Bon Jovi Lyrics
Homebound Train lyrics - Bon Jovi
When I was just a boy
The devil took my hand
Took me from my home
He made me a man
So, don't talk to me about sympathy now
'Cause you can't dance if you
Take a chance on your rosary
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On the homebound train
It's been a millions years
That I been gone
I been everywhere, now I'm heading home
Been a lot of girls, but
There's a woman I know
Said don't take no plane
Better take a train
'Cause I like it real slow
All the way back home
On the homebound train
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On the homebound train
I'm on my way
I'm heading home
To be with my baby
Where I belong
Coming down the tracks now
See, I done my time
I'm going back now
To that home of mine
Well, here I come baby
Here I come baby
Here I come baby
All the way back home
On that homebound train
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On that homebound train
Judgement Day lyrics - Bon Jovi
You take and you take without giving
Like the ride is never going to end
You think you know who's going to heaven
Well I know I'm going to see you again
On Judgment Day
Others, they walk the bad road
If you do you better watch what you say
You think that you can hide in your shadow
But it's your shadow gonna ruin your way
On Judgement Day
You walk through the fire
Nowhere to run and no one to blame
'Cause, hey, hey, hey
Winners and losers, sinners and users, will all have to pay
On Judgement Day
Some people they call me brother
Some people they say that they care
Some people they steal from the heavens above
It's gonna be a cross to bear
On Judgement Day
You walk through the fire
With nowhere to run and no one to blame
Well, hey, hey, hey
Winners and losers, sinners and users, will all have to pay
On Judgement Day
Hey, hey, hey
It's just me and you
I don't wanna fade away
Let's face up to the truth
It's our own Judgement Day
On Judgement Day
You walk through the fire
Nowhere to run and no one to blame
Well, hey, hey, hey
Winners and losers, sinners and users, will all have to pay
On Judgement Day
On Judgement Day
On Judgement Day
On Judgement Day
Full Moon High lyrics - Bon Jovi
"Go ahead"
"One, two, three, four"
A penny for your thoughts now baby, tell me what you see
You know I wanna to play with you but this ain't hide and seek
With me
Can't you see?
I know your mamma don't approve of what I'm thinking of
You gave me just a little piece but it just ain't enough
You say stop
I say go
I say yeah
You say no, no, no, no, no
I just can't wait
'Cause I do stop much too late and only you can save me now
You know I've been to heaven and the other side
We can share our dreams together
With the full moon high
We'll remember the night forever
It's just you and I
River of love and the full moon high
Oh, full moon high
Pretend I'm Valentino and you're the beauty queen
Pretend we're in some movie instead of faded jeans
You and me we're the same just believe there's so much more to see
Oh baby save me now
Oh, I've been to heaven and the other side
We can share our dreams together with the full moon high
We'll remember the night forever, it's just you and I
River of love and the full moon high
Full moon high
Oh, full moon high
You know I've been to heaven and the other side
We can share our dreams together with the full moon high
We'll remember the night forever, it's just you and I
River of love and the full moon high
Ooh, full moon high
Full moon high
Baby you and I, full moon high
"OK"
Growin' Up The Hard Way lyrics - Bon Jovi
Growing up the hard way
We're growing up the hard way
She's got a blue tattoo on the back of her hand
that says "I love you" from the boys in the band
She's been living on the run for almost a year
Her daddy would abuse her, she's been living in fear
She's got a diamond in her teeth and a leather beret
She knows every city street from New York to LA
She's got little girl eyes
And her heart's made of stone
I guess you gotta grow up fast
When you're out on your own
Try to hold your head up high
You live and then you die
Can someone tell me why
Growing up the hard way
Learning how to live with the pain
The weight of the world on your shoulders
I guess that's just the price that you pay
Growing up the hard way
It's getting harder every day
Lying in a bed made of fire
Praying to God for some rain
Growing up the hard way
He was the pride and joy of his family
He always was the good boy they told him he'd be
But no one knew the anger that was building up inside
He was drinking from the bottle
That his old man used to hide
He stole a rented car off of Route 35
And when he gunned it I heard him scream
"Straight to hell I'm gonna drive!"
Then the cops came out of nowhere
And that truck got in his way
I'm sorry, Mrs. Johnson, that it had to end this way
Try to hold your head up high
You live and then you die
Can someone tell me why
Growing up the hard way
Learning how to live with the pain
The weight of the world on your shoulders
I guess that's just the price that you pay
Growing up the hard way
It's getting harder every day
Lying in a bed made of fire
Praying to God for some rain
Growing up the hard way, growing up the hard way
Growing up the hard way, growing up the hard way
Try to hold your head up high
Growing up the hard way
Learning how to live with the pain
The weight of the world on your shoulders
I guess that's just the price that you pay
Growing up the hard way
It's getting harder every day
Lying in a bed made of fire
Praying to God for some rain
Growing up the hard way, growing up the hard way
Growing up the hard way
Growing up the hard way, growing up the hard way
Let's Make It Baby lyrics - Bon Jovi
When I look in your eyes I can feel the fire
A see through disguise can't conceal desire
I've been reading your lips, they don't need no translation
They want more than a kiss, I come to make my donation
So turn out the lights, I'm going down slowly
Don't tell me what's right
Just tell me you want me
Tell me you want me
Just tell me you want me, want me, want me
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Come, come, come a little bit closer, I want to play doctor
It keeps getting harder, harder, harder to keep me away
I want to taste the sweat that's running off of your body
Get the sheets all wet, I want to make you feel naughty
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Turn out the lights
Don't tell me you love me
Just tell me you want me
Don't tell me you love me
Tell me you want me, want me, want me
Want me, want me, want me, want me
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Love Hurts lyrics - Bon Jovi
I go to work, beds aren't made
Honeymoon's over, bills aren't paid
What happened to us? Do we battle too much?
Man loves a woman, it's never enough
A love that won't bleed me of money and time
I run to the shelter of your arms tonight
We sit at the table at the end of the day
A couple of drinks, the pain goes away
I know we're both too tough to cry
No one knows the reasons why
Love hurts, hurts you inside
From the day that you're born to the day that you die
Love hurts, the hurt goes away
Hold on to your heart, we'll make it someday
Love hurts, love hurts
Weapons of love they'll sting and they'll burn ya
But you've got it beat yeah, if you play out your hand
'Til death do us part to the end of the line
'Cause words at the altar still burn in my mind
Just can't stand to see you cry
When no one knows those reasons why
Love hurts, hurts you inside
From the day that you're born to the day that you die
Love hurts, the hurt goes away
Hold on to your heart we'll make it someday
Love hurts, when it needs you
Love hurts, when it bleeds you
Love hurts, when it bleeds you
Love hurts
Sometimes we're so afraid to try
Well sometimes it's alright to cry
Love hurts, hurts you inside
From the day that you're born to the day that you die
Love hurts, the hurt goes away
Hold on to your heart we'll make it someday
Love hurts, hurts you inside
From the day that you're born to the day that you die
When it needs you
When it bleeds you
When it bleeds you
When it wants you
Backdoor To Heaven lyrics - Bon Jovi
Well, now we're alone
My heart's in your hands
I need someone to love
Can't I be your friend?
I feel your innocence, baby
Won't you give it to me tonight?
I need someone to save me
To keep me warm, because it's cold outside
Oh, won't you help me, baby?
Don't you hide now
Won't you take me, darling
For a ride now?
You've got me begging on my knees
You've gotta let me in, let me in, let me in
The backdoor to Heaven
Is in your arms tonight
You're my backdoor to Heaven
So, baby, let me in, let me in, let me in
You make it so hard
To open your door
I know you're an angel
Just never, never flown before
I'm in the dark, won't you give me some light now?
Come on and tell us, baby
What's wrong and right now
You've got me begging on my, on my knees
Oh, won't you let me in, let me in, let me in
The backdoor to Heaven
It's in your arms tonight
You're my backdoor to Heaven
Yeah, baby
Won't you let me in, let me in, let me in
Oh, I'm just a sinner, but this ain't no sin
So let me in, let me in, let me in, let me in, let me in
The backdoor to Heaven
Is in your arms to Heaven
You're my backdoor to Heaven
You gotta let me in, let me in, let me in
The backdoor to Heaven
Yeah, baby, it's my time
You're my backdoor to Heaven
Let me in...
Now And Forever lyrics - Bon Jovi
It's been a long time, baby, how've you been
But it sure feels good to see you again, my friend
I still remember just like yesterdays
Though the miles and the smiles roll on, they won't fade away
And it hurts just like hell to let go, but I know
Kings will be kings with crowns to defend
But I'm just one man and I can't pretend
A heart's just a heart and songs have to end
Dreams will be dreams and friends will be friends
Now and forever, now and forever
I still remember when you didn't know my name
We were lost on the road but you made it my home just the same
God I wanna say that you gotta hold on when we go our separate ways
But when your radio's on, you're hearing this song
I hope that you say nothing's changed
Kings will be kings with crowns to defend
But I'm just one man and I can't pretend
A heart's just a heart and songs have to end
Dreams will be dreams and friends will be friends
Now and forever, now and forever
Kings will be kings with crowns to defend
But I'm just one man and I can't pretend
A heart's just a heart and songs have to end
Now dreams will be dreams and friends will be friends
Now and forever, now and forever
Wild Is The Wind lyrics - Bon Jovi
I tried to make you happy
Lord knows I tried so hard to be
What you hoped that I would be
I gave you what wanted
God couldn't give you what you need
You wanted more from me
Than I could ever be
You wanted heart and soul
But you didn't know, baby
Wild, wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through
Wild, wild is the wind
That blows through my heart
Wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
You got to understand, baby
Wild is the wind
You need someone to hold you
Somebody to be there night and day
Someone to kiss your fears away
I just went on pretending
Too weak, too proud, too tough to say
I couldn't be the one
To make your dreams come true
That's why I had to run
Though I needed you, baby
Wild, wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through
Wild, wild is the wind
That blows through my heart tonight
And tears us apart
Wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
You got to understand, baby
Wild is the wind
Maybe a better man
Would live and die for you
Baby, a better man would
Never say goodbye to you
Wild, wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through
Wild, wild is the wind
That blows through my heart
Wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
You got to understand, baby
Wild is the wind
Stick To Your Guns lyrics - Bon Jovi
So you wanna be a cowboy
Well, you know it's more than just a ride
Guess you gotta know the real thing
If you're gonna know the other side
Ain't nobody riding shotgun
In the world tonight
And when you spit, you better mean it
You better make 'em all believe it
If you're gonna be the one, whoa-oh
Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can pull the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will curse you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to
So you wanna be the big time
Some people gonna drag you down
There's no living in the backseat (Backseat)
If you're gonna drive through town
And when you pray for independence
Boy, you better stand your ground
You gotta give it all you got now
Or you might get shot down
You fight hard until the battle is won, whoa-oh
Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will curse you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, you know that I been through it
I got the scars to prove it
You fight hard and the battle is yours, whoa-oh
Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will curse you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to
But stick to your guns, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Stick to your guns, whoa-oh-oh-oh
So you wanna be a cowboy
Well, you know it's more than just a ride
I guess you gotta know the real thing
If you're gonna know the other side
House Of Fire lyrics - Bon Jovi
(originally by Alice Cooper)
House of fire
House of fire, baby
Let's build a house of fire, baby
Not one of wood or stone
Walk through my door of desire, baby
Come on let's make it our home
Don't need no window to watch you, baby
Don't need no roof overhead
I don't need no key to unlock you, baby
I'll use my lovin' instead
I won't tire
Take me higher
Building a house of fire, baby
Building it with our love
We are building a house of fire
Every time we touch
House of fire
House of fire
We don't need to pay rent now, baby
No landlord to throw us out
I want to play in your garden, baby
When you want it give me a shout
I won't tire
Take me higher
Building a house of fire, baby
Building it with our love
We are building a house of fire
Every time we touch
We are building this house together, baby
Standing on solid ground
We are building a house of fire
That you can't tear down
Brick by brick the flames get higher
Build it strong with our desire
Building a house of fire, baby
Building it with our love
We are building a house of fire
Every time we touch
We are building this house together, baby
Standing on solid ground
We are building a house of fire
That you can't tear down
Building a house of fire, baby
Building it with our love
We are building a house of fire
Every time we touch
Does Anybody Really Fall In Love Anymore? lyrics - Bon Jovi
I walk down the street
People passing me by
They look you up and down
But they don't look you in the eye
I'm just another stranger in my own hometown
Looking for an angel but heaven can't be found
I said hey, I'm lonely tonight
Hey, hey, hey, I'm gonna make it through
But that don't make it right
Does anybody really fall in love anymore
Does anybody really give their heart to somebody
Does anybody really ever open that door
You've gotta to find somebody
I've got to find somebody to love
There's a sad face in the mirror
I'm sad to say it's me
Like a ghost up in the attic
Only love can set him free
I've been running 'round in circles
On this roller coaster ride
There's a lonely world around us
We get sucked in by the tide
I said hey, love ain't no crime
So why is everybody so afraid to cross that line
Does anybody really fall in love anymore
Does anybody really give their heart to somebody
Does anybody really ever open that door
I've got to find somebody to love
Find me someone to love
I said hey, I'll be alright
Because I know that someone, somewhere
Is gonna say those words tonight
Does anybody really fall in love anymore
Does anybody really give their heart to somebody
Does anybody really ever open that door
I've got to find somebody...
Diamond Ring lyrics - Bon Jovi
Diamond ring, wear it on your hand
Gonna tell the world I'm your only man
Diamond ring, diamond ring
Baby, you're my everything
Diamond ring
Red, red rose, brought it home to you
Blood red rose, tells me that you're true
Red, red rose, blood-red rose
Like a fire inside that grows
Blood-red rose
When you're hungry, I will fill you up
When you're thirsty, drink out of my loving cup
When you're crying, I will be the tears for you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
When you're hungry, I will fill you up
When you're thirsty, drink out of my loving cup
When you're crying, I will be the tears for you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do...
You know, you know I bleed every night you sleep
Because I don't know if I'm in your dreams
I want to be your everything...
Diamond ring, wear it on your hand
Gonna tell the world I'm your only man
Diamond ring, diamond ring
Baby, you're my everything
Diamond ring
Darling, you're my everything
Diamond ring
Now, you've got me on your string...
Diamond ring

Because We Can lyrics - Bon Jovi
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand (that's right)
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand
Because we can
She's in the kitchen staring out the window
So tired of living life in black and white
Right now she's missing those technicolor kisses
When he turns down the lights
Lately, he's feeling like a broken promise
In the mirror staring down his doubt
There's only one thing in this world that he knows
He said forever and he'll never let her down
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand (that's right)
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand
Because we can
TV and takeout on the coffee table
Paper dishes, pour a glass of wine
Turn down the sound and move a little closer
And for the moment everything is alright
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand (that's right)
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand
Because we can
Because we can, our love can move a mountain
We can, if you believe in we
We can, just wrap your arms around me
We can, we can
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean (I don't wanna be)
I am a rock not just another grain of sand ( Oh yeah)
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand (I am a, I am a, I am a)
Because we can
I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand (that's right)
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand
Because we can
(Because we can) Our love can move a mountain
We can, if you believe in we (Our love can move a mountain)
We can, just wrap your arms around me (Because we can)
We can, we can
Because we can
I'm With You lyrics - Bon Jovi
Look at this world
It's filled with worn out faces
Forgotten places and nothing changes
Whatever happened to that new day rising
We're just surviving when living is dying
Aren't you tired of being let down?
Another day, another shakedown
I'm with you
When hope is gone and all you want is the truth
(I'm with you)
You carry on when they say, "It's no use"
(I'm with you)
(I'm with you)
If I got one thing, I got something to prove
We all got nothing if there's nothing to lose
(I'm with you)
I walk in shadows that seem all familiar
I've read the papers, life forsaken
A vacant store front, and one more "For Sale" sign
Down on main street you just walk by
How many times we gotta break down
Before somebody's gonna shout out?
I'm with you
When hope is gone and all you want is the truth
(I'm with you)
You carry on when they say, "It's no use"
(I'm with you)
(I'm with you)
If I got one thing, I got something to prove
We all got nothing if there's nothing to lose
(I'm with you)
When hope is gone and all you want is the truth
(I'm with you)
You carry on when they say, "It's no use" (you say, "It's no use")
Well, I've got one thing, I got something to prove
We all got nothing if there's nothing to lose
I'm with you, I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you
What About Now lyrics - Bon Jovi
You wanna start a fire
It only takes a spark
You gotta get behind the wheel
If you're ever gonna drive that car
If you wanna take a bite
You'd better have the teeth
If you're gonna take that step
Then get up off of your knees
'Cause tonight we're alive
Who'll stand for the restless and the lonely?
For the desperate and the hungry?
Down for the count, I'm hearing you now
For the faithful, the believer
For the faceless and the teachers
Stand up and be proud
What about now?
You wanna start a fight
You gotta take a swing
You gotta get your hands in the dirt
To see what the harvest will bring
You wanna raise your voice
Don't be scared to breathe
Don't be afraid to hurt
Don't be ashamed in need
'Cause tonight we're alive
Who'll stand for the restless and the lonely?
For the desperate and the hungry?
Down for the count, I'm hearing you now
For the faithful, the believer
For the faceless and the teachers
Stand up and be proud
What about now?
The leaves fall like reasons that drift through the seasons
'Til dreams are just fade dark and grey
And all of your plans that slip right through your hands
Are just things that you take to your grave
'Cause tonight we're alive
Who'll stand for the restless and the lonely?
For the desperate and the hungry?
Down for the count, I'm hearing you now
For the faithful, the believer
For the faceless and the teachers
Stand up and be proud
What about now?
What about now?
What about now?
What about now?
Pictures Of You lyrics - Bon Jovi
I feel just like Picasso
And you're my masterpiece
I painted you a lifetime
Now what's left are memories
Sunlight's in the curtains
Diamonds in the trees
I gave you colors blue and gold
As you lay upon the sheets
Something so familiar drawn from this blank page
Every line from my hand takes me back to what I can't erase
No matter how I try, no matter what I do
I'm still painting pictures of you
I could almost smell your perfume
In each brush stroke of the flowers
I left you tea from China
Waiting in your sacred tower
Something so familiar drawn from this blank page
Every line from my hand takes me back to what I can't erase
No matter how I try, no matter what I do
I'm still painting pictures of you
If I should go crazy, if I would go blind
I'd still fill the canvas from the pictures in my mind
If that's the only way to make you mine
It was something so familiar
Drawn from this blank page
Every line from my hand takes me back to what I can't erase
No matter how I try, no matter what I do
I'm still painting pictures, I'm always painting pictures
Still painting pictures of you
Amen lyrics - Bon Jovi
Last night I had a dream
The dream I had was true
I fell through the stars
When walking on the moon
Burned like a thousand candles in her arms
Her skin under my fingertips
The honeysuckle on her lips
Sweeter than a man deserves to taste
Mercy, mercy, what else can I say?
But amen, amen, amen
Last night we were born together
It was like we'd always been
She'll be with me forever
If I don't see her again
We poured the wine until our cup ran over
Unfolding like a mystery
Inside of her like poetry
A thousand horses running through my veins
Mercy, mercy, what else can I say?
Amen, amen, amen
I laid down in her garden
Naked on her floor
Windows up, the curtains blowing
She don't lock the door
Amen
Amen
At the banquet table
A beggar at a feast
I felt her tongue between my lips
And I forgot to breathe
We stayed there 'til the candles burned the carpet
Last night I had a dream
The dream I had was true
Mercy, mercy, what else can I say?
Mercy, mercy, I laid down and prayed
Amen
Amen
Amen
That's What The Water Made Me lyrics - Bon Jovi
Baby, baby, baby
There's no use in trying to save me
There's devils in heaven
There's angels in hell
So, blow me one last kiss
And wish me well, well
Love is like fingerprints
They don't wash away
I left mine all over you
I take the blame
Ask me how
Ask me what
Ask me why, baby
That's what the water made me
That's who I am and what I'll be
That's what the water, that's what the water made me
There ain't no doubt about it
It makes you or brings you to your knees
That's what the water, that's what the water made me
This world is cracked and crazy
Say one of your pretty prayers for me
No rose in the garden
Or wish in the well
I don't know how
Don't know what
Don't know why, baby
That's what the water made me
That's who I am and what I'll be
That's what the water, that's what the water made me
There ain't no doubt about it
It makes you or brings you to your knees
That's what the water, that's what the water made me
That's what the water, that's what the water
Ask me how
Ask me what
Ask me why
Baby, baby, baby
There's no use in trying to save me
There's devils in heaven
There's angels in hell
(Hold me close, hold me close, hold me)
That's what the water made me
That's who I am and what I'll be
That's what the water, that's what the water made me
There ain't no doubt about it
It makes you or brings you to your knees
That's what the water, that's what the water
What's Left Of Me lyrics - Bon Jovi
For thirty odd years, I was a newspaperman
Made my living with a pen and a pad
God, I miss the smell of paper and the ink on my hands
Been back from the desert for a year or so
I left more in that sand than you'll ever know
Another war was waiting for me when I got back home
In the name of the flag, some gave their lives
I'm still living, yeah, Semper Fi
Well, that's my story, what else can I say? Hey, hey
I got a lot to give, say, can you see?
I'm still breathing and my heart still beats
They took the car, but they left the lease
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Boarded up the house, they left the keys
Foreclosed on my city, rolled up these streets
But I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
They called us "Dirty Harry," we're a punk rock band
Why they sold old CBGBs, I don't understand
All that's left now are the t-shirts and they come from Japan
I sold my drums to make ends meet
The band broke up, we had to eat
It's the same old shit, it just happens more these days, hey, hey
I got a lot to give, say, can you see?
I'm still breathing and my heart still beats
They took the car, but they left the lease
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Boarded up the house, they left the keys
Foreclosed on my city, rolled up these streets
But I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Hey, hey
Hey, hey (Hey)
I'm a teacher, I'm a farmer, I'm a union man
It's getting hard to make a living in this hard land
We ain't working in our factories, all those jobs went overseas
Hey, hey
Does anybody want, does anybody want
Does anybody want what's left of me?
I got a lot to give, say, can you see?
I'm still breathing and my heart still beats
They took the car, but they left the lease
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Does anybody want to buy or rent?
Take the chance or place a bet?
I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Does anybody want, does anybody want
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Does anybody want, does anybody want
Does anybody want what's left of me?
Army Of One lyrics - Bon Jovi
I'm in this war
But got no gun
Still standing strong
An army of one
So sign me up
I'm a soldier
I've got a voice
It's all I need
A beating heart inside of me
I'm an army of one
I'm a soldier
These eyes hold no disguise
We're fighting for our lives
We're all trying to get back home tonight
Never give up
Never give up
Never
Never give up
Never let up
Ever
Never give in
You're an army of one
Never give up
Never give up
Never
Never forget
Where you're from
Never give up
You're an army of one
I can't hurt but I still feel
I know that life's a battlefield
When the times get tough
I'm a soldier
And when it's time to face the fight
With just my shadow at my side
I'm an army of one
I'm a soldier
Never give up
Never give up
Never
Never give up
Never let up
Ever
Never give in
You're an army of one
Never give up
Never give up
Never
Never forget
Where you're from
Never give up
You're an army of one
So don't apologize
Defend, just be alive
We're all trying
To get it right tonight
Never give up
Never give up
Never
Never give up
Never let up
Ever
Never give in
You're an army of one
Never give up
Never give up
Never
Never forget
Where you're from
Never give up
You're an army of one
Thick As Thieves lyrics - Bon Jovi
In an empty room or a downtown bar
'Cross the universe, there's no place too far
Ya wherever you are, you and me
Thick as thieves
Well it ain't always pretty, sometimes it got rough
Could have thrown the towel in and thrown our hands up
Seems like we've always been and always will be
Thick as thieves
Time, time won't ever drag us down
You, me, us, ain't looking back or turning around
It's classic boy meets girl, with our backs against the world
You and me
Thick as thieves
In a world without faith, you're what I believe
When they're stacking the deck
You're the card up my sleeve in my hour of need
You and me, yeah
Thick as thieves
Lights are all that's left behind us now
You, me, us, ain't looking back or turning around
It's classic boy meets girl, with our backs against the world
You and me
Thick as thieves
If I robbed a bank you wouldn't care
You'd come sit on my lap in the electric chair
And when they flipped the switch, huh, we'd just kiss
I know nothing's gonna stop us now
You, me, us, on the edge and never looking down
What's a boy to do, it's classic me and you
Lucky you, lucky me
Thick as thieves
Thick as thieves
Beautiful World lyrics - Bon Jovi
Every day it's the same when they say that it might be the end
In the end when it ends then I'll listen to them
You wake up, go to work, go to sleep
Then you do it, you do it, if you're lucky then you do it again
Yeah, we walk through a world that we don't understand
When I look in your eyes I'm just happy I can
Yeah, we'll laugh and we'll cry and we'll lose and we'll win
We'll get through it and to prove it yeah we'll do it again
There's glory in the saddest story
Look at it, just sticks and bricks
Makes you wonder how the pieces fit
Where we're going, where we've been
This ain't paradise we're living in
It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl
Ah, but ain't it a beautiful world?
It's a shame when they say that it's been done and said
They keep digging that grave, let them bury their heads
There's a kid with a dream and a sky full of stars
There's another first kiss in the back of some car
Turn a page and write the story
Look at it, just sticks and bricks
Makes you wonder how the pieces fit
Where we're going, where we've been
This ain't paradise we're living in
It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl
Ah, but ain't it a beautiful world?
They're running numbers out of the Spanish grocery
And Mary Mary says her rosary
We get a ladder, there's a cat up in a tree
Ah, the pretzel man's wearing Gucci glasses
A widow spreads her lover's ashes
I'll hold on to you, hold on to me, yeah
We'll do it, we'll do it, yeah, we're lucky then we'll do it again, ah
Look at it, just sticks and bricks
Makes you wonder how the pieces fit
Where we're going, where we've been
This ain't paradise we're living in
It's a diamond, it's a dirty string of pearls
Ah, ain't it a beautiful world?
Oh, ain't it a beautiful world?
Oh, oh, ain't it a beautiful world?
Room At The End Of The World lyrics - Bon Jovi
There's a room at the end of the world
Where my secrets go to hide
There's a room at the end of the world
Where I'll wait for you tonight
Where the roads all go to end
Where lost Valentines get sent
Where a rose comes back to life
Where young love never dies
Where we never say goodbye
Don't say no, just give in
Close your eyes, there's no sin
Don't hold back, just let go
Take your time, take it slow
It's me and you in our room at the end of the world
There's a room at the end of the world
Where my secrets go to hide
There's a room at the end of the world
Where I'll wait for you tonight
Where all prayers go to be heard
And the truth will have its turn
Take a look into these eyes
There's no place I'd rather be tonight
No place I'd rather be tonight
Don't say no, just give in
Close your eyes, there's no sin
Don't hold back, just let go
Take your time, take it slow
It's me and you in our room at the end of the world
There's no looking back in our room
Fade to black
There's a room at the end of the world
That I hang on to
There's a room at the end of the world
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you
Don't say no, just give in
Close your eyes, there's no sin
Don't hold back, just let go
Take your time, take it slow
It's me and you in our room at the end of the world
Where I wait for you in our room
Dreams are coming true in our room
It's just me and you in our room
The Fighter lyrics - Bon Jovi
I should write down these words 'fore I lose them
Or write you a song just to use them
Someday you may wanna know who I am
Beyond this facade, no guitar in my hand
No, I am not a writer
These eyes hold no secrets I hide no truths
I am all I am, all I was to you
The lie and the promise, the great escape artist
The weed in your garden in that place you're still guarding
Where I am not a liar
I am the fighter
Though not a boxer by trade
I am the fighter
Few will remember my name
These are hands that can offer protection
But hid me from my own reflection
I'm that book that ain't finished, the sink full of dishes
The horse that ain't winning, that priest that's still sinning
The spark that starts the fire
I am the fighter
Though not a boxer by trade
I am the fighter
Few will remember my name
With loneliness next to me, fear sits in misery
Nursing another black eye
On the New Jersey turnpike, I'm counting the headlights
As cars, just like days, pass me by
I am the fighter
Though not a boxer by trade
I am the fighter
Few will remember my name
I am the fighter
Though not a boxer by trade
I am the fighter
A fighter is born, but not made
I should write down these words 'fore I lose them
Or write you a song just to use them
With These Two Hands lyrics - Bon Jovi
I could roll the dice
And give you ten good reasons
I could break the ice
And pick up the broken pieces
I could wave hello, I could raise a glass
I could blow a kiss, I could kick your ass
We could take it all apart or hold it all together
With these two hands I can tear down walls
I can build a bridge, I can break my fall
With these two hands I can pray or fight
I can hold the torch, I can shine a light
With these two hands
I could strike a match that sets the world on fire
Hold a grain of sand till it turns into a diamond
I could plant the seed, I could flip that switch
Make the sign of peace, I could make a fist
Oh, we could make this hurt or we could make it better
With these two hands I can tear down walls
I can build a bridge, I can break my fall
With these two hands I can pray or fight
I can hold the torch, I can shine a light
With these two hands
Wipe the teardrops from your eyes
Reach up until we touch the sky
Free to dream and make it true
No, there ain't nothing we can't do
Oh, there ain't nothing we can't do
With these two hands I can tear down walls
I can build a bridge, I can break my fall
With these two hands I can pray or fight
I can hold the torch, I can shine a light
With these two hands
Wipe the teardrops from your eyes
Reach up until we touch the sky
Free to dream and make it true
No, there ain't nothing we can't do
Oh, there ain't nothing we can't do
Into The Echo lyrics - Bon Jovi
When it hurts just to talk, and it's too dark to see
When my heart's just a hole full of want, full of need
Stuck at a stoplight, hands gripping the wheel
Tears fill your eyes and you bleed just to feel
Someone beside you, someone to cry to
Into the echo, we shout our dreams
Into the echo, we throw our hearts
Into the echo, we send our love
Into the echo, to the echo, into the echo
To hear it back
Are you who you are
What's under that mask
Do you burn for the future or yearn for the past
Did somebody send you, some broke fairy tale
Now you wait by the water for a ship that has sailed
Into the echo, we shout our dreams
Into the echo, we throw our hearts
Into the echo, we send our love
Into the echo, to the echo, into the echo
Just to hear it back
When it hurts just to talk, and it's too dark to see
You can touch, you can feel
Yeah, you just got to reach
Into the echo, we shout our dreams
Into the echo, we throw our hearts
Into the echo, we send our love
Into the echo, to the echo, into the echo
To hear it back
Not Running Anymore lyrics - Bon Jovi
Bless me, Father, I have sinned
I'm not sure where to begin
I won't name names or where I've been
But I've been there and back again
No Hail Marys will save me
You learned to live with memories
Here, slip this c-note up your sleeve
Just stay inside until I leave
I've been running, always running
Never had both feet on the floor
I've been running, always running
Now I ain't running anymore
The hands of time may tick no more
Let darkness fall upon this door
No waves to wash up on this shore
I won the fight, but lost the war
I've been running, always running
Never had both feet on the floor
And I've been running, always running
Now I ain't running anymore
Yeah, there were roses I have loved
Who've given or have given up
I pushed your patience and my luck
It wasn't love I didn't trust
It wasn't you, or me, or us
You've shouldered ifs and ands, and buts
It's that way, OK, I've said too much
But I've been running, always running
Never had both feet on the floor
I've been running, always running
Now I ain't running anymore
Old Habits Die Hard lyrics - Bon Jovi
You look like shit. So do you, my brother
I missed you too. Yeah. You dumb stupid mother
A cheap "Welcome Home" sign, a bottle of red
At least you got freedom on an old pull-out bed
Three cheers to the best of the rest we got left
If you could dream anything, what would that be?
If you could dream that, would you share it with me?
We carry our choices, we hide our regrets
We know there's a price, we'll both pay our debts
But maybe they ain't seen the last of us yet
'Cause old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
It might be painful to smile
But it covers the scars
And old habits die hard
There's a face in the mirror, but it don't look like me
Yesterday's gone, a rain drop in the sea
I have your back for each day that's gone by
And I'll still have it 'til the day that I die
Yeah, I'll still have it 'til the day that I die
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
It might be painful to smile
But it covers the scars
And old habits die hard
Some day you'll be missed by those you leave behind
And I hope you touched other lives like you've touched mine
Old habits die hard
Old habits die hard
It might be painful to smile
But it covers the scars
Appearances change but don't change who we are
And old habits die hard
Every Road Leads Home To You lyrics - Bon Jovi
I got your picture on my phone
Your voice in my head
I'm lying here alone
Restless in some faraway bed
The stars will falling down
And I'm half a world away
I'm just trying to close the distance
To feel each breath you take
When the bridge is burning
And I'm losing my faith
And I'm trying to find my way towards the truth
Like a wild arrow flying
And I'm blindly running
From everything I thought I knew
And every road leads home to you
Home to you
So you got me to believe
Made me turn on a dime
The writing on the wall
Right in front of me
Every song, every rhyme
But I don't need a thousand words
I need you safe in my arms
I'll be standing strong
I'll keep holding on
When life tries tearing us apart
When the bridge is burning
And I'm losing my faith
And I'm trying to find my way towards the truth
Like a wild arrow flying
And I'm blindly running
From everything I thought I knew
No I ain't regretting
Just how lost I'm getting
Or the red lights I've been blowing through
My foot will find the pedal
As I'm counting the lines
Every road leads home to you
Every road leads home to you
Home
Roads still leads me home to you
Sometimes I don't see the signs
The headlights make me blind
The roads still leads me home to you
When the bridge is burning
And I'm losing my faith
And I'm trying to find my way towards the truth
Like a wild arrow flying
And I'm blindly running
Everything I thought I knew
No I ain't regretting
Just how lost I'm getting
Or the red lights I've been blowing through
My foot will find the pedal
As I'm counting the lines
Every road leads home to you
Every road leads home to you
Home to you
Home to you
Home to you
Every road leads home to you
Home to you
Every road
Leads home to you
Every road leads home to you
Ain't Done Yet lyrics - Bon Jovi
Some days the road behind me
Seems longer than the road ahead
The sun is setting, tomorrow is calling
But I ain't done yet
It ain't fear, all my faith that drives me
What's in my heart is in my head
Hear my prayer, let your angels guide me
I ain't done yet
You think you've seen it all, you ain't seen nothing
Hold on [?] for the fire I've got left
You can try, but you won't deny me
I ain't done yet
So hold on tight to the tires above me
I've lived this life with no regrets
I still got some fire inside me
And I ain't done yet
I ain't done yet
Everyday is a new clock ticking
Another chance to start again
Every end is a new beginning
And I ain't done yet
So step aside the time ain't waiting
I walk the wire without a net
We gotta make every step we're taking
And I ain't done yet
You think you've seen it all, you ain't seen nothing
Hold a [?] for the fire I've got left
You can try, but you won't deny me
I ain't done yet
So hold on tight to the tires above me
I've lived this life with no regrets
I still got some fire inside me
And I ain't done yet, I ain't done yet
I can't got that chip from my shoulder
Same pound beneath my chest
I little wiser, a little bit boarder
Bring it on, what's coming next? Ha!
Some days the road behind me seems longer than the road ahead
The sun is setting, tomorrow is calling, but I ain't done yet
You think you've seen it all, you ain't seen nothing
Hold a [?] for the fire I've got left
You can try, but you won't deny me
I ain't done yet
So hold on tight to the tires above me
I've lived this life with no regrets
I still got some fire inside me
And I ain't done yet, I ain't done yet
Ain't No Cure For Love lyrics - Bon Jovi
Ain't no cure for love
Ain't no cure for love
There ain't no cure for love
Ain't no cure
Cupid was a blind man
He must have missed his mark
Shot an arrow in the air and hit me in the heart
I went to see Saint Valentine
Said "What's come over me"?
Daddy must have missed the chapter about the birds and bees
You can be the King of diamonds
You can cash in all your gold
You could hire Johnnie Cochran
It's too late to save your soul
Don't need no shot, no ambulance
Don't need prescription drugs
There ain't no cure for love
They can find the cure for the common cold
When the pushing comes to shove
There ain't no cure for love
Now someone call my lawyer
I'm going to see my shrink
I found myself in the jewelry store buying a diamond ring
I went to see my doctor
Said "Won't you help me please"?
He said "Son I'm sorry, it's a terminal disease"
Can't get no love insurance
Cupid draws his bow
I ain't waving boys, I'm drowning
It's a damn good way to go
Don't need no shot, no ambulance
Don't need prescription drugs
There ain't no cure for love
They can find the cure for the common cold
When the pushing comes to shove
There ain't no cure for love
You can be the King of Diamonds
You can cash in all your gold
You can hire Johnnie Cochran
It's too late to save your soul
Don't need no shot, no ambulance
Don't need prescription drugs
There ain't no cure for love
They can find the cure for the common cold
When the pushing comes to shove
There ain't no cure for love
No aspirin, no ambulance
Or Voodoo you can think up
Ain't no cure for love
Ain't no cure for love
Ain't no cure for love
Ain't no cure for love
There ain't no cure for love
Ain't no cure for love
Ain't no cure for love
Beautiful Day lyrics - Bon Jovi
(from "Finding Neverland" soundtrack)
Oh, what a day to be here
It's only at this time of year
Oh, what a sight, what a scene
And we can live in this dream
It's that time in your life
You need the day to happen twice
I'll take a pad and a pen
And hope it happens again
Oh, what a day to be out
There's music in every sound
It's good to breathe in the air
It's all around us, everywhere
It's that time in your life
You want a day to happen twice
So between now and then
I hope it happens again
Oh, come and share this beautiful day
The sun is here again
Until tomorrow begins
We'll stay right here
Oh, come and share this beautiful day
Before it's taken away
The whole world is smiling on this beautiful day
Oh, what a day to be out
There's music in every sound
It's good to breathe in the air
It's all around us, everywhere
It's that time in your life
You want a day to happen twice
So between now and then
I hope it happens again
Oh, come and share this beautiful day
The sun is here again
Until tomorrow begins
We'll stay right here
Oh, come and share this beautiful day
Before it's taken away
The whole world is smiling on this beautiful day
Listen to the laughter on this beautiful day
Happy ever after on this beautiful day
It's that time in your life
You want a day to happen twice
I'll take a pad and a pen
And hope it happens again
Oh, come and share this beautiful day
The sun is here again
Until tomorrow begins
We'll stay right here
Oh, come and share this beautiful day
Before it's taken away
The whole world is smiling on this beautiful day
Burn With Me lyrics - Bon Jovi
Sparks will fly
We can burn this house down
Say good night
To everything we are now
Kiss me, kill me
Just give in and let go
Let's live this life
Like there's no tomorrow
Burn with me one last time
All we leave are ashes, embers in the fire
Burn with me, smoke will rise
Tell me of a liar walking through the fire
And burn with me
Wrong, or right
I'm waiting on an answer
Save this life
Right now is all that matters
Kiss me, thrill me
Tell me all your secrets
Whisper to me
I promise that I'll keep it
Burn with me one last time
All we leave are ashes, embers in the fire
Burn with me, smoke will rise
Tell me of a liar walking through the fire
Burn with me
It's my heart beating down your bedroom door
Here's the way that you keep me coming back for more
When you say it's caught now in flames
Burn with me one last time
All we leave are ashes, embers in the fire
Burn with me, smoke will rise
Tell me of a liar walking through the fire
Burn with me one last time
All we leave are ashes, embers in the fire
Burn with me
Burn with me
Burn with me
Come burn with me
Let's live this life
Like there's no tomorrow
Christmas Isn't Christmas lyrics - Bon Jovi
Fancy paper, pretty ribbons
Wrap each present that is new
And the sounds of this good season fills the night
We'll light a fire, send seasons greetings
We'll sing a song of Yule
There's nothing wrong but this year Christmas isn't right
Oh it's a beautiful day
We'll give thanks and we'll pray
For every blessing and the dreams that came true
Oh it's a beautiful night
But I can't wait for first light
When the sky will shine a different kind of blue
Snow still falling, friends are calling
Bringing laughter and good cheer
Wine is flowing and another year's gone by
Nothing's changed but life keeps changing
Some say hello, some say goodbye
It's the memories that keep me warm tonight
Oh it's a beautiful day
We'll give thanks and we'll pray
For every blessing and the dreams that came true
Oh it's a beautiful night
But I can't wait for first light
That's when the sky will shine a different kind of blue
This year Christmas isn't Christmas without you
How am I supposed to let you go
When you're the only thing I've ever known
You're the reason that I keep holding on
Now who's strong and who's afraid
Tomorrow won't be yesterday
Tomorrow just can't be like yesterday
Fancy paper, pretty ribbons
Promise me you'll come home soon
'Cause Christmas isn't Christmas without you
Oh Christmas isn't Christmas without you
Gimme Some Lovin' Charlene lyrics - Bon Jovi
I don't need a credit card
To buy your love
I don't need no Cadillac
To match your leather gloves
'Cause I am going crazy
When I take your hand
I need your attention
Not some blank psycho stare
Gimme some lovin' Charlene
Gimme some lovin' Charlene
I know your mama and she don't like me
But I'm not the type of boy
She wants you to see
But I wanna take you home and go for a ride
'Cause I got the poison
Let me inside
Gimme some lovin' Charlene
Gimme some lovin' Charlene, Charlene
I like your made-up-eyes
They glow like fire
I like your moves
'Cause you never tire
And you're familiar with the backseat
Take your sweet time
You build me up so hot
Love's a crime
Gimme some lovin' Charlene
Gimme some lovin' Charlene, Charlene
Charlene...
Hallelujah lyrics - Bon Jovi
(originally by Leonard Cohen)
Well I heard there was a secret chord
David played to please the lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya
Well it goes like this the fourth the fifth
Minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to the kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
And it's not your flag on that marble arch, no
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?
Well remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well now maybe there's a God above
But all I ever learnt from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not someone who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Have A Nice Day (Demo) lyrics - Bon Jovi
Why you wanna tell me how to life my life?
And who are you to tell me if it's black or white?
Momma can you help me try to understand
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man?
My daddy live to die that's just the price that he paid
Sacrificed his life just slaving away
Ooh, if there's one thing I could give you
To get you through the night
Ooh, a little something to hang onto
To make you feel alive
Brighter than a diamond, sharper than a knife
Standing on the ledge, it might save your live
If there's one thing I could say
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Living in a broken home of hopes and dreams
Take a look around you nothing's what it seems
Who are you to tell me where a flower grows?
Who are you to tell me that a child don't know?
Innocence has died out on a dead end street
Looking for forgiveness, down on his knees
Ooh, if there's one thing I could give you
To get you through the night
Ooh, a little something to hang onto
To make you feel alive
Brighter than a diamond, sharper than a knife
Standing on the ledge, it might save your live
If there's one thing I could say
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Ooh, if there's one thing I could give you
To get you through the night
Ooh, a little something to hang onto
To make you feel alive
Ooh, if there's one thing I could give you
To get you through the night
Ooh, a little something to hang onto
To make you feel alive
Brighter than a diamond, sharper than a knife
Standing on the ledge, it might save your live
If there's one thing I could say
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
I Don't Want To Live Forever lyrics - Bon Jovi
Frank Sinatra died today
I came home and found my mama crying
The TV had so much to say
Somehow I was thinking about dying
I'm seventeen and thinking about dying
I don't want to live forever
Just want to know that I'm alive
Don't want to live forever
Just until the day I die
I see my daddy in his chair
He sits there night and day
The TV still looks good as new
Daddy's old and gray
And it's scaring me to death
I don't want to go that way
I don't want to live forever
Just want to know that I'm alive
Don't want to live forever
Just until the day I die
Just because your heart's still beating
It don't mean that you're alive
Don't want to live forever
Nobody lives forever
Gonna live while I'm alive
You can see the glass half-empty
You can see the glass half-full
But all I see are shattered dreams
Around this neighborhood
My brother's girlfriend's pregnant
And today she's moving in
My friends all play the lottery
And swear one day they'll win
I'm seventeen, I'm thinking about dying
I'm seventeen, no way I'm dying
Don't want to live forever
Just want to know that I'm alive
Don't want to live forever
Just until the day I die
Just because you're breathing
It don't mean that you're alive
Don't want to live forever
Nobody lives forever
I don't want to live forever
Nobody lives forever
Don't want to live forever
I don't want to live forever
Nobody lives forever
I don't want to live forever
Don't want to live forever
I don't want to live forever
Nobody lives forever
I don't want to live forever
Nobody lives forever
I don't want to live forever
Nothing lyrics - Bon Jovi
We've been through this all before a thousand times
Come on, come on, come on, tell me what's on your mind
Doesn't matter, baby, what I say
It all amounts to nothing anyway
When push comes to shove
It's never enough
It always comes down to something
How could I live?
Why would I try?
I've been learning to live without you
But that's a lot
No giving in or saying goodbye
Seems there's always something
But all that's ever left is nothing
(All that's ever left is nothing)
I thought I saw you reach out, thought I saw you try
Waiting here for something, nothing's all I find
Kneeling at your altar, standing on the shore
I'm waiting out, now listen, I'm outside your door
When push comes to shove
It's never enough
It always comes down to something
How could I live?
Why would I try?
I've been learning to live without you
But that's a lot
No giving in or saying goodbye
Seems there's always something
But all that's ever left is nothing
I won't give up!
I won't give up!
No!
'Cause you know I won't let you down
How could I live?
Why would I try?
I could learn to live without you
But I would die!
No giving in or saying goodbye
Seems there's always something
But all that's ever left is nothing
Why would I try?
I've been learning to live without you
But that's lot
No giving in or saying goodbye
Seems there's always something
But all that's ever left is nothing
I won't give up!
I won't give up!
No!
'Cause you know I won't let you down
You know I won't let you down
You know I won't let you down
Stay lyrics - Bon Jovi
Every singer's always singing about someone else
Another bleeding heart
Another brand new start
But this time I'm singing all about myself
I made it be so lonely
Even my piano wants to cry
These arms weren't there to hold you
And when I was home I was miles away
Now you've got every right to go girl
but I'm standing here
I'm begging you
Stay!
Just a little longer
You've always been the one who's stronger
I can't let you go
I'm begging you
Stay!
Stay because I need you
With every breath I breathe you
I can't let you walk away
There are things I didn't ever say or do
Like I would die without you
Didn't mean I didn't want to
But every song I ever sang I sang for you
And every night away from you
Knowing you'd be homes what got me through
Tore up all the pictures
of our wasted yesterdays
I'm fighting for tomorrow
Standing here
I'm begging you
Stay!
Just a little longer
You've always been the one who's stronger
I can't let you go
I'm begging you
Stay!
Stay because I need you
With every breath I breathe you
I can't let you walk away
Stay!
I know I've done you wrong
It'd be easy to move on
I'm telling you, I'm begging you, I'm pleading, I'm screaming
Stay!
Just a little longer
You've always been the one who's stronger
I can't let you go
I'm begging you
Stay!
Stay because I need you
With every breath I breathe you
I can't let you walk away
Stay!
Oh...
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Stay!
Just a little longer
You've always been the one who's stronger
I can't let you walk away
Welcome To The Good Times lyrics - Bon Jovi
I had enough of staring down at my shoes
Filling my cup with television's bad news
All of it's worthless, nothing to hold on to
Kicked out because there's nothing left but me and you
A little beat up but what you get's what you see
A bit of a rebel, a little bit of refugee
Waited my whole life away
Been waiting for someone like you to say
Hey, welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine wine, until you feel alright
Welcome to the good times
I'm always the one on the outside looking inside
Always the bridesmaid, never been the new bride
Sometimes I feel like a canary in a coal mine
It's hard to breathe but somehow it's got to stay in flight
Waiting for the dice to roll our way
We've been waiting for someone somewhere to say
Hey, welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine wine, until you feel alright
Welcome, forget about the hard times
Gonna make the sun shine if it takes all night
We'll say welcome to the good times
Welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine wine until you feel alright
Welcome, forget about the hard times
Gonna make the sun shine if it takes us all night
We'll say welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine wine until you feel alright, alright
Welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine wine, until you feel alright
Welcome, welcome to the good times
You Can't Lose At Love lyrics - Bon Jovi
You can lose at cards
You can lose your keys
You can lose the house or lose the lease
You can lose your car, you can lose the race
You can lose your mind or lose your faith
Take a look around and hear what I've gotta say
You can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
No, you can't lose at love
We could lose the plot
Or we could lose our way
But I ain't going to lose
These ain't good games we're playing
Let me make you an offer too good to refuse
No, you can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
But you can't lose at love
Now we just might roll a seven, these ain't loaded dice
We'll never get to heaven from this driveway tonight
You've heard a million promises that's never come through
Baby I'm telling you we're due
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
But baby, you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
Cause you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
No, you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
You can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose
You can't lose
We Weren't Born To Follow Lyrics – Bon Jovi
This one goes out to the man who mines for miracles
This one goes out to the ones in need
This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical
This ain't about no apology
This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
This road was paved by the winds of change
Walking beside the guilty and the innocent
How will you raise your hand when they call your name?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
This one's about anyone who does it differently
This one's about the one who cusses and spits
This ain't about our livin' in a fantasy
This ain't about givin' up or givin' in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
We weren't born to follow - oh yeah
We weren't born to follow - oh yeah
This one goes out to the ones in need
This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical
This ain't about no apology
This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
This road was paved by the winds of change

When We Were Beautiful Lyrics – Bon Jovi
The world is cracked
The sky is torn
I’m hanging in
You’re holding on
I can’t pretend
That nothings changed
Living in the shadows
Of the love we made
Back…When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back… When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let’s go back and find it
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Some dreams live
Some will die
But the you and me
Is still alive
Now am I blessed?
Or am I cursed?
Cause the way we are
Aint the way we were
Back…When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back… When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let’s go back and find it
[Solo]
The world is cracked
The sky is torn
So much less
Meant so much more
Back…When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back… When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let’s go back and find it
Back…When we were beautiful
Back…When we were beautiful
Back…When we were beautiful
Back…When we were beautiful
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la

Work For The Working Man Lyrics – Bon Jovi
I'm here trying to make a living
I ain't living just to die
Never getting back what I'm giving
Can someone somewhere help me justify
Why these strong hands are on the un-employment line
Now there's nothing left
But what's on my mind
oh ohh oh ohh
Who's gonna work for the working man
(Hurt) for the working man
(Work) Get your hands in the dirt
Who's gonna work off the curse
(Work) Brother I'll be damned
(Work) If I don't raise a hand
(Work) Whose gonna work work work
For the working man, working man
Empty pockets full of worry
Had to get two jobs
And it was hard enough just getting by
With the grace of god I'll get us through
I only know what I know how to do
I'm the only one who's got to look my family in the eye
Day after day
Night after night
Oh Ohh Oh Ohh
Who's gonna work for the working man
(Hurt) for the working man
(Work) Get your hands in the dirt
Who's gonna work off the curse
(Work) Brother I'll be damned
(Work) If I don't raise a hand
(Work) Whose gonna work work work
For the working man, working man, working man, working man
I lost my pension
They took my I.D
These were my friends
These were my dreams
These were my hopes
These are my streets
Can you hear me?
Who's gonna work for the working man
(Hurt) for the working man
(Work) Get your hands in the dirt
Who's gonna work off the curse
(Work) Brother I'll be damned
(Work) If I don't raise a hand
(Work) Whose gonna work work work
For the working man, working man, working man, working man
These were my friens
These were my dreams
These were my hopes
These are my... streets
I ain't living just to die

Superman Tonight Lyrics – Bon Jovi
There's something about you
I want to rescue
I don't even know you
So what does that mean
Maybe I'm cynical
I'm painfully logical
You're tragic and beautiful
And that's good enough for me
You're looking for a hero, but it's just my old tattoo
Tonight I swear I'd sell my soul to be a hero for you
Who's going to save you
When the stars fall from your sky
And who's going to pull you in
When the tide gets too high
Who's going to hold you
When you turn out the lights
I won't lie I wish that I
Could be your superman tonight
If somebody sent you
An angel to save you
What would you tell him to turn him away
That your heart don't break
That your lips don't kiss
That life is just a lie
That heaven don't exist?
Who's going to save you
When the stars fall from your sky
And who's going to pull you in
When the tide gets too high
Who's going to hold you
When you turn out the lights
I won't lie I wish that I
Could be your superman tonight
Who's going to fix you
The next time you break down
Stranded alone by the side of the road
It's your baggage that's dragging you down
Don't look back
Let it go
Ohhh, Ohhhhh
Who's going to save you
When the stars fall from your sky
And who's going to pull you in
When the tide gets too high
Who's going to hold you
When you turn out the lights
I won't lie I wish that I
Was that superman
Who's going to save you
When the stars fall from your sky
And who's going to pull you in
When the tide gets too high
Who's going to hold you
When you turn out the lights
I won't lie I wish that I
Could be your superman tonight
woooah, woooah, woooah ohhh
woooah, woooah, woooah ohhh
woooah, woooah, woooah ohhh
woooah, woooah, woooah ohhh
I want to rescue
I don't even know you
So what does that mean
Maybe I'm cynical
I'm painfully logical
You're tragic and beautiful
And that's good enough for me
You're looking for a hero, but it's just my old tattoo
Tonight I swear I'd sell my soul to be a hero for you
Who's going to save you

And who's going to pull you in

Who's going to hold you
When you turn out the lights
