BON JOVI

IT'S MY LIFE

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted

No silent prayer for the faith-departed

I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd

You're gonna hear my voice

When I shout it out loud

It's my life It's now or never

I ain't gonna live forever

I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life)

My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said I did it my way

I just wanna live while I'm alive It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground

For Tommy and Gina who never backed down

Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake

Luck ain't even lucky

Got to make your own breaks

It's my life And it's now or never

I ain't gonna live forever

I just want to live while I'm alive

(It's my life) My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said I did it my way

I just want to live while I'm alive 'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out

Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

It's my life And it's now or never

'Cause I ain't gonna live forever

I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life)

My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said I did it my way

I just want to live while I'm alive

It's my life And it's now or never

'Cause I ain't gonna live forever

I just want to live while I'm alive

(It's my life) My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said I did it my way

I just want to live while I'm alive

'Cause it's my life!

MISUNDERSTOOD

Should I? Could I?

Have said the wrong things right a thousand times

If I could just rewind, I see it in my mind

If I could turn back time, you'd still be mine

You cried, I died

I should have shut my mouth, things headed south

As the words slipped off my tongue, they sounded dumb

If this old heart could talk, it'd say you're the one

I'm wasting time when I think about it

[Chorus:]

I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights

I was misunderstood

I stumbled like my words, Did the best I could

Damn, misunderstood

Could I? Should I?

Apologize for sleeping on the couch that night

Staying out too late with all my friends

You found me passed out in the yard again

You cried, I tried To stretch the truth, but didn't lie

It's not so bad when you think about it

[Chorus:]

I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights

I was misunderstood

I stumbled like my words, did the best I could

Damn, misunderstood Intentions good

It's you and I, just think about it...

[Chorus:]

I should have drove all night

I would have run all the lights

I was misunderstood

I stumbled like my words, did the best I could

I 'm hanging outside your door

I've been here before Misunderstood

I stumbled like my words, did the best I could

Damn, misunderstood Intentions good.

ONE WILD NIGHT

It's a hot night, the natives are restless

We're sweating by the light of the moon

There's a voodoo mojo brewing at the go-go

That could knock a witch off her broom

We slither on in and shed our skin

Make our way into the bump and the grind

So I'm passing by, she gives me the eye

So I stop to give her a light

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)

One wild night (24 hours of midnight)

One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone

And she left my heart with vertigo)

One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night

Havin' as much fun as you can in your clothes

Margarita had me feelin' alright

It just might be that I found religion

I've been on my knees for half of the night

Then I'm rolling the bones with Jimmy 'no dice'

Gonna take him for a couple weeks' pay

Man, if you lose this roll I take your girlfriend home

So I stopped But you're not gonna believe

who comes walking out

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)

One wild night (24 hours of midnight)

One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone

And she left my heart with vertigo)

One wild night (hey, c'est la vie)

One wild night (welcome to the party)

One wild night (life is for the living so

You gotta live it up, come on let's go)

One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)

One wild night (24 hours of midnight)

One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone

And she left my heart with vertigo)

One wild night (hey, c'est la vie)

One wild night (welcome to the party)

One wild night (life if for the living so

You gotta live it up, come on let's go)

One wild, one wild, one wild, one..

One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)

One wild night (24 hours of midnight)

One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone)

For one wild night One wild night (hey, c'est la vie)

One wild night (welcome to the party)

One wild night (life is for the living)

All we've got is one wild night

One wild night (4x)

One wild night blinded by the moonlight

One wild night 24 hours of midnight

One wild night stepped into the twilight zone for

One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night

THIS AIN'T A LOVE SONG

I should have seen it coming when roses died

Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes

I should have listened when you said good night

You really meant good bye

Baby, ain't it funny, how you never ever learn to fall

You're really on your knees, when you think you're standing tall

But only fools are "know-it-alls" and I played that fool for you

I cried and I cried

There were nights that died for you baby

I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy, baby

If the love that I got for you is gone

If the river I cried ain't that long

Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song

Baby, I thought you and me would stand the test of time

Like we got away with the perfect crime but

We were just a legend in my mind I guess that I was blind

Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade

The clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade

You and I were the renegades, some things never change

It made me so mad 'cause I wanted it bad for us baby

Now it's so sad that whatever we had, ain't worth saving

If the love that I got for you is gone

If the river I've cried ain't that long

Then I'm wrong, yes I'm wrong, this ain't a love song

If the pain that I'm feeling so strong

Is the reason that I'm holding on

Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song

I cried and I cried

There were nights that I died for you baby

I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy

If the love that I got for you is gone

If the river I cried ain't that long

Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't no love song

If the pain that I'm feeling so strong

Is the reason that I'm holding on

Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song

If the pain that I'm feeling so strong

Is the reason that I'm holding on

Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song

Yes, I'm wrong, yeah, I'm wrong - this ain't a love song

THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME

It's hard for me to say the things I want to say sometimes

There's no one here but you and me

And that broken old street light Lock the doors

We'll leave the world outside All I've got to give to you

Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me For being my eyes

When I couldn't see For parting my lips

When I couldn't breathe

Thank you for loving me

I never knew I had a dream

Until that dream was you

When I look into your eyes

The sky's a different blue

Cross my heart I wear no disguise

If I tried, you'd make believe

That you believed my lies

Thank you for loving me For being my eyes

When I couldn't see For parting my lips

When I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me

You pick me up when I fall down

You ring the bell before they count me out

If I was drowning you would part the sea

And risk your own life to rescue me

Lock the doors We'll leave the world outside

All I've got to give to you Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me For being my eyes

When I couldn't see You parted my lips

When I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me

When I couldn't fly Oh, you gave me wings

You parted my lips When I couldn't breathe

Thank you for loving me
