Livin' on a Prayer
Tommy used to work on the docks Unions been on strike He's down on his luck... it's tough, so tough Gina works the diner all day Working for her man, she brings home her pay For love - for love She says we've got to hold on to what we've got Cause it doesn't make a difference If we make it or not We've got each other and that's a lot For love - well give it a shot Whooah, we're half way there Livin on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear Livin on a prayer Tommy's got his six string in hock Now he's holding in what he used To make it talk - so tough, it's tough Gina dreams of running away When she cries in the night Tommy whispers baby it's okay, someday We've got to hold on to what we've got Cause it doesn't make a difference If we make it or not We've got each other and that's a lot For love - well give it a shot Whooah, we're half way there Livin on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear Livin on a prayer We've got to hold on ready or not You live for the fight when it's all that you've got Whooah, we're half way there Livin on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear Livin on a prayer You Give Love a Bad Name
Shot through the heart And you're to blame Darling, you give love a bad name An angel's smile is what you sell You promised me heaven And put me through hell Chains of love got a hold on me When passion's a prison You can't break free Oh, you're a loaded gun, yeah Oh, there's nowhere to run No one can save me The damage is done Shot through the heart And you're to blame You give love a bad name (Bad name) I play my part and you play your game You give love a bad name (Bad name) You give love a bad name Paint your smile on your lips Blood red nails on your fingertips A school boy's dream, you act so shy Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye Oh, you're a loaded gun Oh, there's nowhere to run No one can save me The damage is done Shot through the heart And you're to blame You give love a bad name I play my part and you play your game You give love a bad name (Bad name) You give love, oh Ohh, shot through the heart And you're to blame You give love a bad name I play my part and you play your game You give love a bad name (Bad name) Shot through the heart And you're to blame You give love a bad name (Bad name) I play my part and you play your game You give love a bad name (Bad name) (Whoa) You give love (Whoa) You give love (A bad name) Wanted Dead or Alive
It's all the same Only the names will change Everyday It seems we're wastin' away Another place Where the faces are so cold I drive all night Just to get back home I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted Dead or alive Wanted Dead or alive Sometimes I sleep Sometimes it's not for days The people I meet Always go their separate ways Sometimes you tell the day By the bottle that you drink And times when you're alone All you do is think I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted (Wanted) Dead or alive Wanted (Wanted) Dead or alive Oh I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted (Wanted) Dead or alive When I walk these streets A loaded six string on my back I play for keeps 'Cause I might not make it back I've been everywhere (Ohh, yea) Still I'm standin' tall I've seen a million faces And I've rocked them all 'Cause I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted (Wanted) Dead or alive I'm a cowboy I got the night on my side And I'm wanted (Wanted) Dead or alive And I'm right (And I'm right) Dead or alive I still drive (I still drive) Dead or alive |
It's My Life
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted No silent prayer for the faith-departed I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud It's my life, it's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive It's my life My heart is like the open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive It's my life This is for the ones who stood their ground It's for Tommy and Gina who never backed down Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake Luck, it ain't enough, you've got to make your own breaks It's my life, it's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive It's my life My heart is like the open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive It's my life Better stand tall when they're calling you out Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down It's my life, it's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive It's my life My heart is like the open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive It's my life It's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive It's my life My heart is like the open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive It's my life She Don't Know Me
What more can I do, there's nothing I haven't tried Still it's so hard for her to notice I've tried hard to be straight There's nothing left I can say If only she would look my way [Chorus:] She don't know me, she don't know She don't see me, she don't care She can't hear me, can't hear Can not help me, she don't want She don't want me like I want her Like I wan't her got to tell her Got to tell her that I love her That I love her She doesn't even know my name I dream of when she'll be mine I dream of crossing that line And holding her so tender Dreaming it could come true So many things I would do If only you'd give me a chance [Repeat chorus] Bed of Roses
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 is still lodged in my head And some blond gave me nightmares, think that 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 it's own beat in my head While we're talking About all of the things that I long to believe About love, the truth, what you mean to me and the truth is Baby you're all that I need I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is And lay you down on a bed of roses Well I'm so far away the step that I take's on my way home A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night 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, whisper baby blind love is true I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is And lay you down on a bed of roses Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry The barkeeper's wig's crooked And she's giving me the eye Well I might have said yeah But I laughed so hard I think I died Ooh yeah Now as 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 I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is And lay you down I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is And lay you down on a bed of roses |
