Lyrics for Bon Jovi Songs

Midnight in Chelsea 
Jon Bon Jovi/Dave Stewart

Kids 'round here look just like sticks
Trade old licks with a beat up six
I just smile and catch the groove
Gothic girls all dressed in black
Serious as heart attacks
Takes a little bit of getting used to
The old man with the whiskey stains
Lost the night and forgot his name
His poor wife was sleeping alone again
It ain't hard to understand why she's holdin' on to her own hand
 
*It's Midnight in Chelsea
 (Sha la la la, Sha la la)
 Midnight in Chelsea
 (Sha la la la, Sha la la)
 No one's asking me for favors
 No one's looking for a savior
 They're too busy saving me*
 
I seen a lonesome rainy drive
Seems the chauffer took a dive
sold his secrets to the sun
Ahh, later in a magazine 
I finally figured what it means
To be a saint but not a queen
Two lustful lovers catch a spark
Chased their shadows in the dark
Someone's gettin' off tonight
A big red bus is packed so tight
Disappears in a trail of light
Somewhere, someone's dreamin'
Baby it's alright
 
It's Midnight in Chelsea
(Sha la la la, Sha la la)
Midnight in Chelsea
(Sha la la la, Sha la la)
No one's pinnin' dreams on me
No one's asking me to bleed
I'm the man I wanna be
When Chelsea girls sing
Sha la la la, Sha la la la, Sha la la la, Sha la la la 
Oh, oh
 
It's morning when I go to sleep
And here comes the distant dawn with church bell rings
Another day is comin' on
Baby's born an old man dies
The way young lovers kiss good-bye
I leave my soul and just move on
Wish that I was there to sing this song
 
(Repeat *)
 
It's Midnight in Chelsea
Yeah no one's pinnin' dreams on me
No one's askin' me to bleed
I'm the man I wanna be
The man I wanna be
The man I wanna be
Midnight in Chelsea




Sad Song Night  
Jon Bon Jovi/E.Bazilian/D.Child
 
She was a little bit older, I was a little bit shy
But I knew how to kiss the lips at night
(but i knew how to kiss, until her lips met mine)
Whisky, bread and cigarettes
(whiskey breath, and cigarettes....
The spell of perfume, and that's as good as it gets
(Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho)
 
She taught me how to dance in Spanish town
She got a kid watching me spinning round and round
The stars shone bright, and the moon hung low
Willy DeVille was singing on the radio

Well, it's a sad song night
Well, the long-ago girl wanna do my mind
It's a sad song night
And nothing stops time like a sad song night
Sad song night

She came in the room, white flowers in her hair
She lit the way with a 100 candles up the stairs
We made love in a chinese lantern room
And the bitch had it in so soon

Well, it's a sad song night

Well, the long-ago girl wanna do my mind
It's a sad song night
And nothing stops time like a sad song  ...
Well, it's a sad song night
Well, the long-ago girl wanna do my mind
Another sad song night
And nothing stops time like a sad song
 
Well, I never went back to Spanish town
Hung up my dancing shoes, and the world kept spinning round and round
I think of her, when they play that song Sometimes I even sing along
(*chuckling laugh*)






  
It's My Life
The Animals

It's a hard world to get a breakin'
All the good things have been taken
But girl there are ways to make certain things pay
Though I'm dressed in these rays
I'll wear sable someday, here what I say

I'm gonna ride the serpent
No more time to spent, sweatin' rent
Hear my command
I'm breakin' loose, ain't no use
Holdin' me down, stick around, but baby remember

*It's me life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt you some time
But some day I'll treat you real fire

There'll be women and their fortune
Who just want to mother orphans
Are you gonna cry while I'm squeezin' 'em dry
Takin' all I can get, no regrets
When I openly lie and live on their money

Believe me honey, that money
Can you believe
I ain't no saint, no complaints
So girl throw out any doubts, and baby remember
(Repeat *)




I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas
Jon Bon Jovi
	
What time is it baby		
Is it that time again		
The snow will be falling		
Friends will be calling		
I know it's time when 		
There will be carol singing		
Silent Night		
I love when you sing		
The feeling it brings		
It's warm as the fire		
Really bright		
	
Soon there will be toys		
For the good girls and boys		
Reindeer heading our way		
As the Santa will come down the chimney above		
There's one thing I wanted to say		
		
*I wish everyday could be like Christmas		
And if I could have one wish come true		
I wish everyday could be		
Full of harmony		
I wish everyday could be like Christmas		
I do	

I saw a child asleep
Oh Mr Claus
Here in the eyes
He is those sent
Peace on earth falls
Now the old man calls
How we could say
That is the greatest gift
One you can give everyday

Repeat  *
	
Now the mistletoe 
And the house of lord
All the world seems at ease tonight 
And all I ask, deep precious moment passed 
Is working everyday, piece of pride
	
Repeat  *
	
Honest I do
Yes I do
Merry, merry Christmas




Please Come Home for Christmas
Jon Bon Jovi
		
Bells will be ringing the sad		
sad news		
Oh what a Christmas to have		
the blues		
My baby's gone (my baby's gone) 		
I have no friends		
To wish me greetings		
 once again		
			
Choirs will be singing Silent 		
Night		
Christmas carols by		
candlelight		
Please come home for		
Christmas (please come home)		
Please come home for		
Christmas (please come home)		
If not for Christmas by New		
Years night		
	
Friends and relations send
salutations
Just as sure as the stars shine
above (yes they do)
	
This is Christmas
Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the 
one you love
	
Then won't you tell me you'll 
never more roam
Christmas and New Year
(Christmas and New Year's)
will find you back home
There'll be no more sorrow no 
grief or pain
I'll be happy (happy) that it's 
Christmas once again





With a Little Help from My Friends
John Lennon/Mc Cartney

What would you do if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key, OH

I get by with a little help from my friends, MM...
I get high with a little help from my friends, MM...
Going to try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How Do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you're on your own)
No I get by with a little help from my friends, MM...
Get high with a little help from my friends, MM...
Gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Do you need Anybody
I need Somebody to love
Could it be Anybody
I want somebody to love

Would you believe in a love at first sight,
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light,
I can't tell you but I know it's mine
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends, MM...
I get high with a little help from my friends, MM...
OO I'm Gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Do you need Anybody

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends, MM...
Gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Shooting Star
Bad Company

Johnny was a school boy when he heard the first Beatles song
Love me do and I think it was from there and didn't take him long
The boy got himself a guitar that he used to play every night
Now he's in a rock-n-roll outfit everything's alright

Don't you know...

Johnny told his mama, he said, "mama, I'm gonna win
I'm gonna hit the big time, I'm gonna be a big star someday"

Mama came to the door with a tear drop dried in her eyes
Johnny said that "don't cry mama, smile and wave goodbye"

*Don't you know
 That you are a shooting star
 Don't you know
 You know you are a shooting star
 You know the world's gonna love you just as long
 As long as you are

Johnny made a record that went straight to number one
Suddenly everybody wanted to hear him singing songs
Watching the world go by surprising it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said "I've made the big time at last"

*

Yeah...yeah...yeah

Johnny died one night and died in his bed
A bottle of whiskey and sleeping tablets by his head
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day 
If you listened to the wind you can still hear him play

*



Because the Night
Springsteen/Smith

Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close try an understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
Stay with me now till the mornin' comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

What I got I have earned
What I'm not I have learned
Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe
Just stay in my bed till the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now

Because the night...

Your love is here and now
The vicious circle turns and burns without
Though I cannot live forgive me now
The time has come to take this moment and
They can't hurt you now

Because the night...




Starting all over Again
Bon Jovi

I've been waiting
Standing in the dark for hours
Trying to find the faith and the power to get back home to you

It's been a long time
Long time since I've seen your face
But on and on I could not replace
The fire that burns for you 
Yeah

So here's to the good times 
Here to the bad 
Here's to the memories that we all had
Here's to tomorrow let yesterday pass us by

Tonight we'll be starting all over again
And it feels like the first time I..... 
No I'll never feel this way again 
Starting all over again

Do you remember 
Remember the odds we were given, 
We had nothing and we thought that was living 
Lord and it's been such a long, long road
Long, long road

Here's to our old friends who helped us get by
Here's to the dreamers may their dreams never die 
If we beleive we can keep all the good times alive

Tonight we'll be starting all over again
And it feels like the first time I..... 
No I'll never feel this way again 

Whoa oh, tonight, we'll be starting all over again 
And it feels like the first time I..... 
Know whenever we're together my friends 
It's like starting all over again

Tonight, we'll be starting all over again 
And it feels like the first time I..... 
No I'll never feel this way again 
Whoa oh, tonight, we'll be starting all over again 
And it feel like the first time I..... 
Know whenever we're together my friends 
It's like starting all over again

I been waiting, standing in the dark for hours
Trying to find the faith and the power to start it all over again







Still more are coming...



Come to my Bon Jovi collection!
