I never woke up from night before Unaware I was bleeding Slowly dying like the sun Going down once more Chorus: I was chained Chained Chained to my broken dreams I never knew just where my life would lead Hoping that someone would come and rescue me Rescue me Rescue me Rescue me Alone in the darkness 'Til saw the light Shining from your eyes Now it burns inside and it keeps me alive Chorus: Lord I've been chained I've been chained, yeah. Was chained Chained Chained to these broken dreams I never knew who I was supposed to be Hoping that someone would come and rescue me I've been chained Chained I've been chained to these broken dreams I never knew just where my life would lead Waiting for you to come and rescue me Hoping that someone would come and Rescue me Rescue me Rescue me Ooh yeah Rescue me DOWNSIDE OF LOVE There's a danger of getting so close to you There comes a time When the walls fade away And when love turns to bitter blue Sometimes it feels like it's so hard to stay Last night we went to bed angry We didn't mean what we said Seems we never get past forgiveness We try to hide, we never learn To swallow our pride. On the down side of love Where the love turns to hate We just can't relate On the down side of love When you're misunderstood 'Cause when it hurts you It hurts you so good Baby life has no guarantee Never knowing where love's gonna lead Even through you're a part of me We have to deal with our pain separately Sometimes we both feel like victims With no easy way out not, no, no Somehow we stand by each other When we're desperate, and drowning in The shadows of doubt On the down side of love Where the love turns to hate We just can't relate On the down side of love When you're misunderstood 'Cause when it hurts you It hurts you so good. The times we share the tenderness Are the times that keep us alive You get in my face, you rough me up But baby you know Can't hurt me 'nough, to give you up And make me let go Make me let got oh no, no. When you're on the down side of love Where the love turns to hare We just can't relate On the down side of love When you're misunderstood 'Cause when it hurts you It hurts you so good. Downside of love Love's just a long, long road baby Yes there's a down side of love Stand by my side baby When you're on the downside of love No, no, no Downside of love 'Cause it's a long, long road baby Downside of love HARLEM RAIN The old man down on the corner Is downing in his pain I can see the sorrow in his eyes His tears, the leave a stain The streets have left him broken He's in the final phase It's been a long hard road From his glory days There's a tattoo of his sweetheart Fading on his arm He talks of painful tragedy How he lost his lucky charm His memory is clouded From the thunder in this vein He's vanishing, vanishing gone In the Harlem rain Chorus: Harlem rain coming down Another shattered soul In the lost and found One more night On the street of pain Getting washed away by the Harlem rain On desperation avenue The devil takes his toll Where the pushers and the poverty Slowly claim your soul When you reached the realization That you just can't break the chain, no You're vanishing, vanishing gone In the Harlem rain Chorus In your search for tender mercy No one seemed to care The faith that used to be your crutch Is now your cross to bear You last yourself so long ago You don't know who to blame You're vanishing, vanishing gone Vanishing, vanishing gone Vanishing, vanishing gone In the Harlem rain WHO I AM Only child Lonely one Trying to act like his father's son Make him proud through he sometimes fails Locked up, living in a jail Help me now Help me now God I feel misunderstood Trust me now Trust me now Who I am is good Who I used to be ain't what I am If you walked inside my shoes Then you would understand Who I am - you wonder Who I am - I wonder Who I am Just who I am. When I lost is when I learned When the road took a crooked turn Wore that face of I just don't care That piece of me just disappeared Help me now Help me now Find some hope inside myself Reaching down Finding out Who's hiding in this shell. Who I used to be ain't what I am If you walked inside my shoes Then you would understand Who I am - I wonder Who I am - I wonder Who I am Who I am Somehow I got to find a mirror To make the stranger clearer All I wanna be is who I am Reaching down Finding out I still feel misunderstood Trust me now Trust me now Who I am is good Who I used to be ain't what I am If you walked inside my shoes Then you would understand Who I am - you wonder Who I am - I wonder Who I am It's who I am.

Sambora, Foster, Morolda All alone in the dark No walls no windows Trying hard to define Heaven from hell Standing out in the rain With just one shadow Nothing to see or believe Beyond myself See my life going by Each moment I am alive I keep reaching out, holding on, hoping Somewhere in my life There's one light burning I feel it like my heart beating inside Somewhere in my life There's one light burning All alone with my fears No words are spoken A story yet to be told Locked in my mind Hope is somewhere ahead Shining brightly But the past is always following close behind See my life going by, each moment I am alive I keep reaching out, holding on, hoping Somewhere in my life There's one light burning I feel it like my heart beating inside Somewhere in my life There's one light burning Somewhere in my life There's one light burning I feel it like my heart beating inside Somewhere in my life There's one light burning Leading the way, leading the way THE ANSWER R. Sambora, Foster The lightning flashed as angels Rode fiery chargers through the clouds That answer scared me into tears And all the grownups laughed out loud Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone Now they ride their thunder through the heavens There's a world in every drop of rain Embracing oceans sweep us home again Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie They say for every living thing There's a guide up in the sky That helps you pass from world to world So you never really die Then with scythe and cloak Death comes waltzing to your side As the visions pass you ask If there was meaning to your life As you strain to hear the answer, spirits sing, and devils fiddle As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle Oh, the answer lies beyond the pain All the questions in our minds, we surely ask in vain Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, and you shall find another life And now my life is like a storm Growing stronger every day Like the unrelenting wind That comes to blow our lives away So I live each day like I know it's my last If there is no future there must be no past Now I know the answers never meant a thing And with each instant that I breathe I feel the joy that life can bring Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie Come along with me, come along with me Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie DESTINATION ANYWHERE (1997) QUEEN OF NEW ORLEANS J.

Bon Jovi Sitting here just watching you sleep Wish I could slip inside and be In some Technicolor dream But the air's too thick for one of us to breathe I'm not fool enough to think You couldn't live life without me I didn't come this far to throw the towel in I didn't fight this hard to walk away If I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorry It's just because the words got in the way I remember how it used to be I was you and you were me We were more than just the same Now these shoes don't fit, my skin's too tight When you want a kiss, I take a bite Let your heart call up the cops, read me my rights Last night I drank enough to drown Raise a toast to your good looks and to my health Look, we both know how much I've let you down Janie don't you take your love to town Chorus: Janie don't you take your love to town Janie don't you take your love to town If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away Janie don't you take your love to town You deserve a shooter, a saint Someone to give it to you straight To find the soul through flesh and bone My life's a treasure, full of sunny weather But it's left me feeling cold Now all you want to do is take me home I hated you, the night you said you loved me I hated you, 'cause I couldn't love myself I'm begging you now, baby please just hold me I got one foot in, one foot off the ground Chorus Sitting here while you're fast asleep In the bathroom by the sink Trying to write the right words down I turn out the lights, close my eyes There ain't no prayers or kiss goodnight What I'll forget to say tomorrow, I'll say now Janie don't you take your love to town Chorus MIDNIGHT IN CHELSEA J. Bon Jovi, Dave Stewart The kids 'round here look just like sticks They trade old licks with a beat up six I just smile and catch the groove Gothic girls all dress in black Serious as heart attacks It takes a little bit of getting used to The old man with the whiskey stains Lost the night forgot his name His poor wife will sleep alone again And it ain't hard to understand Why she's holding on to her own hand Chorus: It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea No one's asking me for favors No one's looking for a savior They're too busy saving me (Repeat Chorus) I've seen a lone, sloane ranger drive seems her chauffeur took a dive And sold her secrets to the sun And later in a magazine I finally figured what it means To be a saint, not a queen Two lustful lovers catch a spark And chase their shadows in the dark Someone's getting off tonight Of a big red bus that's packed so tight It disappears in a trail of light Somewhere someone's dreaming baby it's all right... Chorus: It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea No one's asking me for favors No one's looking for a savior They're too busy saving me Midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea No one's pinned dreams on me No one's asking me to bleed I'm the man I want to be When Chelsea girls sing... It's morning when I go to sleep In the distant dawn a church bell rings Another day is coming on A baby's born, an old man dies Somewhere young lovers kiss good-bye I leave my soul and just move on And wish that I was there to sing this song Chorus: It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea No one's asking me for favors No one's looking for a savior They're too busy saving me It's midnight in Chelsea, midnight in Chelsea No one's pinned dreams on me No one's asking me to bleed I'm the man I want to be The man I want to be, the man I want to be Midnight in Chelsea UGLY J.

Bon Jovi You think you know me just because you know my name You think you see me 'cause you've seen every line on my face You want to want me just because I say that I want you But does it matter if anything I'm saying is the truth You need somebody, somebody to hold on to But this ain't the movies and we ain't heroes Chorus: Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn My boots just keep on walkin', but my heart don't understand Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand I said I want you, but when we woke up one of us was crying You rolled over and all you said was - "Man, I think I'm dying" Our song is over, this band of gold has been feeling like a noose You place your bets, 'cause no one thinks they'll lose Chorus The light of love can blind you 'til you cover up your eyes And you try to find the reason not to say good-bye It's the curse of every sailor standing on dry land Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand The night is fading, like my old tattoo A heart and a dagger, that says "Forever" Chorus: Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn I'm getting tired of talkin', even I don't understand Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand EVERY WORD WAS A PIECE OF MY HEART J. Bon Jovi I've been staring at the page For what seems like days I guess I put this one off for a while Did I see a tear fall from your eyes Or did you laugh so hard that you cried When I served my secrets on a silver tray to you Hey now, I guess the night's just bringing me down Chorus: There's no love, there's no hate I left them there for you to take But, know that every word was a piece of my heart You've been the blood in my veins The only one who knows my middle name And the smiles they came easy 'cause of you You know that I love you, but I hate you 'Cause I know I can never escape you Let the choir sing for tonight I'm an easy mark Hey now, am I acting just a little too proud Chorus: Have I said too much Maybe I haven't said enough But know that every word was a piece of my heart Hush me darling, maybe I've lost my touch Maybe I've lost my guts - there, is that truth enough Hey now, Hey now You know these love letters mix with whisky Just don't light a match when you kiss me Though I'll blow away, you know I'll be back soon Hey now, Hey now, Hey now, am I talking just a little too loud Chorus Have I said too much Maybe I haven't said enough But know that every word was a piece of my heart Hey now, am I talking just a little too proud Hey now, the night's just bringing me down IT'S JUST ME J. Bon Jovi You know your favorite old pair of shoes The ones with the hole in the toe you won't lose Your favorite record that's all scratched and used But still you love to play when your feeling blue That faded rose that's all dried out Those Bukowski poems we couldn't live without Your high school picture when you had wild hair That stormy day on the beach that got us here Oh, you better believe there's just one thing you need Can't you see... Chorus: It's just me baby It's just me baby If there's just one thing that you should keep In your book of dreams It's just me baby Just like a shadow 10 feet tall Standing right behind you should you fall I'll be the one to hold you up to walk When this wicked world makes us want to crawl And if your waves should ever break at sea I'll be there waiting, I'm that sandy beach I'm that same old dog, scratching those same fleas I'll be by your side, you can count on me Chorus It's just me baby What's it gonna take to make you see What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me Oh, how my smile fades and my heart just breaks Every time you go away Chorus It's just me baby What's it gonna take to make you see What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me And if someday some new memory comes along Looking shiny new, feeling really strong You can tell him that I'll tell him He can just move on I'm a fighter - I've been fighting for you all night long It's just me baby DESTINATION ANYWHERE J.

Bon Jovi A penny for your thoughts now baby Looks like the weight of the world's On your shoulders now I know you think you're going crazy Just when it seems everything's Gonna work itself out They drive you right back down And you said it ain't fair That a man walks When a bird can fly We have to kick the ground The stars kiss the sky They say that spirits live A man has to die They promised us truth Now they're giving us lies Chorus: Gonna take a miracle top save us this time And your savior has just left town Gonna need a miracle 'Cause it's all on the line And I won't let you down (No I won't let you down) The river of your hope is flooding And I know the dam is busted If you need me I'll come running I won't let you down... no, no You're looking for salvation You thought that it'd be shining Like an angel's light Well, the angels left this nation And salvation caught the last train Out tonight He lost one hell of a fight He said I'm just one man, that's all I'll ever be I never can be everything you wanted from me I've got plans so big That any blind man could see I'm standing in the river Now I'm drowning in the sea Chorus: Gonna take a miracle top save us this time And your savior has just left town Gonna need a miracle 'Cause your heart's on the line And your heartbeat is slowing down Your feet are grounded still You're reaching for the sky You can let 'em clip your wings 'Cause I believe that you can fly Solo Well my eyes have seen the horror Of the coming of the flood I've driven deep the thorny crown Into the soul of someone's son Still I'll look you in the eye 'Cause I've believed in things I've thought And I'll die without regret For the wars I have fought Chorus: Gonna take a miracle top save you this time And your savior has just left town Gonna need a miracle 'Cause your heart's doing time And your conscience is calling you out It ain't all for nothing Life ain't written in the sand I know the tide is coming But it's time we made a stand With a miracle BLAZE OF GLORY J. Bon Jovi I wake up in the morning And I raise my weary head I've got an old coat for a pillow And the earth was last night's bed I don't know where I'm going Only God knows where I've been I'm a devil on the run A six gun lover A candle in the wind When you're brought into this world They say you're born in sin Well at least they gave me something I didn't have to steal or have to win Well they tell me that I'm wanted Yeah, I'm a wanted man I'm a colt in your stable I'm what Cain was to Abel Mister catch me if you can Chorus: 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 Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood I'm no one's son Call me young gun You ask about my conscience And I offer you my soul You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man Well I ask if I'll grow old You ask me if I've known love And what it's like to sing songs in the rain Well, I've seen love come And I've seen it shot down I've seen it die in vain Chorus: Shot down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth 'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood I'm the devil's son Call me young gun Solo Each night I go to bed I pray the Lord my soul to keep No I ain't looking for forgiveness But before I'm six foot deep Lord, I got to ask a favor And hope you'll understand 'Cause I've lived life to the fullest Let this boy die like a man Staring down a bullet Let me make my final stand Chorus: Shot down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth I'm going out in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood And I'm no one's son Call me young gun I'm a young gun BLOOD MONEY J. Bon Jovi Hey Patty Garrett that's what I used to call you They tell me you want me but I hear they've got you They made you a lawman with a badge made of silver They paid you some money to sell them my soul Chorus: But you say this ain't about me, this ain't about you Or the good and the bad times we've both been through When the lines between brothers and justice have changed You do what you've got to cause you can't walk away I wonder what would have happened If you were the killer And I was the hero Would things be the same Or would I have traded Your life for my own life Would I have paid Your debts in your place Chorus Blood money That's what I call it 'Cause money for blood ain't no fair exchange Blood money Bought and then sold you But your conscience is all you can take to your grave SANTA FE J. Bon Jovi They say that no man is an island And good things come to those who wait But the things I hear are there Just to remind me Every dog will have his day The spirits they intoxicate me I watched them infiltrate my soul They try to say it's too late for me Tell my guns I'm coming home Chorus: I swear I'm gonna live forever Tell my maker he can wait I'm riding somewhere south of heaven Heading back to Santa Fe It's judgement day in Santa Fe Once I was promised absolution There's only one solution for my sins You gotta face your ghosts and know With no illusions That only one of you is going home again And I blame this world for making A good man evil It's this world that can drive a Good man mad And it's this world that turns a killer Into a hero Well I blame this world for making A good man bad Chorus: Now I ain't getting into heaven If the devil has his way I swear I'm gonna live forever Heading back to Santa Fe Got debts to pay in Santa Fe It's judgement day in Santa Fe Solo So I save a prayer For when I need it most To the Father, Son And the Holy Ghost And sign it from a sinner With no name When I meet my maker When I close the book On the hearts I broke And the lives I took Will he walk away 'Cause my soul's Too late to save Chorus: Now I ain't getting into heaven If the devil has his way I swear I'm gonna live forever Heading back to Santa Fe Got debts to pay in Santa Fe It's judgement day in Santa Fe JUSTICE IN THE BARREL J. Bon Jovi Hey mister can you help me I'm a loner on the run I'm just looking for tomorrow And I ain't gonna hurt no one I jumped headfirst into a bottle I was looking for a friend Came up just short of nothing I didn't find the truth I only found an end So tell me who's gonna save me Or my father or my son When the only justice a man can see Is the barrel... of a loaded gun I been broke and I've been hungry I think they're both my middle name But I don't never ever never seem to get enough Still guess I can't complain 'Cause what you get in life you take it You've gotta hold on and make it last They say good things come to those who wait But it's life that goes so fast And when there's just one rule you live by Each day you kiss the rising sun When you live and die by the life we breathe In the barrel of a loaded gun Guns talk to me in my sleep at night And a gun somewhere is burning With my name Winners are losers And losers will have to face All those yesterdays And all of the dreams they blew away So Mister can you help me Or are you my gun Have the ghosts of justice Brought you here to me to taste The barrel of a loaded gun There's justice in the barrel Of a loaded gun NEVER SAY DIE J. Bon Jovi As we stood there older than men And younger than the boys (that's right) We were as still as the wind That blows on a hot August night And you were lonesome As a jukebox But deadly just the same I could be as gentle as a newborn Then spit into the eye of a hurricane And we knew how to laugh And we knew how to cry Yeah, we sure knew how to live But we don't ever Never say die Never say die I guess you'd say we had a pact These words we knew so well (that's right) Still they remained unspoken And we'd take them to the fiery Gates of hell Once I was afraid of love But when it's your brother Those things change 'Cause love is just another word For trust So hear me when I say Never say die Never say no You got to look them in the eye And don't let go When it's your own blood you'll bleed And your own tears you'll cry When you're brought up to believe That it's the strong who survive Never say die Solo Yeah, and we could run like lightning Through the pouring rain And we'll be standing like a soldier Who comes marching home again They ask what it is that I want written On the gravestone where I'll lie Tell them it's just my bones That died there So save the tears they'll cry My spirit is still riding somewhere Somewhere in this night When it's these three words that come to me As I kiss this world goodbye Never say die Never say no You got to look them in the eye And don't let go When it's your own blood you'll bleed And your own tears you'll cry When you're brought up to believe That it's the strong who survive Never say die YOU REALLY GOT ME NOW J. Bon Jovi You're dancing with your shadow You been talking in your sleep Well you can walk on water But don't want to wet your feet Chorus: You really got me You really got me now You know I don't know how you do it But you really put me through it You got me You say you talk to everyone Who is anyone in town But they don't recognize you With your foot out of your mouth Chorus Who am I to judge a man Who says he's his own biggest fan It's true You brought a knife out to a gunfight And you're shouting that I'm dead My old friends Smith and Wesson Think you're in over your head Chorus Repeat BANG A DRUM J. Bon Jovi I went to see the preacher To teach me how to pray He looked at me and smiled Then the preacher turned away He said if you want to tell him something You ain't gotta fold your hands Say it with your heart Your soul and believe it And I'd say amen Bang a drum for the sinners Bang a drum for the sins Bang a drum for the losers And those who win Bang a drum bang it loudly Or as soft as you need Bang a drum for yourself son And a drum for me I called upon my brother just the Other day, he said: John I'm gonna Die if I don't start to live again I work each day and night like clockwork Just trying to make ends meet I could kick this bad world's ass If I could just get on my feet I'd bang a drum for the dying Bang a drum for the truth Bang a drum for the innocence Lost in our youth Bang a drum bang it loudly Or as soft as you need Bang a drum for you brother And a drum for me I don't know where all the rivers run I don't know how far, I don't know how come But I'm gonna die believin' Each step that I take Ain't worth the ground that I walk on If we don't walk it our Own way No I don't claim to be a wiseman A poet or a saint I'm just another man who's searching For a better way But my heart beats loud as thunder For the things that I believe Sometimes I wanna run for cover Sometimes I want to scream Bang a drum for tomorrow Bang a drum for the past Bang a drum for the heros That won't come back Bang a drum for the promise Bang a drum for the lies Bang a drum for the lovers And the tears they've cried Bang a drum bang it loudly Or as soft as you need But as long as my heart keeps on bangin' I got a reason to believe DYIN' AIN'T MUCH OF A LIVIN' J. Bon Jovi A whiskey bottle comforts me And tells me not to cry While a full moon says a prayer for me I try to close my eyes But the night's there to remind me Of the guns and the early graves The ghosts appear as I fall asleep To sing an outlaw's serenade Chorus: Dyin' ain't much of a livin' When you're livin' on the run Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young Is it too late to ask for forgiveness For the things that I have done Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young The desert's been a friend to me It covers me by night And a snakebite's not my enemy But it taught me how to fight All this fame don't bring you freedom Though it wears a this disguise When an outlaw is just a man to me And a man has to die Chorus Solo And I hope someone will pray for me When it's my turn to die... pray for me Chorus THESE DAYS (1995) HEY GOD J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora Hey God, I'm just a little man got a wife and family But I almost lost the house, yeah I bought into the dream We're barely holding on when I'm in way too deep We're two paychecks away from living out on the streets She's a workin' single mom, like a saint she don't complain She never says a word, but she thinks that she's to blame Her son just got convicted, he blew some punk away She did her best to raise him, but the world got in the way Chorus: Hey God - tell me what the hell is going on Seems like all the good shit's gone It keeps on getting harder hanging on Hey God, there's nights you know I want to scream These days you're even harder to believe I know how busy you must be, but Hey God.... Do you ever think about me Born into the ghetto in 1991, just a happy child Playing beneath the summer sun A vacant lot's his playground, by 12 he's got a gun The odds are bet against him, junior don't make 21 Chorus I'd get down on my knees, I'm going to try this thing your way Seen a dying man too proud to beg spit on his own grave Was he too gone to save? Did you even know his name? Are you the one to blame, I got something to say Chorus SOMETHING FOR THE PAIN J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora, D. Child Happiness, it's been no friend to me But forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy But I lost my faith when I hit reality I don't need no guru to tell me what to do When you're feeling like a headline on yesterday's news Come on , Come on, Come on Chorus: Give me something for the pain Give me something for the blues Give me something for the pain When I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose Give me something for the pain Give me something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right, something like you Loneliness has found a home in me My suitcase and guitar are my only family I've tried to need someone, like they needed me I opened up my heart but all I did was bleed I don't need no lover, just to get screwed They don't make no bandage that's gonna cover my bruise Come on , Come on, Come on Chorus Pull me under (help I'm falling) Run through my veins (night is calling) To a place (feels like I'm flying) Where I feel no pain (Christ - I'm dying) Be the pillow under my head Give me cover when I'm in my bed Take me higher than I've ever been Take me down and back again Come to me, be my disguise Open your coat, let me crawl inside Come on, Come on, Come on Come on , Come on, Come on Chorus Come on , Come on, Come on Chorus THIS AIN'T A LOVE SONG J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora, D. Child Should've seen it coming when the roses died Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes I should have listened when you said good night You really meant goodbye 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've played that fool for you I cried and cried There were nights that I died for you baby I tried and I tried to deny, your love drove me crazy baby Chorus: If the love that I've got for you is gone If the river I've 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 And now it's so sad that whatever we had Ain't worth saving oh oh oh Chorus If the pain that I'm feeling's 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, your love drove me crazy Chorus Then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong This ain't a love song oh oh oh no no THESE DAYS J. Bon Jovi I was walking around, just a face in the crowd Trying to keep myself out of the rain Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown Wondered if I might end up the same There's a man out on the corner, singing old songs about change Everybody's got their cross to bear these days She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams To a motel room on the boulevard I guess she's trying to be James Dean She's seen all the disciples and all the wanna-be's No one wants to be themselves these days Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days Chorus: These days - the stars seem out of reach These days - there ain't a ladder on the streets These days - are fast, love don't last in this graceless age There ain't anybody left but but us these days Jimmy Shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly From a second storey window, he just jumped and closed his eyes His mamma said he was crazy - he said "Mamma I've got to try, Don't you know that all my heroes died And I guess I'd rather die than fade away" Chorus: These days - the stars seem out of reach But these days - there ain't a ladder on the streets These days - are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age Even innocence has caught the midnight train And there ain't anybody left but but us these days I know Rome's still burning Though the times have changed This world keeps turning round and round and round and round These days Chorus: These days - the stars seem out of reach But these days - there ain't a ladder on the streets These days - are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age Even innocence has caught the midnight train And there ain't anybody left but but us these days These days - the stars seem out of reach These days - there ain't a ladder on the streets These days - are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age There ain't no time to waste There ain't anybody left to take the blame And there ain't anybody left but but us these days There ain't anybody left but but us these days LIE TO ME J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora Rumour has it that your daddy's coming down He's gonna pay the rent Tell me baby, is this as good as this life is gonna get It feels like there's a stranger standing in these shoes But I know I can't lose me 'cause then I'd be losing you I know I promised baby I would be the one to make our dreams come true I ain't too proud of all the struggles And the hard times we've been through When this cold world comes between us Please tell me you'll be brave Cause I can realize the danger when forgiveness fades away Chorus: If you don't love me - lie to me 'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be Right now if you don't love me baby - lie to me Pour another cup of coffee, babe I got something to say to you I ain't got the winning ticket Not the one that's gonna pull us through No one said that it'd be easy, let your old man take you home But know if you walk out on me That darling, I'd be gone Chorus Baby - I can take it It's a bitch, but life's a roller coaster ride The ups and downs will make you scream sometimes It's hard believing that the thrill is gone But we got to go around again, so let's hold on Chorus Baby I can take it C'mon lie to me..... DAMNED J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora I'm lying here beside you In someone else's bed Knowing what we're doing's wrong But better left unsaid Your breathing sounds like screaming, it's all that I can stand His ring is on your finger, but my heart is in your hands Chorus: Damned if you love me - damned if you don't It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go Damned if you don't need me - damned if you do God , I wish it wasn't me standing in these shoes Damned, damned A door slams like a shotgun, you jump up to your feet But it's just the wind blowing through the secrets that we keep Made me wanna want you, God knows I need to need you By the time the love is over, I'll be sleeping on the streets Chorus Why won't you talk to me? Because I'm too blind to see Why won't you look at me? Because I'm afraid to breathe What do you want from me? All that I can stand The lies are on my tongue and I can't turn back I know The soul is damned Don't worry I ain't gonna call you or hear you say my name And if you see me on the street, don't wave just walk away Our lives are getting twisted, let's keep our stories straight The more that I resist it, my temptation turns to fate Chorus MY GUITAR LIES BLEEDING IN MY ARMS J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora Misery likes company, I like the way that sounds I've been trying to find the meaning, so I can write it down Staring out the window, it's such a long way down I'd like to jump, but I'm afraid to hit the ground Chorus: I can't write a love song the way I feel today I can't sing no song of hope, I got nothing to say Life is feeling kind of strange, since you went away I sing this song to you wherever you are As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms I'm tired of watching TV, it makes me want to scream Outside the world is burning, man it's so hard to believe Each day you know you're dying from the cradle to the grave I get so numb sometimes, that I can't feel the pain Chorus Staring at the paper, I don't know what to write I'll have my last cigarette - well, turn out the lights Maybe tomorrow I'll feel a different way But here is my delusion, I don't know what to say Chorus I can't write a love song the way I feel today I can't sing no song of hope, There's no one left to save And I can't fight the feelings, buried in my brains I send this song to wherever you are, As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms (IT'S HARD) LETTING YOU GO J. Bon Jovi It ain't no fun lying down to sleep And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep I wish the stars up in the sky would all just call in sick And the clouds would take the moon out on some one-way trip I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend But somehow they drove me back here once again To the place I lost at love, the place I lost my soul I wish I'd just burn down this place that we called home It would all have been so easy If you'd only made me cry And told me how you're leaving me To some organ grinder's lullaby It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart It's hard letting you go Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to Well, me, these days I just miss you It's the nights that I go insane Unless you're coming back For me, that's one thing I know that won't change It's hard, so hard - It's tearing out my heart It's hard letting you go Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart And we'll find you somebody else new But I've made my last trip to those carnival lips When I bet all that I had on you It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard It's hard letting you go It's hard, so hard - It's tearing out my heart But it's hard letting you go HEARTS BREAKING EVEN J. Bon Jovi, D. Child It's been a cold, cold, cold, cold night tonight And I can't get you off my mind God knows I've tried Did I throw away the best part of my life When I cut you off, did I cut myself with the same damn knife Hide my tears in the pouring rain, had my share of hurt and pain Don't say my name, run away, cause it's all in vain Chorus: My hearts breaking even, now there's no use we even try Hey I cried, yeah I died, hell I almost died Don't got a reason, let's just fold the cards and say good-bye It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight It's been a long, long, long time Since I've had your love here in my hands We didn't understand it, we couldn't understand it But, nothing's fair in love and hate You lay it all down and walk away, before it's too late We danced all night as the music played The sheets got tangled in the mess we made There in the stains, we remain, No one left to blame Chorus Go on, get on with your life, Yeah - I'll get on with mine Broken hearts can't call the cops, yeah it's the perfect crime Twisting and turning the night keeps me yearning I'm burning alive I'm paying the price again But I'll see the light again My hearts breaking even, now there's no use we even try Hey I cried, yeah I died, hell I almost died Don't got a reason, let's just fold the cards and say good-bye It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN J. Bon Jovi I lost all faith in my God, in his religion too I told the angels they could sing their songs to someone new I lost all trust in my friends, I watched my heart turn to stone I thought that I was left to walk this wicked world alone Tonight I'll dust myself off Tonight I'll suck my gut in I'll face the night and I'll pretend I got something to believe in And I had lost touch with reason I watched life criticize the truth Been waiting for a miracle I know you have too Though I know I won't win I'll take this one on the chin We'll raise a toast and I'll pretend I got something to believe in Chorus If I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe the Pope If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe the dope If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin In a world that gives you nothing, we need something to believe in. Chorus IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora I played the part of a broken heart upon a shelf I played that part so lonely and so well Thought that love belonged to someone else, not me and you Yeah, I know that you've been shattered , you been bruised We both know what it feels like when you lose But I'd bet my life on the roll of the dice for you Chorus: If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do Tonite 's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you Do I have to break down, baby just to break through If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do If that's what it takes... I bet you counted all the tears I bet you've cried I bet you swore you'd never let love back inside 'Cause it hurt you way too bad to say good-bye Now, there'll be times when I might put us to the test And it's hard for broken hearts to just forget But I'm driving blind, I'll lay it all on the line for you Chorus So, when you feel like jumping, Just when your heart starts pumpking When you're standing out on that ledge-staring over the edge I'll be there to talk you down, I'll be there before you hit the ground Chorus DIAMOND RING J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora, D.

Bon Jovi, R. Sambora, D. Bryan You want commitment Take a look into these eyes They burn with a fire Till 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 I would give anything My blood my love my life If you were in these arms tonight Chorus: I'd hold you I'd need you I'd get down on my knees for you And make everything all right If you were in these arms I'd love you I'd please you I'd tell you that I'd never leave you And love you till the end of time If you were in these arms tonight We stared at the sun And we made a promise A promise this world would never blind us These are our words Our words were our songs Our songs are our prayers These prayers keep me strong And I still I believe If you were in these arms tonight Chorus Your clothes are still scattered All over our room The whole place still smells like Your cheap perfume Everything here reminds me of you And there's nothing that I wouldn't do And these were our words They keep me strong baby Chorus BED OF ROSES J. Bon Jovi Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know 'Cause a bottle of vodka still lodged in my head And some blond gave me nightmares I think she's still in my bed As I dream about movies They won't make of me when I'm dead With an ironclad fist I wake up and French kiss the morning While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head While we're talking About all of the things that I long to believe About love and the truth and what you mean to me And the truth is baby you're all that I need Chorus: I want to lay you in a bed of roses For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down on bed of roses Well I'm so far away That each step that I take is on my way home A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night Just to see through this pay phone Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you I'll just close my eyes and whisper, Baby blind love is true Chorus This hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry The barkeeper's wig's crooked And she's giving me the eye I might have said yeah But I laughed so hard I think I died When 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 Chorus IF I WAS YOUR MOTHER J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora If I was your mother Would you let me hold your hand Would you say you were my baby Would you always be my friend If I was your mother Could I teach you what's right Could I tell you stories Maybe tuck you in And kiss you sweet goodnight Tell me what I've gotta do To make my life mean more to you I could get so close it's true If I was your mother Would you always believe me 'Cause I'd wake up in the middle Of the night Just to see if you need me Tell me there's no mother To who you're telling your secrets And would you tell me 'Bout all the boys you been Bringing home to meet me Tell me what I've gotta do To make my life mean more to you I could get so close it's true If I was yours Mother, mother If I was your Mother, mother When love is blood You're never on trial Love don't get deeper Than a mother & child Oh baby, I got to get that Close to you Tell me what I've gotta do To make my life mean more to you I could get so close it's true If I was yours Tell me what I got to be To make you a part of me There's no one else you'd ever need If I was your Mother, mother If I was your mother Mother, mother Mother, mother If I was your mother Mother, mother DRY COUNTY J. Bon Jovi Across the border they turn Water into wine Some say it's the devil's blood They're squeezing from the vine Some say it's a savior In these hard and desperate times For me it helps me to forget That we're just born to die I came here like so many did To find the better life To find my piece of easy street To finally be alive And I know nothing good comes easy And all good things take some time I made my bed I'll lie in it To die in it's the crime You can't help but prosper Where the streets are paved with gold They say the oil wells ran deeper here than anybody's known I packed up on my wife and kid And left them back at home Now there's nothing in this pay dirt The ghosts are all I know Now the oil's gone The money's gone And the jobs are gone Still we're hangin' on Down in dry county They're swimming in the sand Praying for some holy water To wash the sins from off our hand Here in dry county The promise has run dry Where nobody cries And no one's getting out of here alive In the blessed name of Jesus I heard a preacher say That we are God's children And He'd be back someday And I hoped that he knew Something as he drank his cup of wine I didn't have too good of a feeling As I head out to the night I cursed the sky to open I begged the clouds for rain I prayed to God for water For this burning in my veins It was like my soul's on fire And I had to watch the flames All my dreams went up in ashes And my future blew away Now the oil's gone And the money's gone And the jobs are gone Still we're hangin' on Down in dry county They're swimming in the sand Praying for some holy water To wash the sins from off our hand Here in dry county The promise has run dry Where nobody cries And no one's getting out of here alive Men spend their whole lives Waiting praying for their big reward But it seems sometimes The payoff leaves you feeling Like a dirty whore If I could choose the way I'll die Make it by the gun or knife 'Cause the other way there's too much pain Night after night after night Down in dry county They're swimming in the sand Praying for some holy water To wash the sins from off our hand Here in dry county The promise has run dry Where nobody cries And no one's getting out of here alive WOMAN IN LOVE J.

Bon Jovi I see you looking over your shoulder Tell me who do you think's out there You're reaching for your four leaf clover But baby there ain't no luck down there I swear that there's no heart in this city It's here the slogan reads "Do your time" everybody's doing their sentence It's just there ain't nobody here Who knows just what's the crime I watched my father live a lie here I'd rather die than fade away I read the rules And yeah I know them Still you ain't ever gonna Make me play the game of Fear Fear Fear Fear Running with the rats Through the city Makes you feel like you're A partner in crime Girl once you won't stop to watch That little girl did Hey baby won't you stop and hear me Just being here we're breathing heart attacks We can run and chase The setting sun we can run And we won't ever look back Take my hand I know we'll make it I'll let nothing slow us down I know you want to curse This place but there's only One thing that's stopping us now Fear fear fear Of a new thing Fear fear fear Of the brass ring You ain't one for taking chances You work and live and breathe that 9 to 5 Still that's what you call living That's surviving to me And surviving is living to die in Fear I WANT YOU J. Bon Jovi The last time I saw her Was the night she said good-bye She said that love's a stranger And it's sure to pass you by As she packed up her belongings She wouldn't look me in the eye But I could see a tear roll off her face As we both tried so hard Not to cry she said Chorus: I never wanted the stars I never shot for the moon I like them right where they are All I wanted was you So baby just turn away Because I can't face the truth All I'm trying to say is All I wanted was you I tried so hard to remember Where when how why love went away I tried to drown myself in pity But your memory kept calling your name I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings Baby all the things that money brings And the servants to paint the skies blue And I worked so hard seven days a week And built a fortress for your heart to keep If I could I'd wrap these words up for you Chorus I may have built for you a dream house But never thought you were alone I filled the party up with company But never made our house a home All I got is my guitar these chords and the truth All I got is my guitar ... but all I want is you BLAME IT ON THE LOVE OF ROCK & ROLL J.

Bon Jovi Joey comes from a sacred part of town Where sometimes you talk so tough Your feet don't touch the ground And the sidewalk soldiers sing their midnite blues While the old men recite their story lines About when I was young like you Chorus: They say: Oh yeah We were cruising to the backbeat Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats We were wild, wild in the streets Wild, wild in the streets A member of the boy's brigade Had a date with the girl next door You know it made her daddy crazy But it only made her want him more They weren't looking for trouble You know that boy didn't want a fight - not tonight So she headed out thru the bathroom window What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright Chorus Wild, wild in the streets Wild, wild in the streets Sometimes this town ain't pretty But you know it ain't so bad Just like a girl who looks so happy When inside she's so sad In here we got this code of honor Nobody's going down You don't walk in vain Through the kid's parade 'Cause this is my hometown 7800 FAHRENHEIT (1985) IN AND OUT OF LOVE J.

Bon Jovi One heart one other They met last summer One move she started Now they love this way The pain of pleasure Lying together You're at their mercy As the telephone' ringing on No one said there'd be nights like this Risk your life for a stolen kiss Chorus: We live, we learn, we lie For the price of love We kiss then say good-bye For the price of love We live, we learn, we lie For the price of love We kiss then say good-bye For the price of love Each move goes so slow Until the doors close No secret codes now No words as baby goes down One last dance then good-bye Practicing his love lies He runs to his wife And your left holding the knife You live your life to take that chance When your a master of the art of romance And you know you won't cross that line Until that last slow dance Chorus Alone our lonely hearts would die. It's all in the game And the way that it's played There's no time to wonder why To catch you when you fall Answer when you call No one can hear you cry Chorus ONLY LONELY J. Bon Jovi, D. Bryan Another long and sleepless night You need someone to hold you tight Sometimes love don't know wrong from right Another long and senseless Fight was all you knew they're all the same There's no one left to take the blame What's behind this masquerade How do we win these losin' Games we play, words we say Cutting wounds we know they run so deep Leave it all behind you Or someday love will find you Chorus: Only lonely -- I can't stop hurting you Only lonely -- but I can't stop loving you Only lonely -- how much pain does it take It's getting sometimes I don't know When to stop when to go Sometimes we're so afraid to let it show A stolen kiss so out of place It wipes the smile right off your face And when those feelings start We let them go, let them go Games we play, words we say Cutting wounds that run so deep Leave it all behind you Or someday love will find you Only lonely -- I can't stop hurting you Only lonely -- but I can't stop loving you Only lonely -- so tell me babe, how much pain can you take before your heart breaks? I got this time bomb ticking in my head This time I think she's gonna blow How can I say get away When I just can't let go Games we play, words we say Cutting wounds that run so... Leave it all behind you Or someday love will find you Chorus KING OF THE MOUNTAIN J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora Listen people can't you hear the voices that are crying out There's a hunger burning in the heart of their souls Maybe now that I got you let me tell you what I'm talking 'bout Stand up and shout tonight we'll lose control I been down and mistreated Now we're standing undefeated Chorus: I'm the King of the Mountain I'm the King of the Hill I'm the King of the Mountain I'm the King of the Hill You spend your life working 9 to 5 it's like doing time Boss man says "Hey boy, you'll never be no good" With the night there's a magic in the air that makes us come alive Tonight's the night they can't put you down, no one could I been down and mistreated Now we're standing undefeated Chorus Listen people can't you hear the voices that are crying out. There's a hunger burning in the heart of their souls. Maybe now that I got you let me tell you what I'm talking 'bout Stand up and shout tonight we'll lose control I been down and mistreated We won't be cheated Now we're standing undefeated... Chorus SILENT NIGHT J. Bon Jovi After the smoke clears When it's down to you and I When the sun appears And there's nothing left but good-byes We'll just turn and walk away How could we let it end like this Just turn and walk away Should we seal it with a kiss It's too late Now you're out and on the run It's too late Held up in love without a gun Chorus Silent night We hold up our candle light Silent night The night our love died No words to say And we're both too tired to fight Just hold me close and don't let go... It was all so simple when You were to be queen and I'd be your king I guess those dreams got lost Cause baby you're still you and I'm still me Now letting go It's always the hardest part to fight When we both know We're just two more victims of the night It's too late Too late to wonder why Much too late To save a love that's died. Chorus Just hold me close and don't let me go After the smoke cleared It was down to you and I When the sun appeared There was nothing left but good-byes... Silent night TOKYO ROAD J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora In a time, in a place In a world, they forgot Lives the heart of me A part that just won't die Just a boy, not a man Sent to war, in a land They said we'd fight for their freedom But I felt like a hired hand Sometimes I have to find my way Sometimes I have to get away Chorus: Take me back to Tokyo Road Take me back to Tokyo Road Working hard, for a pass Got the night, make it last It was a time to remember All my life I would never forget In a bar, breathing smoke Snorting whiskey, drinking coke It was a time when no one would die And there wasn't a care Sometimes I wish it was that way Cause sometimes I have to get away Chorus This guy turns me around and he's pointing up the stairs I found myself in her doorway but there wasn't anybody there She walked in the room with nothing on but a red light And with a smile she got so close to me. She whispered something 'bout midnight You know I didn't understand a word she said But it felt so good She knew that I didn't have any money But baby I knew she would... Chorus THE HARDEST PART IS THE NIGHT J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora, D. Bryan In the heat of the street of the city A young boy hides the pain And he walks so tall, trying to hang on But he knows he's going down again I know he's going down... Darkness fades he's the prince of his city In a place where they all know your name You can see in their eyes life so paralyzed. Your just a pawn in a losin' game You lose at life it ain't no game Chorus: Hear their cries The hardest part is the night (In the night, hear their cries, in the night) Stay alive The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night... All alone in a place where the lonely They all have to walk through the rain And they dance on the edge where you only Only pray that it has to end That the night ain't no friend Chorus These four walls they could tell you some stories About lying and dying and fame There's a price that you pay for the glory About losing and choosing and pain. Chorus ALWAYS RUN TO YOU J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora The clock strikes ten Out on the streets again I been looking for something to please me since I don't know when Out on the dark side of town Another rumble's gone down And life on the high side isn't what this boys about She's got something I want man, it's something I need It takes more than the night to satisfy me... Chorus: I stand accused I can always run to you Any road that you choose I can always run to you I stand accused I can always run to you I run to you Baby, I can always run To a heart of chrome And a soul of steel We've done more white lines than you'll know any one we could steal And when I give her the gun You know she feels so right And we don't let go when we're alone when I'm holding her so tight She's got something I want man, it's something I need It takes more than the night to satisfy me Chorus And when the morning comes and I go to sleep When I close my eyes she's waiting for me I know that tonight she'll satisfy me Chorus (I DON'T WANNA FALL) TO THE FIRE J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora, D. Bryan We would take no prisoners 'Cause there was nobody giving in They came walking through my jungle And met an angel about to sin I heard a voice from inside of me When the youth of America cried: Can you help me, hear me call Chorus: I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall) I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall) To the fire I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall) I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall) To the fire When you're a part of society You know, the heart of your innocence dies When we met with Authority I looked him right between the eyes 'Cause all we had was our innocence All we had was our hearts to try to win the fight you tell me... Can you save me, from it all Chorus Can you help me, hear me call Can you save me, from it all Chorus SECRET DREAMS J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora, T. Torres, B. Grabowski Riding high, then shot down I load my guns to fire another round I look deep into your eyes And can't run there's nowhere left to hide Don't stop, no it's much too late When the night comes I can't wait Oh I live, love to loose control It makes me crazy I want to let you know Chorus: Oh, no, I don't want to fall Oh, oh, can't you hear me calling All night long in my secret dreams You tell me I'm the one When I'm next to you -- next to you. All I want in my secret dreams Is you here with me. I got to get to you, get to you, get to you. There's a thrill, in the chase We won't lose when we meet face to lace. Love, games a means without and end. I go down but I'll be back again Through the night with no retreat When you're with me in my sleep. Chorus I can see you I feel you every night I need you But I'm only dreaming All night long in my secret dreams You tell me I'm the one When I'm next to you -- next to you. All I want in my secret dreams Is you here with me. BON JOVI (1984) RUNAWAY J. Bon Jovi, G.

Sambora I've been lied to, you been cheated I've been cried to, you been mistreated I've been watching you, you want action You need love and I need satisfaction Chorus: I'm burning for love Filled with desire I can't stand the heat And my heart's on fire I can't get enough It's down to the wire I'm making my move, I'm looking for you I'm burning for love You're the victim it's in your eyes I'm the suspect and love's the crime Tensions mounting bodies shaking I can't take the anticipation Chorus Now that I got you in my sight Can't take another sleepless night Oh, no, no You can run but you can't hide You're the only one I need To feel the fire inside Chorus COME BACK J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora Now that you're gone, I can see what Was going on and how you lied When you'd said you'd never love again Friends telephone and they say You weren't out alone last night Can't you see that this broken heart Is killing me Another night is falling And now my heart is calling you back to me Chorus: Come back cause I need your love Come back got to have your love Come back bring your loving back to me Come back cause it's been so long Come back, and my love's still strong Come back bring your loving back to me You play with words play with love It's just your silly way I'm a fool cause I need you by my side again Now it's too late you walk by With another man And I stand alone Cause I know that you're not coming home Another night is falling And now my heart is calling you back to me Chorus Another night is falling And now my heart is calling you back to me Chorus GET READY J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora You need someone to make it last No Romeos who'll love and leave you fast They fade away Tonight you're not gonna be alone Making love on the telephone Baby, baby if you can hold on I'm gonna take you all the way tonight I like 'em down and dirty, so hold on tight Chorus: Come on get ready Come on get ready You're looking sharp in your dancing shoes You got the style and you got the moves Oh you're so hot, girl and on the loose You're caught up in a danger zone Just seventeen but you act full grown The night life, baby, is turning you on You want to take me all the way tonight Take my hand, you can feel the heat Make you feel all right Chorus Come on Come on ; all these are catched up from http://www.geocities.com/southbeach/6045/ ; Heid's Home Page
