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

Learning How To Fall

I was walking on a wire
Looking down, there was no net
Now, I'm standing at your door
Me and my last cigarette

Yeah we've been through this before
Too late to cover up my tracks
Damn the fool who begs for more
I'll take my past and paint it black

Now the circus has left town
This clown has got to get
His feet back on the ground

I'm learning how to fall
Learning how to take a hit
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
Now I'm learning how to fall
Yeah, I got the hang of it

I was standing in the light
There were faces all around
I put my gloves up for a fight
One sucker punch and I was down

I'm learning how to fall
Learning how to take a hit
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
I'm learning how to fall
Yeah, I got the hang of it

I was flying through the clouds
Pucker up
It's time to kiss the ground

I'm learning how to fall
Learning how to take a hit
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
I'm learning how to fall
Now I got the hang of it

Let It Rock

The weekend comes to this town
Seven days too soon
For the ones who have to make up
What we break of their rules
Well I saw Captain Kidd on Sunset
Tell his boys they're in command
While Chino danced a tango
With a broomstick in his hand
He said: It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
To break on through the other side

Let it rock, let it go
You can't stop a fire burning out of control
Let it rock, let it go
With the night you're on the loose
You got to let it rock

We go down to the Broadway
Where everybody goes
To get on their rockin' horse
And blast that radio
Well I saw Roxie on the table
Her girlfriend down below
They'll give it to the King of Swing
Before it's time to go
It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
To break on through the other side

Let it rock, let it go
You can't stop a fire burning out of control
Let it rock, let it go
You can't stop a fire burning out of control
Let it rock, let it go
With the night you're on the loose
You got to let it rock

Lie To Me

Rumour has it that your daddy's coming down
He's gonna pay the rent
Tell me baby, is this as good as this life is gonna get
It feels like there's a stranger standing in this shoes
But, I know I can't be lose me, 'cause then I'd be losing you

I know I promised baby
I would be the one to make our dreams come true
I ain't too proud of all the strungles
And the hard times we've been through
When this cold world comes between us
Please tell me you'll be brave
'Cause I can realise the danger
When forgiveness fades away

If you don't love me - lie to me
'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be
Right now if you don't love me baby - lie to me

Pour another cup of coffee, baby
I got something to say to you
I ain't got the winning ticket
Not the one that's gonna pull us through
No one said it'd be easy, let your old man take you home
But know if you walk out on me
That darling, I'll be gone

If you don't love me - lie to me
'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be
Right now if you don't love me baby - lie to me
Baby, I can take it

It's bitch, but life's a roller coster ride
The ups and downs can make you scream sometimes
It's hard believing that the thrill is gone
But we gotta go around again, so let's hold on

If you don't love me - lie to me
'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be
Right now if you can't love me baby - lie to me
Go on, lie to me
Baby, I can take it
C'mon, lie to me

Little Bit Of Soul

You been robbed
You been used
You been crucified and abused
You been sacrificed and
Now you're confused
Ain't it the truth

You got a hole in your head
And this cold empty spot
In your big brass bed
When you're mad at the world
And you feel like you're losing control
All that you need to get by
Is a little bit o soul

When you're lost in the flood
And feel like you been
Kicked through the mud
You know they still
Haven't found the drug
To pick us up

Feeling down
Misunderstood, you know
These times they ain't looking so good
When you're mad at the world
And you feel like you're losing control
What we need to survive
Is a little bit o soul
Little bit of soul
Little bit of soul

Everyone's complaining
Nothing but frustration
The king has pissed in
Your pot of gold
It ain't entertaining spending
So much time in the whole
Send down a little bit

Mad at the world
And you feel like you're losing control
What we all need to get by
Is just a little bit of soul
Little bit of soul
Little bit of soul

Little City

I got my call light on
Gimme one more fare tonight
Just get me over the bridge
I can see those shiny bay lights
You know I'm never alone
But I'm feeling lonely tonight
Damn, I got my last cigarette
But I ain't got not light

God let these wheels roll
To where the girls are pretty
When the nights explode
And life is still living
Down this open road
The arms of pity
Wait to greet me tonight
In little city

In my rear view mirror
I see someone else's hairline
I hear that fire in your eyes
Is on the rock and doing hard time
And the grapes of wrath, they're on the vine
There's wine in this dirt
Here love ain't love
It's just another four letter word

God let these wheels roll
To where the girls are pretty
When the nights explode
And life is still living
Down this open road
The arms of pity
Wait to greet me tonight
In little city

Now that cold gray fog's
Just a rolling down the highway
He's come to carry me home
It's put a little smile on my face

Living In Sin

I don't no license
To sign on no line
And I don't need no preacher
To tell me you're mine
I don't need no diamonds
I don't need new bride
I just need you, baby
To look me in the eye

I know they have a hand time
And your Daddy don't approve
But I don't need your Daddy
Telling us what we should do
Now there's a million questions
I could ask about our lives
But I only need one answer
To get me through the night

So I say baby, can you tell me just where we fit in
I call it love they call it living in sin
Is it you and me or just his world we live in
I say we're living on love they say we're living in sin

Is it right for both our parents
Who fight it out most nights
Then pray for God's forgivness
When they both turn out the lights
Or wear that ring of diamonds
When your heart is made of stone
You can talk but still say nothing
You stay together but alone

Or is it right to hold you
And kiss your lips goodnight
They say the promise is forever
If you sign it on the dotted line

Baby, can you tell me just wher we fit in
I call it love they call it living in sin
Is it you and me or just this world we live in
I say we're living on love they say we're living in sin
Baby, can you tell me just wher we fit in
I call it love they call it living in sin
Is it you and me or just this world we live in
I say we're living on love they say we're living in sin
I call it love they call it living in sin
Living in sin
I don't know where to begin
I don't know where we fit in
Living in sin

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

Love For Sale

Well I wake up this morning
I rolled out of bed
I felt like a dog who's been kicked in the head
Checked out my mail there was letter that read
Love for sale, love for sale
I picked up the phone
I called everyone I could
I let my fingers do the walking through the telephone book
You can't catch a fish if you ain't got the hook
Love for sale, love for sale
Send up a signal throw me a line
Somebody say " this funny Valentine"
It might not be legal but it sure ain't a crime
I'm one step from crazy and two steps behind
I called Lt. Columbo from my TV set
I've tried the Dating Game I haven't found her yet
I'm hoping that she's looking like a Penthouse Pet
Love for sale, love for sale

We've been living together 3 years, 2 hours, 20 minutes maybe four houndred beers
You can't shop for love when you're shopping at Sears
Love for sale, love for sale
I guess I've learnt my lesson it was easy to see
My old lady she played this joke on me
I never looked where I forgot it would be
Love for sale, love for sale

Love Lies

I was lost, then I found you I never thought it would be this way
Showed you my heart I left it unguarded
Like a thief in the night You stole it away
Now you're gone the pain goes on and on
I still hear you whispering to me
Through the shadows of the night

Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines
You're running on into a cold night
Just a number to the love lies
All alone you call it survival
He lost at love to a stranger's lines
Walking the streets searching with a vengeance
For a face that he dreams of night after night

Time goes on all signs of life stolen
Simple dreams were all broken
Best of times become desperation
But how many tears must you cry to survive

Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines
You're running on into a cold night
Just a number to the love lies
They met late one night in the city
Both men knew only one would stay
Scratched a picture of a heart on a bullet
And took his life away
