1. Livin' On A Prayer
(Jon Bon Jovi / Richie Sambora / Desmond Child)Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love
She says: We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayerTommy got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers: Baby it's okay, someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
2. Keep The Faith
(Jon Bon Jovi / Ritchie Sambora / Desmond Child )Mother mother tell your children
That their time has just begun
I have suffered for my anger
There are wars that can't be wonFather father please believe me
I am laying down my guns
I am broken like an arrow
Forgive me
Forgive your wayward sonEverybody needs somebody to love
(mother, mother)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(please believe me)
Everybody's bitching
'cause they can't get enough
And it's hard to hold on
When there's no one to lean onFaith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faithTell me baby when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside
Do you tell me al's forgiven
And just hide behind your prideEverybody needs somebody to love
(mother, father)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(please don't leave me)
Everybody's bleeding
'cause the times are tough
Well it's hard to be strong
When there's no one to dream onFaith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Now you know is not too late
Oh you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faithWalking in the footsteps
Of society's lies
I don't like what I see no more
Sometimes I wish that I was blind
Sometimes I wait foreverTo stand out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin'
Trying to wash away the pain
Mother fatherThere's things I've done I can't erase
Every night we fall from graceIt's hard with the world in yours face
Trying to hold on, trying to hold onFaith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to keep the faith
Faith: now it's not too late
Try to hold on, trying to hold on
Keep the faith
3. Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
(Jon Bon Jovi, Ritchie Sambora, Desmond Child)Hey, man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
I'm feelin' like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday nightHey, my name is Jim, where did I go wrong
My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone
I just can't hold a job, where do I belong
I'm sleeping in my car, my dreams move onMy name is Billy Jean, my love was bought and sold
I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went, took my innocence away
The street life aint much better, but at least I get paidAnd Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll surviveHey man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time

Hey hey hey hey, man gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday nightNow I can't say my name, and tell you where I am
I want to roll myself away, don't know if I canI wish that I could be in some other time and place
With someone elses soul, someone elses faceOh, Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll surviveHey, man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time

I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Saturday night, all right, all right
Saturday night.
This romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked upIt'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 meAnd I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till 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 - AlwaysNow your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of 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 manWhen 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 till the end of timeYeah, I will love you baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - AlwaysIf you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die 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 shinesAnd I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till 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
5. Wanted Dead Or Alive
(Jon Bon Jovi / Richie Sambora)It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold I'd drive all night
Just to get back home I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse
I ride I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're all alone all you do is think
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces
And I've rocked them all I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
6. Lay Your Hands On Me
(Jon Bon Jovi / Ritchie Sambora)If you're ready, I'm willing and able
Help me lay my cards out on the table
You're mine and I'm yours for the taking
Right now the rules we made
Are meant for breakingWhat you get ain't always
What you see
But satisfaction's guaranteed
They say what you give is always
What you need
So if you want me to
Lay my hands on youLay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on meI'm a fighter, I'm a poet,
I'm a preacher
I've been to school and
Baby, I've been the teacher
If you show me how to get
Up off the ground
I can show you
How to fly and never
Ever come back downEverything you want
Is what I need
Satisfaction's guaranteed
But the ride don't never ever
Come for free
If you want me to
Lay my hands on youLay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me,

Lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on meDon't you know I only aim to please
If you want me to lay
My hands on you
7. You Give Love A Bad Name
(Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Desmond Child)An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free
You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name
You paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
8. Bed Of Roses
(Jon Bon Jovi)Sitting here wasted and wounded
at this old piano
Trying hard to capture
the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
they won't make of me when I'm deadWith an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I needI want to lay you on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of rosesWell I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
baby blind love is trueI want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of rosesThe hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I diedWhen you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defendI want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
9. Blaze Of Glory
(Jon Bon Jovi)I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I've got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm going
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the windWhen you're brought into this world
They say you're born in sin
Well at least they gave me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah, I'm a wanted man
I'm a colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister catch me if you canI'm going out in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gunYou ask about my conscience
And I offer you my soul
You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I'll grow old
You ask me if I've known love
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain
Well, I've seen love come
And I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vainShot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm the devil's son
Call me young gunSolo
Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No I ain't looking for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord, I got to ask a favor
And hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
Staring down a bullet
Let me make my final standShot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
And I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
I'm a young gun
10. In These Arms
(Jon Bon Jovi / Ritchie Sambora / David Bryan)You want commitment
Take a look into these eyes
They burn with a fire, just for you now
Until the end of time
I would do anything
I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die
To have you in these arms tonight
Baby I want you like the roses
Want the rain
You know I need you
Like a poet needs the pain
I would give anything
My blood my love my lifeIf you were in these arms tonight

Our words were our songs
Our songs are our prayers
These prayers keep me strong
It's what I believe

All over our room
This old place still smells like
Your cheap perfume
Everything here reminds me of you
And there's nothing that I
Wouldn't do to be in your armsAnd these were our words
They keep me strong
I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you

And love you till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonights

12. I'll Be There For You
(Jon Bon Jovi / Ritchie Sambora)I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love in suicideYou say you're cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymoreNow I'm praying to God you'll
Give me one more chance, girlI'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe
I want to be the air for you

Steal the sun from the sky for you

I'll be there for youI know you know we're
had some good times
How they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterdayAnd Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine

13. In And Out Of Love
(Jon Bon Jovi)
Young and wired
Set to explode in the heat
You won't tire
Take you higher than you've ever known
Then drive you down to your knees
I pick you up when you've had enoughIn and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin'
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enoughShe's gonna get ya.
Running wild
When me and my boys hit the streets
Right on time
She's here to make my night complete
Then I'm long gone I got another show
One more town, one mile to go
One endless night of fantasy
Is all she left of her with meIn and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin'
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
When we're together
In and out of love
It's too much foreverIn and out of love
Hear what I'm saying
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
She's gonna get you
In and out of love...
14. Runaway
(Jon Bon Jovi / G. Karak)On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives.
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes.
All Your Life, All your life
All you've asked when's your Daddy gonna talk to you.
You were living in another world tryin' to get your message through.
No one heard a single word you said.
They should have seen it in your eyes what was going around your heart.Ooh, she's a little runaway.
Daddy's girl learned fast all those things he couldn't say.
Ooh, she's a little runaway.
A different line every night guaranteed to blow your mind.See you out on the streets, call me for a wild time.
So you sit home alone 'cause there's nothing left that you can do.
There's only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you.
You know she likes the lights at nights on the neon Broadway signs
She don't really mind, it's only love she hoped to find.Ooh, she's a little runaway.
Daddy's girl learned fast all those things he couldn't say.
Ooh, she's a little runaway.No one heard a single word she said.
They should have seen it in your eyes what was going around your heart.Ooh, she's a little runaway.
Daddy's girl learned fast all those things he couldn't say.
Ooh, she's a little runaway.
Daddy's girl learned fast, now she works the night away.
Ooh, she's a little runaway.
Daddy's girl learned fast all those things he couldn't say.
Ooh, she's a little runaway.
Daddy's girl learned fast, now she works the night away.
15. Never Say Goodbye
(Jon Bon Jovi / Richie Sambora)As I sit in this smokey room
The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
But this bottle's my only friend
Remember when we used to park
On Butler Street out in the dark
Remember when we lost the keys
And you lost more than that in my backseat
Remember when we used to talk
About busting out - we'd break their hearts
Together - forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on - we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye
Remember days of skipping school
Racing cars and being cool
With a six pack and the radio
We didn't need no place to go
Remember at the prom that night
You and me we had a fight
But the band they played our favorite song
And I held you in my arms so strong
We danced so close
We danced so slow
And I swore I'd never let you go
Together - forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on - we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye
I guess you'd say we used to talk
About busting out
We'd break their hearts
Together - forever
