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
Ain´t no cure

Cupid was a blind man
He must have missed his mark
Shot an arrow in the air hit me in the heart
I went to see St. 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 gld
You can hire Johnny Cochran
It´s too late to save your soul

Don´t need no shot, no ambulance
Don´t need no prescription drugs
There´s 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 Johnny Cochran
It´s too late to save your soul

Don´t need no shot, no ambulance
Don´t need do 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

AMERICAN DREAM

She’s kinda cute
She’s kinda crazy
She’s a girl, she’s my lady
She’s the one that makes old men cry
She’s a girl but she’s a lady
I call her my baby
I’m in love with the American Dream

She’s walking down my street, all the boys look her way
She’s walking next to me
An instant high and you don’t have to pay
Wrap her arms around me
Then I’m down on my knees
I’ve fallen in love with the American Dream

Is this really how it happens?
Is that love coming true?
I’ve fallen in love, girl, with you
Yeah, I’ve fallen baby

BACKDOOR TO HEAVEN

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. Someone's guilty tonight
I need someone to save me, to keep me warm cause it's cold outside.
Won't you help me baby, don't you hide now.
Won't you take me darlin' for a ride now

You got me beggin' and I'm on my knees .
You 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 you just never have, never flown before.
I'm in the dark, won't you give me some light now.
Come over tell us baby what's wrong or right now

You've got me beggin' 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.

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 tonight.
You're my backdoor to heaven
Baby 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.

BETTER THINK TWICE

I just want all those modern romances
Always being in love
When any girl smiled at me I went wild at the touch of her clothes
Then bang, it’s off before I know it
Poor broken hearted me

Better think twice before falling in love again
Better think twice before falling in love

Jackie’s all alone in her room with the TV on
And she’s crying, crying
Wondering about how her and Joey been getting along
All this lying, lying
Tell her this, tell her that
Where’s these lies gonna end
Things would be much better if her and Joey just stayed friends

Better think twice before falling in love again
Better think twice before falling in love

What’s in it for you?
He’s trying to shoot you down
Long hot summer nights
Go out now and find that girl and hold her tight
Like she’s the only girl in the world

You better think twice
Better think twice before falling in love again
Better think twice before falling in love
Better think twice before falling in love again
Better think twice before falling in love

BOBBY'S GIRL

I give you my word, I fill you with promises,
I give you anything you want, I told you we could be more than friends.
You and me baby, live for the day and the dark of the night,
Anxious for tomorrow, everything gonna be all right.

Baby it doesn't matter what they say,
When they say, she's Bobby's girl, Jonny, you're playin' with dynamite.
She's Bobby's girl, close the door baby, it'll be all right

When I hear you on the telephone,
My body trembles and my blood runs hot.
You're so much more than a girl, you bring me up when I'm not.
You and me baby, on a magic carpet ride,
We live for tomorrow, everything gonna be all right.

It don't matter what they say,
when they say, she's Bobby's girl, Jonny, you're playin' with dynamite.
She's Bobby's girl, close the door baby, it'll be all right.
Come on, let's go.

When they say, she's Bobby's girl, Jonny, you're playin with dynamite.
She's Bobby's girl, come with me baby, it'll be all right.
She's Bobby's girl,
She's Bobby's girl,
She's Bobby's girl,
She's Bobby's girl.

BROKEN PROMISES / (Only Lies)
(Stranger in This Town Demo)

Do you know I’m leaving on the midnight train?
Bought a one way token and I won’t be back again

Would you smash the spider
Hidden in your web
Move before you’re bitten
And you trapped me in your bed

The girl admits she tells me lies
She took my soul and I'm taking it back
Broken promise painted on your lips
Only loneliness
Got no love to give, only lies
Got no love to give, only lies

The girl admits she tells me lies
She took my soul and I'm taking it back
Broken promises painted on your lips
Got no love to give
All your promises are only lies

Only lies fill your promises
Painted on your lips
Got no love to give
All your promises are only lies

Broken promises
Got no love to give
All your promises are only lies
Got no love to give, only lies

DEEP CUTS THE NIGHT (1986 SWW Rehearsal/Outtake)

I’ve been waitin' for this scene to end
I don’t need somebody baby, I need a friend
I work all day just like doin' time
I've stood tall through the fires of hell
And I've walked through enemy lines.

So now you’ve gone and built a wall around you
Its gonna take a heart to knock it down too.
Deep cuts the night, when you’re without love
Deep cuts the night, when you’re without love
Deep cuts the night, and it's bringing me down, its bringing me down

If I could be the hero in your masquerade,
I could sweep you off your feet and take you far away.
There ain't no saviors in the real world,
There’s only broken hearts and souls for you and me girl.

Now you've gone and built a wall around you
It's gonna take a heart to knock it down too.
Deep cuts the night, when you’re without love
Deep cuts the night, when you’re without love
Deep cuts the night, when you’re without love
Deep cuts the night, well its bringing me down

So load your guns and fire away,
All it takes is one fair shot to blow your world away.

Deep cuts the night, when you’re without love
Deep cuts the night, when you’re without love
Deep cuts the night, and it's bringin' me down, it’s bringin' me down

DOES ANYBODY REALLY FALL IN LOVE ANYMORE
(JBJ, RS, DC, Diane Warren)

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 a angel but heaven can't be found

I said hey are you lonely tonight
Hey I'm gonna make it
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 have opened the door
I know, I know, you gotta love somebody
I know, I know, I've got to find somebody to love

There's a sad face in the mirror and I'm sad to say it's me
Like a ghost up in the attic only love can set you 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 a crime
So why is everybody so afraid to cross the line

I said hey, I'll be all right
Cause I know that someone somewhere's gonna
Say these words tonight

DON'T DO THAT TO ME

Well if I told you once I've told you a thousand times,
That you can't go around messin' with people's minds.
But you like thinkin' that you'll get by,
You're breakin' hearts one by one in a line.

Well you're drivin' me crazy, and I can't go on,
Makin' love to a woman that's been playin' with me all the long.

Don't do that to me anymore,
Don't do that to me anymore,
Don't do that to me anymore,
Don't do that to me anymore.

Count the times you really made me a fool,
I guess we've both got a different set of rules.
You tried, thinkin' that I'd breakdown,
I'm not sure I need you hangin' around.

Cause you're drivin' me crazy, I just can't go on,
Makin' love to a woman that's been playin' with me all the long.

Don't do that to me anymore,
Don't do that to me anymore,
Don't do that to me anymore,
Don't do that to me anymore.
Don't do that to me anymore,
Don't do that to me anymore,
Don't do that to me anymore,
Don't do that to me baby.

I ain't your boy to kick around anymore,
I'm not a movie baby that's for sure.
No reason left for you to pretend,
I told you before and I'll tell you again.

Don't do that to me anymore,
Don't do that to me anymore,
Don't do that to me anymore,
Don't do that to me anymore.

FIELDS OF FIRE (JB)

There's no-one watching over me tonight
And I'm afraid to turn out the lights
If I close my eyes it will all go away
And I don't want to see it end this way

There was a time when truth and trust
Meant so much more to each of us
And all the dreams that we once had
That seems that some of them left us feeling bad

Now the changing of the guard
Has left us feeling so damn hard
I'll keep my distance, cause I'm a little bit afraid
Through the years, one thing hasn't changed
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

I would run through fields of fire
I would crawl on broken glass
Just to swim in your sea of devotion
Just to have a second chance
That's all I ask!

Now maybe good's not good enough
I know we've changed, but not that much
Maybe time has left us beaten up
I never was one into giving up

I ain't the hero who gets the girl
But if I had my chance to save the world
I won't blow it now, I guess I'll understand
This boys becoming a man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Chorus

Well look at your hands
Do you hear what I say
Can you count on your fingers
Each of your real friends
I know that I'm lucky
I know Im right
Fingers turn into fists
We're hear to take on the night
That's right

Now I'm staring at an open door
We've had a lot and I want much more
You can keep all the money and the streets that are paved with gold
If someone gives me back my soul
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ,yeah, yeah!

Chorus
I would run through fields of fire!
I would run through fields of fire!

I would run all way back home, I would run!
Baby all night long!

GAME OF THE HEART

I know you want me but you look away, I keep so cool back cause you're so afraid.
You keep your distance and crave my caress, we all make our choices, we all stand the test.
Yes I know, where you go.

In the game of the heart, I hear you callin' my name,
Here in the darkness the truth puts an end to your game.
In the game of the heart, you know that I know you're mine,
You'll have to face that alone at the end of the line.

Feelin' so naked we ache for the touch, I feel your eyes on me, they swallow me up.
Show me your fears and I'll put them to rest, we all make our choices we all stand the test.
Yes I know, where you go.

In the game of the heart, I hear you callin' my name,
Here in the darkness the truth puts an end to your game.
In the game of the heart, you know that I know you're mine,
You'll have the face that alone at the end of the line.
You know you're mine.

And you think that you need protection, and so we build up these walls
Well I'm gonna be the exception, so let's lift our voices and cry
Here's to the game of the heart.

Game of the heart, I hear you callin' my name,
Here in the darkness the truth puts an end to your game.
In the game of the heart, you know that I know you're mine,
You'll have to face that alone at the end of the line.
In the game of the heart.
Game of the heart, game of the heart.
Game of the heart.

GIMME SOME LOVIN' CHARLENE

I don't need a credit card to buy your love
I don't need no Cadillacs to match
Your leather gloves
'Cause baby I'm goin' crazy,
Take you by the hand
Not some blank psycho stare

You gotta give me some lovin' Charlene
Gimme some lovin' Charlene

I know your mama and she don't like me
Cause 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

You gotta give me some lovin' Charlene
Gimme some lovin' Charlene

I like your made-up eyes cause
They glow like fire
I like you moves, 'cause you never tire
And you're familiar with the back seat
Take your sweet time
You build me up so hot love's crime

You gotta give me some lovin' Charlene
Gimme Some Lovin' Charlene

GROWIN' UP THE HARD WAY

Growin' up the hard way, we're growin' 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 livin' on the run for almost a year,
Her daddy would abuse her, she's been livin' 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?

Growin' up the hard way, learnin' how to live with the pain,
The weight of the world on your shoulders, I guess that's just the price that you pay.
Growin' up the hard way, it's gettin' harder every day,
Lying in a bed made of fire, praying to God for some rain.
Growin' 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 buildin' up inside,
He was drinking from the bottle that his old man used to hide.

He stole a rented car off route 35,
And when he gunned it I heard him scream 'Straight to hell I'm gonna drive'.
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?

Growin' 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.
Growin' up the hard way, it's gettin' harder every day,
Lying in a bed made of fire, praying to God for some rain.

Growin' up the hard way, Growin' up the hard way.
Growin' up the hard way, Growin' up the hard way.

Try, to hold your head up high.
Growin' 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.
Growin' up the hard way, it's gettin' harder everyday,
Lying in a bed made of fire, praying to God for some rain.

Growin' up the hard way, Growin' up the hard way.
I'm growin' up the hard way, Growin' up the hard way baby.
Growin' up the hard way.

HEAD OVER HEELS

I've been hell raised on leather
High heel, black, cool boots
Had anything that I ever wanted
But all I wanted was you

I do, I do whatever I want
And girl I want you
You can be my one and only
Be my dream come true

I'm head over heels for you
A love that's true
Me and you
In love

You've seen all those romantic movies
The hero takes you away
You wake up and you're all alone girl
That’ll all change today

Remember being all alone
Remember crying on a rainy night
Everything gonna to be alright girl
Everything gonna to be alright

I’m head over heels for you
A love that’s true
Babe I do
I’m in love

I know what it's like baby, being in love
I've fallen girl, for you
Babe I do

I’m head over heels for you
A love that’s true
Babe I do
I’m in love

I’m head over heels for you
Say I do
Babe I do
I’m in love

HEARTBREAK EYES

So now you want to change sides, you say the lesson's been learned,
I can tell by your voice, baby just got burned.
I can see in your eyes, I can read it so well,
You're a master in disguise but it ain't hard to tell.

Anyone that's been through it before knows that look,
I can read your mind like a story book,
And there's no happy ending to this life.

Cause I can see the heartbreak in your eyes,
I can feel the pain that you cry, deep inside of those heartbreak eyes.
I hear you cry through the night, callin' over and over again.

The voices came and took advantage, now you don't wanna play,
When the word got around he gave your secrets away.
Now it's too late to cry you know the damage is done,
Dry your tears say good bye you know he wasn't the one.

All your life you been livin' out of love,
Now you've folded your cards when push came to shove.
You're just another number, just a victim of love's lies.

I can see the heartbreak in your eyes,
I can feel the pain that you cry, deep inside of those heartbreak eyes.
You hear me cry through the night, callin' over and over again.

Over and over again, you hear me cry through the night,
Callin' over and over...

I can see the heartbreak in your eyes,
I can feel the pain that you cry, deep inside of your heartbreak eyes.
You hear them cry through the night, callin' over and over, those heartbreak eyes.
I can feel the pain that you hide deep inside, deep inside of those heartbreak eyes.
You hear the cries through the night, callin' over and over those heartbreak eyes.
I can feel the hurt inside, your heartbreak eyes,
I can hear the cries at night, over and over again.

HOUSE OF FIRE

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 lets 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

Hush
It's My Life single B-Side

She says 'baby'
I love it when she calls me 'baby'
She says it's four a.m.
Why don't you grab your shoes, come on over, and then - 'maybe'
She drives me crazy
You know she knows she drives me crazy
When she says let's pretend this beer is Champagne
And we'll bathe out in the pouring rain
And I'll let you drive me crazy

She don't talk about love
We don't talk about us
What we don't say with words we say when we touch - HUSH
Come wrap your arms around me - HUSH
We don't have to talk tonight so - HUSH
What we've got's more than a crush
We write the book each time we touch - HUSH
Honey - HUSH

I said nothing
Sometimes so little said is something
There's ten things I could have said that fit
But we don't waste time on that shit
Somehow we rise above it

She don't talk about love
We don't talk too much
What we don't say with words we say when we touch - HUSH
Come wrap your arms around me - HUSH
I don't want to talk tonight now - HUSH
What we've got's more than a crush
We don't have to say too much
We write the book each time we touch - HUSH

We don't gotta talk about junk
We don't gotta talk about us
We don't want to give away too much - HUSH
Come wrap your arms around me - HUSH
I don't want to talk tonight now - HUSH
What we've got's more than a crush
We write the book each time we touch - HUSH

Honey - HUSH
Honey - HUSH

I’D DIE FOR YOU
(From SWW Demos, drastically different lyrics)

Hey operator can you try long distance one more time
You must know that number now to get my baby on the line
Hey operator, I’ve been away for so long now
Can’t you see you’re my last chance
I’ve got to get to her somehow

And out on the edge we crossed that line
Make the breaks we all desire
Out of love, you know you’re out of time

I'd die for you, I'd cry for you
I'd do anything, I'd lie for you
You know it's true, Baby I'd die for you
I'd die for you, I'd cry for you
There is nothing that I wouldn’t do
You know it's true, Baby I'd die for you

Hey operator, I only want to hear her voice
I only want to say that I never meant to make her cry
Hey operator, I need you to understand
I don’t want to waste your time
But love makes you a desperate man

Out on the edge you crossed that line
Make the breaks we all desire
Out of love, you know you’re out of time

I'd die for you, I'd cry for you
I'd do anything, I'd lie for you
You know it's true, Baby I'd die for you
Baby it’s only for you

IF I CAN’T HAVE YOUR LOVE
(Stranger in This Town Demo)

It’s hard to remember a time when I didn’t have you
When I didn’t have nothing but a cold bed to come to at night
That was all I knew but I found you
And then you took my world and turned it all around
How can I live without you now

Baby, if I can’t have your love
If I can’t feel your touch I got nothing
Baby, if I can’t taste your kiss then I don’t exist
I got nothing

I can't imagine living life without your love
No I can't imagine life without your love
I wake up with you by my side and I can't let go
‘Cause I can't even face the thought of you with another guy
I'd lose control and then I would die

And then you took my world
And pulled you out
How can I live without you now

Baby, if I can’t have your love
If I can’t feel your touch I got nothing
Baby, if I can’t taste your kiss then I don’t exist
I got nothing, I got nothing

Baby, if I can’t be your man
I wouldn’t know who I am
I got nothing, nothing baby

No I can't imagine living life without your love
No I can't imagine life without your love
Believe me baby I'm no man without you
But if you ever leave that would be the end of me baby

Baby, if I can’t have your love
If I can’t feel your touch I got nothing
If I can’t taste your kiss then I don’t exist
I got nothing

Baby, if I can’t be your man
I wouldn’t know who I am
I’d be nothing, nothing baby
If I can’t have your love
If I can’t have your love
I’d be nothing

No I can’t imagine life without your love

JUDGMENT DAY

You take and you take and you give none
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 Judgment Day
You walk through the fire, no where to run to, no one to blame
Cause Hey, Hey, Hey
Winners and losers, sinners and users, will all have to pay
On Judgment Day

Some people they call me brother, some people they say that they care
Some people they steal from the Heavens above it's going to be a cross to bear
On Judgment Day
You walk through the fire with nowhere to run to, no one to blame
Well Hey, Hey, Hey
Winners and losers, sinners and users, will all have to pay
On Judgment Day

On Judgment Day
You walk through the fire with nowhere to run to, no one to blame
Hey, Hey, Hey
Winners and losers, sinners and users, will all have to pay
On Judgment Day

LET'S MAKE IT BABY

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the fire
I see through disguise
I can see your desire

I can read your lips
I don't need no translation
It was more than a kiss
I want to make my donation

So turn out the lights
I'm going down slowly
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 a little bit closer
I want to play doctor
Its getting harder, harder, harder
To keep you away

I want to taste the sweat
Rollin' off your body
We'll get the sheets all wet
Baby, I'll make you feel naughty

Lets make it baby
Lets make it baby
Lets make it baby
Lets make it baby

SOLO

So turn out the lights
Don't you tell me you love me
Just tell me you want me
Don't tell 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

LONELY IS THE NIGHT

I need someone, I need somebody to be a friend,
I'm not alone, but still I'm lonely in the end.
She was runnin' away on the 9 o'clock train, so very far from home,
With a head full of schemes, a handful of dreams.
I was on my own.

I know you're out there, I know you're there.
Lonely, lonely is the night.
Lonely, lonely is the night.

What can I do, what can I say, to get her back,
Alone I wait before my train comes runnin' down the tracks.
Heaven knows that I'd wait if God were to say that you would come.
I guess you can say it's the price that you pay for holdin' on.

I know you're out there, I know you're there.
Lonely, lonely is the night. Lonely, lonely is the night.
Lonely, lonely is the night. Lonely, lonely is the night.

If you want me, if you need me, I'll be there,
If you want me, please believe me, I'll be waiting.

I know you're out there, I know you're there.
Lonely, lonely is the night. Lonely, lonely is the night.
Lonely, lonely is the night. Lonely, lonely is the night.

LOVE HURTS

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
Till 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 all right 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

LOVE IS WAR (demo version, altered lyrics)
J. Bon Jovi/R. Sambora

Load your guns, take sides
Raise your flag, 'cause baby, love is war

Hey baby, what ever happened to the girl next door
If I remember, she looked a lot like you
Whatever happened to the boy who said, "I'd die for you"
They're hangin' on, but love is gone and now it's war

Your lips are weapons, and they're loaded with lies
I need an army to protect my pride
You try to trap me when you start to cry
You almost got me cause I want to die

Tell me why, love is war
I surrender my heart but you still want more.
Write it in blood just to even the score
It's the way of the world, baby, love is war
Where boy meets girl, baby, love is war

Oh I remember when the love was good and the bed was hot
But now we sleep on separate sides and the sheets are cold
I used to love to taste your candy baby, now the store is closed

I know my silence tears you up inside
You built a fortress for your hurt to hide
Nobody's won cause baby it's a tie
Nowhere to run cause we can't say good bye

Tell me why, love is war
I surrender my heart but you still want more
Write it in blood just to even the score
It's the way of the world baby love is war
Where boy meets girl baby love is war

I'm not the enemy, I'm on your side
The battle's over baby, tell me why
Love is war. What the hell are we fighting for?

Tell me why love is war
I surrender my heart but you still want more
Write it in blood just to even the score
It's the way of the world, baby love is war

Tell me why love is war
I surrender my heart but you still want more
Write it in blood just to even the score
It's the way of the world baby love is war
When boy meets girl baby love is war

War, love is war, love is war
War, love is war, war, love is war

MAYBELLINE / (Forever Mine)
(Stranger in This Town Demo)

I don’t need to be a rich man
I don’t need to rule the world
All I need is you

Papa told me long ago
If I found someone then I would know
What I was supposed to do
He said hold on ‘till you find someone
Now I’m reaching out
It’s been a long time coming

We were meant to be together
Far beyond the end of time
Though the world may come between us
Maybelline you’ll always be forever mine

I don’t need to be a rich man
I don’t need to rule the world
All I need is you

Papa told me long ago
If I found someone then I would know
What I was supposed to do
He said hold on ‘till you find someone
Now I’m reaching out
It’s been a long time coming

We were meant to be together

Far beyond the end of time
Though the world may come between us
Maybelline, you’ll always be forever mine

If I have to live without you
In your arms I want to die
In my heart I’ll always find you
Maybelline, you’ll always be forever mine
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na

Remember that the love will never die
Never, ever
I’m going to believe you’ll always be forever

We were meant to be together
Far beyond the end of time
Though the world may come between us
Maybelline, you’ll always be forever mine

If I have to live without you
In your arms I want to die
In my heart I’ll always find you
Maybelline, we’ll always be together
You’ll always be forever mine

Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na

Maybelline you’ll always be forever mine

NOW AND FOREVER

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'll 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
Now dreams will be dreams and friends will be friends
Now and forever, now and forever.

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

PROMISES

I don’t need someone to put me to sleep at night
And I don’t need you girl to hold me tight
Because I’ve been hurt many times
I’m tired of all your lies

Oooooh, oh, promises

You invite strangers you meet
Looking for a highway to run down
Now the deals are gone
The memories hang on

Oooooh, oh, promises
Oooooh, oh, promises

Broken-hearted dreamers
Lying in the sun and all
You’re like a hero in the sun, yeah
Take me away

Oooooh, oh, promises
Oooooh, oh, promises

My manager told me “Boy, want to make this last ???”
Do what I tell you and everything will come up fair
I heard their lies
All of their alibis and your…

Oooooh, oh, promises
Oooooh, oh, promises

They’re nothing but lies
They’re nothing but lies
They’re lies
They’re nothing but lies

Oooooh, oh, promises
Oooooh, oh, promises

They’re made to be broken
They’re made to be broken
They’re lies
They’re lies

RIVER OF LOVE

Penny for you thoughts now baby, tell me what you see,
You know I want to play with you but this ain't hide and seek, with me, can't you see.
I know your momma don't approve of what I'm thinkin' 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 will remember the night forever, it's just you and I,
River of love and the 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 will remember the night forever, it's just you and I.
River of love and the full moon high
River of love and the 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
River of love and the full moon high
River of love and the full moon high

ROSIE
(JB, RS, DC, Diane Warren)

Rosie whatcha doin´ in this low class joint, dancing in the dark all day
You used to be the darling of the high school scene
Now you put your love on display

Sweaty hands hand you up a dollar bill
Hungry eyes never seem to get their fill
I used to watch you walking down the hall
Remember when I used to call your name

Rosie, Rosie
I wanna take you away
Rosie, Rosie
I´m gonna make you mine someday

Rosie I went with you for that rose tattoo, you promised no one else would see
And I would wait to drive you home from dancing school
Remember when you danced just for me

Our love was deeper than the night was long
But things just didn´t work out like our favorite song
Baby don´t you know we could have had it all
Rosie do you see me when you hear them call your name

Rosie, Rosie
I wanna take you away
Rosie, Rosie
I´m gonna make you mine someday

Promises are promised, some are meant to keep
Some are meant to breaking ´cause you´re in too deep
I wish I´d never seen this place before
because it kills me when I hear them call your name

Rosie, Rosie
I wanna take you away
Rosie, Rosie
I´m gonna make you mine someday

SOCIAL DISEASE
(SWW Demo, alternate lyrics)

You’ve been bad, you’ve been good
You were young and you took what you could
You said you’d never seen Hollywood, but you would
You’ve been lost, you’ve been found
You’ve been up and I know you go down

Running all around through the town, you go down
Senorita’s in the kitchen, she’s a fist full of dynamite
You make the men crazy but they’re never gonna be alright
You call 911 but you can’t stop the fun tonight

You can’t build a fire without a spark
Bringing a man to his knees
Never survive without a heart
Love is a social disease
Love is a social disease

Queen of hearts, you’re so cold
Play your hand, cut the deck, then you fold
Don’t refuse to get in line for the show
Feeling so cold
Tell the truth to a liar
And I felt like my soul was for hire
Play it all on the toss of the dice
And you would

You telephone your doctor just to see what pill to take
You know there’s no prescription gonna wipe this one away
There’s just no way out, nothing left to take

Can’t build a fire without a spark
Bringing a man to his knees
And you’ll never survive without a heart
Because love is a social disease
Love is a social disease
Love is a social disease

So full of high grade octane she could run the bullet train
I don’t want to crash, oh no
Gonna stay all day long until we both get along

No you can’t build a fire without a spark
Bringing a man to his knees
Can’t survive without a heart
Love is a social disease
Love is a social disease
Love is a social disease
Love is a social disease
Love is a social disease
Your love is a social disease

STAND UP

Kids are rockin' to the radio, you got your friends in the car rarin' to go
The DJ tells you it's almost time for the show
Where's Roxy in the mirror fixin' her hair, looking at the stockings that she wants to wear
Front row tickets everybody's gonna be there
And they're singing oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
The night it comes to set the scene,
And the band arrives in a limousine
Flash your cameras, still seems like a dream
Everybody's walking forward in the hall
Walkin' the seats at the Rock 'n Roll ball
Lipstick ladies driving you crazy

You know you can't sit down because you got to Stand Up, Stand Up
That's all you got to do, Stand Up, Stand Up the music'll pull you through
Stand Up, Stand Up, all ya gotta do is
Stand Up, Stand Up, the time is here and tonight we're here for you

All right. Yeah, it's getting late so you can't go far
The roadie tunes that last guitar
The band can't wait to hit the stage, anticipation would turn the page
Roxie's old manager, she had to ask
Whatcha gotta do for a backstage pass
Get you down to the dressing room
Honey, all you got to do is oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

All you got to do is Stand Up, Stand Up
That's all you got to do, just Stand Up, Stand Up,
Let the music pull you through, you gotta Stand Up, Stand Up
That's all you gotta do, you gotta Stand Up, Stand Up
Cause the time is here baby, now we're here for you

STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN (JB/RS)

I've been waiting
Standing in the dark for hours
Trying to find the faith in the power
To get back home to you
It's been a long time
A long time since I've seen your face
But on and on I could not replace
The fire that burns for you, yeah!

So here's to the good times, here's to the bad
Here's to the memories we all have
Here's to tomorrow,
Cause yesterday's passed us by

Tonight, we'll be starting all over again
And it feels like the first time
I know I'll never feel this way again
Starting all over again

Do you remember
Remember the odds we were given
We had nothing and we thought that was living
Lord, it's been such a long, long road
Long, long road

So here's to our old friends who helped us get by
Here's to the dreamers
May their dreams never die
If we believe, we can keep all the good times alive

Tonight, we'll be starting all over again
And it feels like the first time
I know I'll never feel this way again, whoa!
Tonight, we'll be starting all over again
And it feels like the first time
I know we never were to give up my friends
It's like starting all over again

Yeah...Let's go!

I've been waiting
Standing in the dark for hours
Trying to find faith in the powers
To start it all over again...

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

TAKE ME ALL / TAKE ME HOME
(SWW Rehearsal Demos)

Hey operator can you try long distance one more time
You must know that number now to get my baby on the line
Hey operator, I’ve been away so long now
Can’t you see you’re my last chance
I’ve got to get to her somehow

Kisses on your photograph, they tear at my heart
Music is playing and people are waiting
Take me home to rest this heart
Take me home to rest this heart

Yeah operator, I only want to hear her voice
I only want to say that I never meant to make her cry
Hey operator, I need you to understand
I don’t mean to waste your time
But love makes you a desperate man

Kisses on your photograph, they tear at my heart
The music is playing and the people are waiting
Take me home to rest this heart
Take me home to rest this heart
Take me home to rest this heart
Take me home to see my baby once again

TEMPTATION

   My dancing picture on the wall,
   I'm running away from home,
   seeing if I'm a man or just a bucket of flesh and bone.
   Someday I'll seek forgiveness for the sweet smell of a friend, she
   touched my hand and asked for a check, I put out my cigarette.

   Temptation, Temptation all night long,
   I'm walkin' straight into the ocean,
   tell the tide I'm on my way,
   I'm gonna hang my head down tonight, I'll never be sold.

   When the angels hung out at Eaton,
   you caught Adam chasing Eve,
   she said grab your boots, you coat, your hat,
   my boy it's time that you leave.
   She asked me if I'd like to play, cause she knew that I was broke,
   I cashed my chips in, I want to go, this smile is just mirrors in
   smoke.

   Temptation, Temptation all night long,
   I'm walkin' straight into the ocean,
   tell the tide I'm on my way,
   I'm gonna hang my head down tonight, I'll never be sold.

   Twist my wrist,
   tell me I should resist,
   but the flesh is weak, here comes the kiss.

SOLO

   Come on twist my wrist,
   I can't go on like this,
   all the flesh is weak,
   here it comes, here it comes...

   Temptation, Temptation all night long,
   I'm walkin' straight into the ocean,
   tell the tide I'm on my way,
   I'm gonna hang my head down tonight, I'll never be sold.

I'm gonna hang my head down tonight, I'll never be sold.

THE PROMISE

I can see the sun goin' down
I still see the cars roll by
I can see that seaside pool
Where we spent those summer nights
And I can hear the moonlit ocean
And I can feel your hand in mine
I can taste the warm free ocean
What a vision in my mind
And I, I lie in waiting
And I'm anticipating the Promise, the Promise

I remember what you told me
We both sounded so sincere
You said you'd always be my baby
And I said baby I'll always be there
Well I remember our first time girl
I still see the beach that night
I remember we were scared girl
But we both know that it felt so right
Time can never change it
And I'll never break it
The Promise, The Promise

Was made for nights like this
Seal it with your kiss
The Promise, with The Promise
Now the summer sun is gone
For the young ones who are left to carry on
The Promise, The Promise

THIS WOMAN IS DANGEROUS

She can steal the start and the moon, she can kill you with a wink of an eye,
She's not like those other girls who fall in love for the very first time.
She's so young, she's old enough for me,
She's so shy, she's all I want her to be.

This woman is dangerous,
She'll break your heart and keep you runnin' back for more.
This woman is dangerous,
But I'm gonna lover he like she's never been in love before.
This woman is dangerous,
There's another fool waitin' outside the door.

She knew a few of the men and a few of the boys,
She could tell you what they want by the price of their toys.
They play those games of love, she made them work just like a pawn,
??????????????????????????, playin' when the love is gone.

She'll take you, break you, just about to get a kiss,
I don't know how many nights I've wanted this.
But just this once when night comes, she'll cut you like a knife,
Well it don't matter what she is, I want her in my life.

This woman is dangerous,
This woman is dangerous,
This woman is dangerous,
This woman is dangerous.

TONIGHT

She can steal the stars and the moon, she can kill you with a wink of her eye
Not like the other girls who fall in love the very first time
She's so young, (so young) baby's old enough for me
She's so shy, (so shy) this is all that I want to say

Tonight, I’ll be your only one
Tonight, not the lonely one
Tonight, I’m going to be so in love
Baby, baby with you

She knew just who were the men and who were the boys
She knew just what were the price of their toys
Playing games with her made lovin’ lots of fun
Messing your head up, just like playing with a loaded gun

Tonight, I’ll be your only one
Tonight, not the lonely one
Tonight, I’m going to be so in love
Baby, baby with you

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, I’m gonna be your only one
Tonight, not the lonely one
Tonight, I’ll be your only one
Tonight, not the lonely one
Tonight, when I love you
Tonight, tonight when I squeeze you
Tonight, gonna love you like you’ve never been loved before
When? Tonight
Gonna love you like you’ve never been loved
Tonight, gonna squeeze you like you’ve never been hugged
Tonight, gonna love you like you’ve never been loved
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight,
tonight, tonight

She's so young but she's old enough for me
She's so shy, (so shy) this is all that I want to say

Tonight I’ll be your only one
Tonight, baby I’ll be your only one
Tonight, gonna love you like you’ve never been loved before, never before
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, you’ll be all mine tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight

WALK DON'T RUN

Another night in this old town
Sometimes growin' up can only bring you down
Sometimes I sit, I wonder
Sometimes I scream as loud as thunder
Little brother don't you know I'm a man
They might think I'm just a boy
But they don't understand
These city streets, they tell me stories about busted dreams and faded glory
No one seems to understand,
They tell me walk, don't run, the time will find you
Walk, don't run and your heart will guide you to
Walk, don't run, they say growing up it just ain't so much fun
I feel like a loaded gun
They say don't run

My mom and dad work every day
Just to keep shoes on our feet they slaved their lives away
Grandpa had to do the same, it took him to an early grave
Call me a rebel, say the boy don't think
I'm old enough to fight for my country
I ain't old enough for a drink
And I'm not a pawn, I can't play their game
But Poppa I'm proud just to wear your name
Then he held out his hand, he said I understand

But remember walk, don't run, the time will find you
Walk, don't run and your heart will guide you to
Walk, don't run, just walk, don't run

You Can't Lose At Love
Crush Demo / It's My Life Single

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
