The Boys Are Back In Town
 
Guess who just got back today,
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away,
Haven't changed, had much to say,
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around,
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were livin' downtown,
Drivin' all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
You know that chick that used to dance a lot,
Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got
Man, when I tell ya she was cool, she was red hot
And that time over at Johnny's place,
Well, this chick, she got up and slapped Johnny's face,
Man, we just fell about the place,
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill,
Down at Deano's bar and grill
The drink will flow, and blood will spill,
And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song,
The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long,
Won't be long 'til summer comes,
Now that the boys are here again
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town

Real Life
Written by : Jon Bon Jovi & Desmond Child
 
I wish that life was like it is in the movies
‘Cause the hero always gets his way
No matter how hard it gets on that dark, lonely road
At the end he's got a smile on his face
But when they threw me out to the lions
No one saved me as I fell from your grace
And no one wrote me new lines for what I said wrong
And what I did wrong I could not erase
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I'm sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside that I can't hide
I wish that I could be a white knight in armor
With an army just to bring you back home
But I'll admit I'm scared of dialing your number
And someone else is gonna answer the phone
Why can't it be like it is on TV
When the orchestra plays and you come back to me
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain that much I'm sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside that I can't hide
This is real life, this is real love
These are real wounds that I'm bleeding from
And I realize this is real
I always thought that our love was a story book tale
God knows that I'd never dream in the end it would fail
‘Cause this is real life, this is real love
This is real pain that much I'm sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside that I can't hide
This is real life, this is real love
These are real wounds that I'm bleeding from
And I realize this is real
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I’m sure of

Lyrics
American Dreams

I used to see you on every T.V
Your smiling face looked back at me.
I used to see you on every T.V
Your smiling face looked back at me.

Then they caught you with the girl next door,
People's money piled on the floor,
Accusations that you ty to deny,
Revelations and rumours begin to fly.

Now you think about reaching out
Try to get some help from above.
Now you think about reaching out
Try to get some help from above.

Reporters crowd around your house.
Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,
Speculating what they may find out,
It don't matter now, you're all washed up.

You wake up in the middle of the night.
Your sheets are wet and your face is white,
You tried to make a good thing last,
How could something so good, go bad, so fast?

American dream, American dream American dream, American dream.

Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong.
Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong.

Reporters crowd around your house.
Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,
Speculating what they may find out,
It don't matter now, you're all washed up.

Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong.
American dream, American dream.
Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong.
American dream, American dream.

Lyrics
I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas

What time is it baby, is it that time again
When snow will be falling, friends will be calling
You know it's time when, there'll be carolers singing Silent Night
I love when they sing, the feeling it brings
It's warm as a fire is bright

Soon there'll be toys for good girls and boys
And reindeer are heading our way
Yes, and Santa will come down the chimney above
There's one thing I wanted to say

I wish every day could be like Christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like Christmas, I do

I saw a child sit with old Mr. Clause,
Looked him in the eye and he asked old Santa what peace on earth was
Now the old man grew cautious, on how he would say
That it's the greatest gift what you could give, every day

I wish every day could be like Christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like Christmas, I do

Now the mistle-toes and the house of Lords
All the world seems at ease tonight
And all that I ask when these precious moments pass
Is why can't every day be so bright

I wish every day could be like Christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like Christmas, I do
Honest I do, yes I do now
Very merry Christmas

NEUROTICA

Looking like a train wreck

Sipping on her long neck

This ain't no model-actress

She's attitude and accent (alright)

Angel flying solo

Must have gone and sold your halo

She's accidental innocence

And white trash elegance (alright)

She's all mixed up

Lays in bed until 3

All messed up

She's eccentricity

Chorus:

Neurotica

Lay your love all over me

Come on, baby, go a little crazy on me

Erotica

Every school boy's fantasy

Not your ordinary woman

But she's extraordinary to me

She got a daily new addiction

A walking contradiction

Chain smoking cigarettes

Talking to her silhouette (alright)

All mixed up

A little out of time

All messed up

But she don't really mind

Chorus:

Neurotica

Lay your love all over me

Come on, baby, go a little crazy on me

Erotica

Every school boy's fantasy

She's not your ordinary woman

But she's extraordinary to me

Alright (no Jane or Gloria)

Alright (she's schizophoria)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

And when I call her I got to call her

And when I call her I call her

Solo

Chorus:

Neurotica

Lay your love all over me

Come on, baby, go a little crazy on me

Erotica

Every school boy's fantasy

Not your ordinary woman

But she's extraordinary to me

STAY

 
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 home's 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

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

ORDINARY PEOPLE

 
Little Jimmy just bought high top sneakers

Wants to fly high like his heroes can

He's got the smile like Michael Jordan

In the schoolyard, Jimmy, he's the man

I'm sitting here watching his heart beating

He's ten feet tall, all five feet four
of him

Come six o'clock working out his foul shot

Who we fooling, Mama's calling, she smiles
and says

You and me, we're ordinary people

Living in our ordinary lives

We can be ordinary people

These are extraordinary times

She lives alone, got four kids through high
school

She cleans houses and she takes in wash
at night

You'd never know that she don't have much

Because she's rich with the things money
can't buy

She don't need clothes, she don't want
diamonds

Don't need a brand new car to drive in

What she's got is love and that's a lot

At least it's a good start

You and me, we're ordinary people

Living in our ordinary lives

We can be ordinary people

These are extraordinary times

Everybody want's to be somebody

Everybody wants to be someone

We only want to watch the game on Sunday

Sit back, catch a little buzz

Ain't nobody wants to be nobody

Everybody wants a little love

Everybody wants to be the hero

And ride into the setting sun

You and me, we're ordinary people

Living in our ordinary lives

We can be ordinary people

These are extraordinary times

And I've got dreams like ordinary people

I can see them when I close my eyes at
night

Can't you see we're ordinary people

These are extraordinary times

TEMPTATION

 
You're my missing picture on my mirror

I'm running away from home

Sam I'm just a man

A rusty bucket of flesh and bones

Someday I'll seek forgiveness

For the sweet smell of her breath

She touched my hand and asked for a check

I put out my cigarette

Temptation

Temptation, go home Lord

I'm walking straight into the ocean

Tell the tide I'm on my way

Gonna hang my head down tonight on Damocles
sword*

When the angels hung out in Eden

They caught Adam chasing Eve

They said grab your boots, your coat, your
hat

My boy, it's time that you leave

She asked me if I liked to play

Cause she knew that I was broke

I cashed my chips out months ago

This smile is just mirrors and smoke

Temptation

Temptation, go home Lord

I'm walking straight into the ocean

Tell the tide I'm on my way

Gonna hang my head down tonight on Damocles
sword

Twist my wrist

Tell me I should resist

But the flesh is weak

Here comes the kiss

Come on, twist my wrist

Can't go on like this

Ah the flesh, it's weak

Here is comes, here it comes

Temptation

Temptation, go home Lord

I'm walking straight into the ocean

Tell the tide I'm on my way

Gonna lay my head down tonight on Damocles
sword

Temptation

Temptation, go home Lord

I'm walking straight into the ocean

Tell the tide I'm on my way

Gonna lay my head down tonight on Damocles
sword

I'm gonna lay my head down tonight on Damocles
sword

And hang my head down tonight on Damocles
sword

Lyrics

Edge Of A Broken Heart

And there I stood, just like a soldier
I was though, until I saw her
I said Hello, but she just turned away

Hey Romeo, watcha doin' with my girl,
Who are you using now, well I turn and walk away (Turn and walk away)

I'm gonna please her, now you can believe it
I'll be there to catch her when she falls

Oooo, here I am (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm a man (On the edge of a broken heart)
Here we stand (On the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can 'cause you know
I'm a man on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)

I'm on the outside, looking inside
You're with him, who's on the wrong side now
Do you still think of me

I've tried to call, but no one answers
Two silhouettes, a private dancer
Lights go dim, as the music starts to fade, away (Turn and walk away)

I'm the one who needs you, now you can believe it
I'll be there to catch you when you fall

Ooo you better believe I'm the man (On the edge of a broken heart)
Here I am (On the edge of a broken heart)
And we stand (On the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can 'cause you know
I'm a man on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)

(solo)

Ooohh
And when I hold out my hands I'll be reaching for you
I give it all that I've got, that's all I can do
When you're waiting for love
I'll be waiting for you (On the edge of a broken heart)
Only for you (On the edge of a broken heart)
Oh baby for you (On the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can, you know
I'm a man on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (Of a broken, broken, broken, broken, broken, broken, broken)

Let It Rain
as performed by Jon Bon Jovi and Luciano Pavarotti (Modena, 9.6.1998)
Last night I had a dream that there would be a morning after
Long days of sunshine and peace
Long nights of love, forgiveness, and laughter
Maybe it was just a dream but it could be reality
Children are like planting seeds, you’ve got to let their flowers grow
Don’t you know
Fa che piova, (Let it rain)
Fa che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
Fa che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of love)
Today I saw a child just like my child
Someone’s son or daughter
I watched as they played for a while
I wanted to cry, those babies just smiled
Maybe it was just a dream, but it should be reality
A child is just God’s sign that peace and
love are seeds that make tomorrows grow
Fa che piova, (Let it rain)
Fa che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
Fa che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of love)
Go on, we’ve tried war
No one wants peace more
Than the children who ask their dads why
Fa che piova, (Let it rain)
Fa che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
Fa che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of love)

Love Hurts
I go to work, beds arent made
Honeymoons over, bills arent paid
What happened to us?  Do we battle too much?
Man loves a woman, its never enough
A love that wont 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 were 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, well make it someday
Love Hurts, Love Hurts
Weapons of love theyll sting and theyll burn ya,
But youve got it beat yeah, if you play out your hand
Till death do us part to the end of the line
Cause words at the altar still burn in my mind.
Just cant 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 well make it someday
Love Hurts, when it needs you
Love Hurts, when it bleeds you
Love Hurts, when it bleeds you
Love Hurts
Sometimes were so afraid to try
Well sometimes its 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 well 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

Wedding Day
J. Bon Jovi / R.Sambora
Today you'll pick up all the pieces
And get on with your life
All I can hope is that you're happy
'Cause today you're someone elses wife
Right now I wish that I could turn back
And beg the hands of time
For the days that I remember (oh baby)
The days when you were mine
And if I never said I love you
It's cause the words got in the way
Now all I do is say I'm sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day
I'll bet you looked good at the altar
I'll bet he knew the words to say
And the angels smiled when you walked down the aisle
You both knelt down to pray
As he put his ring on your finger
I know there's just one thing left to say
All I can do is say I'm sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day
So Sorry
(solo)
You won't be walking through the door anymore
You won't be sleeping in this bed anymore
Tho' I swear I see your shadow waltz accross my floor
And I don't know if I can take it
Should we ever meet again
Cause I know that we'll be strangers
When he introduces friends
I tried to make it to the church now baby
A broken heart got in the way
All I can do is tell you I'm sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day
I really hope you're happy baby
Tho' it's killing me to say
All I can do is say I'm sorry
Sorry I missed you're wedding day
Sorry I missed you're wedding
I'm sorry I missed you're wedding day
I'm sorry I missed you're wedding day
I'm sorry I missed you're wedding day
