Livin' On A Prayer
Once upon a time ... not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Unions been on strike, he's down on his luck
Its 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 gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other, and thats a lot
For love ... we'll give it a shot
We're halfway 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
She cries in the nightime, Tommy whispers:
Baby it's okay, someday
We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other, and thats a lot
For love ... we'll give it a shot
We're halfway 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 halfway 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 an arrow
Forgive me
Forgive your wayward son
Everybody needs somebody to love (mother, mother)
Everybody needs somebody to hate (please believe me)
Everybody's bitching cos they can't get enough
And it's hard to hold on when there's no-one to lean on
Faith: you know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord you gotta keep the faith
Faith: don't you let your love turn to hate
Right now we gotta keep the faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Lord we gotta 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 love (please don't leave me)
Everybody's bleeding cos the times are rough
Well it's hard to be strong, when there's no-one to dream on
Faith: you know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord you gotta keep the faith
Now you know is never too late
Oh you gotta 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
I've been walking in the footsteps
Of societys lies
I don't like what I see no more
Sometimes I wish I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever to stand out in the rain
So no-one sees me crying, trying to wash away the pain
Mother Father
There's things I've done I can't erase
Everynight we fall from grace
It's hard with the world in your face
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on
Faith: you know you're 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 you know is not too late
Try to hold on, trying to hold on
Keep the faith...
Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
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 night
Hey 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
Been sleeping in my car, my dreams move on
My 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'm getting paid
And Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays Fridays aint been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey man, I'm alive
I'm taking each day and night at a time
Yeah I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man I gotta live my life
Like I aint 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 want to blow myself away, don't know if I can
I wish that I could be in some other time and place
With someone elses soul, someone elses face
Oh, Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays aint been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey, man I'm alive
I'm taking each day and night at a time
Yeah I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man I gotta live my life
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces and whats left of my pride
I'm feeling like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night
Saturday night
Here we go
Someday I'll be Saturday night
I'll be back on my feet, I'll be doing all right
It may not be tomorrow baby, thats ok
I aint going down, gonna find a way
Hey, hey, hey
Man I'm alive I'm taking each day and night at a time
Yeah I'm down, but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey man I'm gonna live my life
Like I aint 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
Saturday night ... all right
All right ... all right
Saturday night
Always
This romeo is bleeding, but you can't see his blood
Its nothing but some feelings, that this old dog kicked up
Its 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 its meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, thats just me
And 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
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 wish I was him, that those words were mine
To say to you till 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 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 aint no luck, in this 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
Yeah and 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
Always ...
Wanted Dead Or Alive
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
The people I meet, always go their seperate 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'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted ... dead or alive
And I walk these streets
A loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, cos 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
Dead or alive .... dead or alive
Dead or alive ...
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 me, 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 aint always what you see
But satisfaction is guarenteed
They say what you give is always what you need
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
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Now listen up
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
Your satisfaction is a guarentee
But the ride don't never ever come for free, no
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
Oh baby, don't you know
I only aim to please
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
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Watcha gotta do is
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 me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
You Give Love A Bad Name
Shot through the heart, and your to blame, darling
You give love a bad name
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 ... yeah
There's nowhere to run
No-one can save me, the damage is done
Shot through the heart, and your 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 boys 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 your 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.....
Shot through the heart and your to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
Shot through the heart and your 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....
You give love a bad name
You give love....
You give love a bad name
You give love....
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 vodkas still lodged in my hand
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead
With an iron clad 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, the truth, and what you mean to me
And the truth is ... baby you're all that I need
I want to lay you down in 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
Each step that I takes on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
To see through this payphone
Still I run out of time or its hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to me
I'll just close my eyes, and whisper
Baby, blind love is true
I want to lay you down in 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 this hotel bars hangover whiskeys gone dry
The bar keepers wigs crooked, and shes giving me the eye
Well I might've said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I 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 you that I'd die to defend
I want to lay you down in 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...
I want to lay you down in 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 nights 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, yeah
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 Able
Mr catch me if you can
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
And 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 its like to sing songs in the rain
Well, I've seen love come, 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 blazy of glory
Lord I never drew first but I drew first blood
I'm the devils son, call me young gun
Each night I go to bed, I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No I aint looking for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord, I gotta ask a favour
And I 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-ones son, call me young gun
I'm a young gun
Young gun, young gun...
In These Arms
You want commitment, well take a look into these eyes
They burn with fire, yeah, 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
And I would give anything
My blood, my love, my life
If you were in these arms tonight
I'd hold ya, I'd need ya
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love ya, I'd please ya
I'd tell you that I'd never leave ya
And love you til 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
And these were our words
Our words were 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 ya, I'd need ya
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything all right
If you were in these arms
I'd love ya, I'd please ya
I'd tell you that I'd never leave ya
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
Theres nothing I wouldn't do
And these were our words, they keep me strong
Baby...
I'd hold ya, I'd need ya
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything all right
If you were in these arms
I'd love ya, I'd please ya
I'd tell you that I'd never leave ya
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 ... baby....
Like the roses need the rain, like the seasons need the change
Like the poet needs the pain
I need you ... in these arms tonight

I'll Be There For You
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
Well as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love its suicide
You say you've 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
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 wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
Well I can't 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 drunk, I'll be the wine
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you
When you breathe I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
I wasn't there when you were happy
And I wasn't there when you were down
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 wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for ...
I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you
When you breathe I wanna be the air for you

I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you ...
In And Out Of Love
In and out of love, in and out of love
In and out of love, in and out of love
In and out of love, 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've 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
Shes gonna get ya
Running wild, when me and my boys hit the streets
Right on time, shes 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 sayin'
In and out of love
Its the way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
Shes gonna get ya
Out of love, out of love
Out of love, out of love
In and out of love, in and out of love
In and out of love, in and out of love
In and out of love, in and out of love
In and out of love, in and out of love
In and out of love ...
You want me to meet your ... what?
Your daddy is who?
Hey, just how old are you anyway?
Oh no ...
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 your life, all your life, all you've asked is whens 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 in it your eyes, what was going round your head
Ooh, shes a little runaway
Daddys girl learned fast all those things he couldn't say
Ooh, shes a little runaway
A different line every night, guarenteed to blow your mind
I see you out on the streets, calling for a wild time
So you sit home alone cause theres nothing left that you can do
Theres only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you
You know she likes the lights at night on the neon Broadway sign
She don't really mind, its only love she hoped to find
Ooh, shes a little runaway
Daddys girl learned fast all those things he couldn't say
Ooh, shes 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, shes a little runaway
Daddys girl learned fast all those things he couldnt say
Ooh, shes a little runaway
Daddys girl learned fast, now she works the night away
Ooh, shes a little runaway
Daddys girl learned fast all those things he couldnt say
Ooh, shes a little runaway
Daddys girl learned fast, now she works the night away ...
Never Say Goodbye
As I sit in this smokey 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 on my backseat baby
Remember how 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
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on we've got to try, holdin' on to never say goodbye
Remember days of skipping school
Racing cars and being cool
With a six pack and a 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 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
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on, we've got to try, holdin' on to never say goodbye
And 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
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on, we've got to try, holdin' on to never say goodbye
Yeah, yeah ...
