Livin'
On A Prayer
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 prayer
Tommy 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
Keep The Faith
Mother
mother tell your children
That their time has just begun
I have suffered for my anger
There are wars that can't be won
Father father please believe me
I am laying down my guns
I am broken like arrow
Forgive me, forgive your wayward son
Everybody needs somebody to love
(Mother mother)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(Please believe me)
Everybody's bitchin'
'Cause they can't get enough
And it's hard to hold on
When there's no one to lean on
Faith: you know your gonna live through the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't you 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 faith
Tell me baby when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside
Do you tell me all's forgiven
And just hide behind your pride
Everybody needs somebody to love
(Mother father)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(Please don't leave me)
Everybody's bitchin'
'Cause they can't get enough
And it's hard to be strong
When there's no one to dream of
Faith: you know your gonna live through the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: now you know it's not to late
Oh you got to keep the faith
Right now we got to
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faith
I've been walking in the footsteps
Of society's lies
I don't like what see no more
Sometimes I wish that I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever
To stand out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin'
Trying to wash away the pain
Mother father
There's things I've done I can't erase
Every night we fall from grace
It's hard with the world in your face
Trying to hold, trying to hold on
Faith: you know your gonna live through the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't you 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, try to hold on
Keep the faith
Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
Hey man,
I'm alive
I'm taking each day a night at a time
I'm feeling like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
Hey
my name is Jim
Where did I go wrong
My life's a bargain basement
All the good shits gone
I just can't hold a job
Where do I belong
Been sleeping in my car
My dreams moved on
My name is Billie Jean
My
love's been bought and sold
I'm only 16 I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went and
Took my innocence away
The street life ain't much better
But at least I'm getting paid
Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey man, I'm alive
I'm taking each day a night at a time
Yeah I'm down but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey man
I've got to live my life
Like I ain't got nothing
But this roll of the dice
I'm feeling like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
Now I can't say my name
Or tell you where I am
I wanna blow myself away
But I don't know if I can
I wish that I could be
In someother time and place
With some-one else's soul
And some-one else's face
Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey man, I'm alive
I'm taking each day a night at a time
Yeah I'm down but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey man,
I've got to live my life
I'm gonna pick uppon the pieces
And what was left of my pride
I'm feeling like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
Someday I'll be Saturday night
I'll be back on my feet
I'll be doing alright
It may not be tomorrow
Baby that's OK
I ain't going down
Gonna find a way...
Hey man, I'm alive
I'm taking each day a night at a time
Yeah I'm down but I know I'll get by
Hey hey hey hey man
I've got to live my life
Like I ain't got nothing
But this roll of the dice
I'm feeling like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
I'm feeling like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
Always
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
Yeah 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
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 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
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 till the end of time
Yeah 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 die for you - I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say those words to you
Well there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But Baby if you give 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
Yeah 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
I know when I die you'll be on my mind
And I love you,
Always
Wanted Dead Or Alive
It's
all the same, only the names have changed
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 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 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
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
Lay Your Hands On Me
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 breaking
What 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 you
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
All you got to do is
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me
I'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 down
Everything 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 you
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
All you got to do is
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me
Don't you know I only aim to please
If you want me to lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me
All
you got to do is
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me
You Give Love A Bad Name
An
angel's smile is what you sell
You promised 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
You give love a bad name
Bed Of Roses
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 dead
With an ironclad fist
I wake up and French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
It's 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 your all that I need
I want to lay down on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well I'm so far away
That each step thatI take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give 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 true
I want to lay down on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeepers wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I'd died
Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonight 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 to you that I'd die to defend
I want to lay down on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Blaze of Glory
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 wind
When 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 can
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
You 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 vain
Shot 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 gun
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 stand
Shot 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
Bad Medicine

I'll Be There For You
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 suicide
You 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 anymore
Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
I 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 yesterday
And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drink, I'll be the wine
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
And I wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
In And Out Of Love
Young
and wired
Set to explode in the heat
You won't tire
Cause baby was born with the beat
Take you higher than you've ever known
Then drive you down to your knees
I pick you up when you've had enough
You been burned baby lessons learned
In 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 enough
She'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 me
In 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 forever
In 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...
Runaway
On
the streets 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 you life all you asked
When is your Daddy gonna talk to you
But you were living in another world
Tryin' to get a message through
No one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going round your head
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
Guarantee to blow your mind
I see you out on the streets
Call me for a wild time
So you sit at home
'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 night
on the neon Broadway signs
And 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 you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going round your head
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway

In These Arms
You want
commitment,
Take a look into these eyes
They burn with fire
Until the end of time
I would to 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
And I would give anything,
My blood, my love, my life
If you were in these arms tonight
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
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you 'till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight
We stared at the sun
And we made a promise
A promise this world
Would never blind us
These are my words
Our words are our songs
Our songs are our prayers
These prayers keep me strong
And I still believe
If you were in these arms...
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
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you 'till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight
Your clothes are still scattered
All over our room
This whole place still smells like
Your cheap perfume
Everything here reminds me of you
There's nothing I wouldn't do..
And these
were our words
They
keep me strong
Baby...
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
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you 'till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms tonight
Baby...
Like the roses need the rain
Like the seasons need to change
Like the poets need the pain
I need you in these arms tonight
Never Say Goodbye
As I sit in this smoky room
The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
But this bottles 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 back seat
Remember when we used to talk
About busting out
W e'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 out favourite 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
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
