Sambora joked. laughed shyly and then started to talk... _Thanks guys. It’s always been my dream to play with you. And I wanna thank you again for helping me write my new single and I’m more than glad to release it here in your concert! _It was our pleasure to have you hereand now it’s time for you to work. Dave, are you ready to play with her? _More than ready! _“Young gun”... the stage is all yours. Jon left the stage with Richie and she started to talk again... _Well, this is my new single and it’s called “Mine”. was in front of the mic with the sound of the piano on the back then, she started to sing....If you tasted other kisses This is not why I’m leaving ‘Cause I know how you’re feeling And babe I forgive you Understand? If you want other arms To warm up your nights We won’t have a fight You don’t have to explain a thing ‘Cause I know When I am in your room making love to you I can feel there’s no one else inside your soul ‘Cause I feel everytime you whisper my name I’m the one And I know that you love me with your body and your heart And you know I’ll love you forever more And I know you’ve done things wrong before But still you’re mine, mine, mine… If another hands took you for a while What would I get not letting you smile? What’s the point? If you forgot my body without thinking twice For sure I won’t judge you, oh no It’s something too personal Yeah I know When I am in your room making love to you I can feel there’s no one else inside your soul ‘Cause I feel everytime you whisper my name I’m the one And I know that you love me with your body and your heart And you know I’ll love you forever more And I know you’ve done things wrong before But still you’re mine, mine, mine… So, what can I say? It was clear... the song was written for me.wrote a song about what happened that night. I thought she was forgiving me but I was wrong again. At the end of the concert we went backstage to talk to her, I saw her coming out of the dressing room laughing and chatting with everyone around and when I was about to talk to hercame, gave her a hug and kissed her... on the lips! _What the hell was that?! _I don’t know but it seems that she moved on with her life. – answered. _With?! – I asked in disbelief. _Well, I guess she’s cursed with guys from boy bands. –joked. Ok, I likea lot but he wasn’t helping. I watched that scene for a while and when I was about to leave saw us... _Aww...! – she yelled. _Aww...! –yelled back. – You were great! How are you feeling? _I’m in heaven! “It’s a hot night, the natives are restless. We’re sweating by the light of the moon, there’s a voodoo mojo brewing at the go-go that could knock a witch off her broom...”! _“One Wild Night”... that’s what tonight is... wild! –said all excited. _You finally made your dream come true! – observed. _I know! Isn’t it amazing? Everybody was chatting, laughing and I couldn’t take my eyes of ’s hand on her waist... _Oh guys, I wanna introduce you my boyfriend! , these are ,,and ... my 4 angels! Ok, I was replaced bybut at least I was still one of her angels... _Nice to meet you finally.talks about you all the time! –said shaking our hands. _How long have you been together? – I asked. _3 months. I metin a nightclub in Boston and I fell in love with her right the way. –answered kissing her forehead. _And are you taking good care of her? –inquired. _I told you cowboy,’s a protective older brother! Everybody laughed at her joke and I didn’t believe in what my ears heard. “Young gun” called him cowboy! How stupid! How could she fall in love with a guy like him? _Well sweetie, we better be going. Was really nice to meet you all and don’t worry. I could never do something to hurt her. –said giving her a hug. _Is good to know that! –answered. _Guys, I loved to see you all again. We need to make some time to meet like the old days. I really miss you! gave us a hug and left. When I felt her hands on me again I wanted to kiss her but there was between us... _I’m really happy for her. She seems to be great and happy too. –observed. _Sweetie?! Who does he think he is to call her that way? _If you didn’t hear,is her boyfriend. –laughing. _Get over it mate. “Young gun” found a new cowboy. was not being my friend. I knew I deserved all that but I was suffering, not because she was happy without me but ‘cause I made a bullshit letting her go over a stupid thing I did. After that night everybody was talking about her andbeing a perfect couple. In every single interview she had they asked about why we broke up butnever told them about me cheating on her. Some journalists were enjoying open some of my wounds just to see how I’d react. Of course I couldn’t do much, just fake a smile and say that everything was fine and we were good mates. 3 months later we were in Manchester for a concert with a bunch of other bands andwas there too. Everytime I saw her withwas like a shot through my heart. I was feeling exactly what she felt that night. Finally hit me, I needed her back in my life, I needed her with me so, I had an idea... _Do you think it’s gonna work? –asked. _It has to! _Look, I know how much you love her but, do you think she’s gonna be with you after that? –asked. _She likes Bon Jovi, loves “Always” so, I guess it’ll work. _Ok, we’ll help you but I’m warning you, she’s not dumb. – said. I had to try something so, that night, we went to the hotel bar and she was there drinking with some of her friends... _That’s it. She’s there so we better start. The guys looked at me not sure about that but, didn’t say a word and soon we were singing “Always” to her...This Romeo is bleeding but you can’t see his blood It’s nothing but some feelings that this old dog kicked up It’s been raining since you left me now I’m drowning in the flood You see I’ve always been a fighter but without you I give up Now I can’t sing a love song like the way it’s meant to be Well I guess I’m not that good anymore but baby that’s just me And I will love you, baby Always And I’ll be there forever and a day Always I’ll be there ‘til the stars don’t shine ‘Til the heavens burst and the words don’t rhyme And I know when I die you’ll be on my mind and I’ll love you Always Now your pictures that you left behind are just memories from a different life Some that made us laugh some that made us cry One that made you have to say goodbye What I’d give to run my fingers through your hair to touch your lips to hold you near When you say your prayers try to understand I’ve made mistakes I’m just a man When he holds you close, when he pulls you near When he says the words you’ve been needing to hear I’ll wish I was him ‘cause those words are mine To say to you ‘til the end of time And I will love you, baby Always And I’ll be there forever and a day Always If you told me to cry for you, I could If you told me to dye for you, I would Take a look at my face there’s no price I won’t pay To say these words to you Well there ain’t no luck in these loaded dice But baby if you give me just one more try We can pack up our old dreams and our old lives We’ll find a place where the sun still shines And I will love you, baby Always And I’ll be there forever and a day Always I’ll be there ‘til the stars don’t shine ‘Til the heavens burst and the words don’t rhyme And I know when I die you’ll be on my mind and I’ll love you Always Oh baby, what’ll I do for your love? When we finished the song everybody was clapping andhad a vague gaze. When she was hit by reality she stood up, put her brown cowboy hat on and came close to me, so close that I could feel her breath... _“Now you’ve come back here to say you’re sorry but I don’t know who you’re talking to. It could be the man I used to be but I’ve grown up and now, I’m over you...” _“Shot Through The Heart”... – I whispered. _That’s exactly what I felt when I saw you and “what’s – her – name” together that night. She put her overcoat on and left the hotel. I stood there for a while and then the guys took me to my room. I’d lost her, I’d lost my “young gun”. That week we did our concert but I wasn’t feeling ok. The day we left Manchester I had a fever, I couldn’t eat anything and just wanted to sleep. When we got in London they took me straight to a hospital, I took some shots and was sent home. I was feeling weak and only thought about all the time. I was so delirious calling for her that I thought I saw her one day in my room. I’ve been like that for 1 week and a half and when I was feeling ok again I went back to work. We were supposed to do a concert in London and I thought it was better give up getting “young gun” back so, at the concert, I decided to sing a song for her. It was the last one... _Well, I wanna sing something to an important person in my life. I hope you enjoy and take this advice... never lie to someone you love. I closed my eyes and started to sing “Thank You For Loving Me”....t's hard for me to say the things I want to say sometimes There's no one here but you and me and that broken old street light Lock the doors we'll leave the world outside All I've got to give to you are these five words when I Thank you for loving me For being my eyes when I couldn't see For parting my lips when I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me Thank you for loving me I never knew I had a dream until that dream was you When I look into your eyes the sky's a different blue Cross my heart I wear no disguise If I tried, you'd make believe that you believed my lies Thank you for loving me For being my eyes when I couldn't see For parting my lips when I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me When I was about to sing the next verse I heard a voice coming from behind me. I turned around and couldn’t believe in what I was seeing, she was there...was there singing with me...You pick me up when I fall down You ring the bell before they count me out If I was drowning you would part the sea And risk your own life to rescue me Lock the doors we'll leave the world outside All I've got to give to you are these five words when I Thank you for loving me For being my eyes when I couldn't see You parted my lips when I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me When I couldn't fly oh, you gave me wings You parted my lips when I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me When we finished the song I was almost crying. I didn’t know what to say, what to do! She smiled at me and started to talk to the crowd... _You know guys thatand I used to be a couple but something went wrong in the middle and now I want an advice. “Young gun” looked at me and I wasn’t understanding a thing about that... _I wanna know if I should give him another chance. Should I give him another chance? Whenasked that everybody screamed saying “yes”. I wasn’t believing in what I was hearing. She wanted me back in her life! She wanted to be with me again... _So what do you say? I’ll give you another chance... do you still wanna be with me? _“There’s a neverending story that begins with you and I, like the rose outside your window, don’t let it die...” _“The Distance”... is that a “yes”? _You don’t have to ask me that “young gun”! At that moment we kissed the way we used to and I, well, I was the happiest man in the world! After the concert we were all in the dressing room... _Who came up with that idea? – I asked. _I did! –answered smiling – I got mad at you for doing what you did but I know how you two love each other. I calledand she agreed with that. –answered smiling. _Just don’t do that again, ok? –warned. _I won’t man. I’ll never hurt my “young gun” again. I kissed her and suddenly hit me... _What about? They all looked at each other... _“I’ve tried to need someone, like they needed me, I opened my heart but all I did was bleed...” _“Something For The Pain”... well, I guess you need to talk. said that and left withand... _What happened? – I asked curious. _That day you sang at the hotel in Manchester I broke up with him. _Really?! Why? _‘Cause I love you. Her answer took me by surprise. So “Always” worked really well, huh? My smile got even bigger... _I love you too “young gun”! We kissed again and then we went to my house to celebrate, if you know what I mean. Now, it’s been a month we’re together again. We are working our schedules to be together and I don’t put wrong things in my head anymore ‘cause I know how much she loves me. Ah, do you remember that day I was sick and thought I had seen her in my room? Well,was actually there. She was the one who took care of me all that week. “Young gun” only left when I started to come back to reality. Pretty nice, huh? The End
