01 - Livin On A Prayer
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's went 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 makes a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love, we'll give it a shot
We're half way there
Livin' On A Prayer
Take my hand, and we'll make it, I swear
Livin' On A Prayer
Tommy 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 makes a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love we'll give it a shot
We're half way there
Livin' On A Prayer
Take my hand- we'll make it - I swear
Livin' On A Prayer
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
We're half way there
Livin' On A Prayer
Take my hand- we'll make it - I swear
Livin' On A Prayer
Livin' On A Prayer
02 - Keep The Faith
Mother mother tell your children
That their time has just begun
I have suffered for my anger
There are wars that can't be won
Father father please believe me
I am laying down my guns
I am broken like an arrow
Forgive me
Forgive your wayward son
Everybody needs somebody to love
(mother, mother)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(please believe me)
Everybody's bitching
'cause they can't get enough
And it's hard to hold on
When there's no one to lean on
Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faith
Tell me baby when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside
Do you tell me al's forgiven
And just hide behind your pride
Everybody needs somebody to love
(mother, father)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(please don't leave me)
Everybody's bleeding
'cause the times are tough
Well it's hard to be strong
When there's no one to dream on
Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Now you know is not too late
Oh you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faith
Walking in the footsteps
Of society's lies
I don't like what I see no more
Sometimes I wish that I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever
To stand out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin'
Trying to wash away the pain
Mother father
There's things I've done I can't erase
Every night we fall from grace
It's hard with the world in yours face
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on
Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to keep the faith
Faith: now it's not too late
Try to hold on, trying to hold on
Keep the faith
03 - Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
Hey, Man, I'm Alive
I'm taking each day and night at a time
I'm feelin' like a Monday but
Someday I'll be Saturday night
Hey, My name is Jim
Where did I go wrong?
My life's a bargain basement
All the good shit's gone
Just can't hold a job
Where do I belong?
Been sleepin' in my car
My dreams moved on
My name is Billy G.
My love is bought and sold
I'm only 16
I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went
Took my innocence away
The street life ain't much better
But at least I'm getting paid
Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worst than yesterday
Thursdays, Friday, ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey, Man, I'm Alive
I'm taking each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, I gotta live my life
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces
And what's left of my pride
I'm feeling like a Monday but
Someday I'll be Saturday night
Someday I'll be Saturday night
I'll be back on my feet
I'll be doing alright
It may not be tomorrow
Baby, that's ok
I ain't going down
I'm gonna find a way
Hey, Man, I'm Alive
I'm taking each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, I gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothing but this roll of the dice
I'm feeling like a Monday but
Someday I'll be Saturday night
04 - Always
This romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up
Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me
And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always
Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man
When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time
Yeah, I will love you baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you
Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines
And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always
05 - Wanted Dead Or Alive
It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd 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
And people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink
And times when you're all 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 and I ride!
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
And I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still I'm standing 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
And I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive
And I ride, (and I ride) dead or alive
I still drive, (I still drive) dead or alive
Dead or alive, Dead or alive
Dead or alive, Dead or alive
06 - Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
If you're ready, I'm willing and able
Help me lay my cards out on the table
You're mine and I'm yours for the taking
Right now the rules we made are meant for breaking
What you get ain't always what you see
But satisfaction is guaranteed
They say what you give is always what you need
So if you want me to lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
I'm a fighter, I'm a poet, I'm a preacher
I've been to school and baby, I've been the teacher
If you show me how to get up off the ground
I can show you how to fly and never ever come back down
Everything you want is what I need
Your satisfaction is guaranteed
But the ride don't never ever come for free
If you want me to lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Don't you know I only aim to please
If you want me to lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
07 - You Give Love A Bad Name
Shot to the heart and you're to blame
Darlin' you give love a bad name
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free
You're a loaded gun
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
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
You're a loaded gun
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
You give love a bad name
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
You give love a bad name
08 - 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 blonde 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
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite 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've given each night
Just to see through this payphone
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
I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
The 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
Tonite 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 want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
09 - Blaze Of Glory
I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I 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 colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister catch me if you can
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no ones 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 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
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm the devil son
Call me young gun
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 I'll hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let the boy die like a man
Staring down the bullet
Let me make my final stand
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no ones son
Call me young gun
10 - In These Arms
You want commitment
Take a look into these eyes
They burn with a fire, just for you now
Until 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
I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
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 tonights
We stared at the sun
And we made a promise
A promise this world would never blind us
These are my words
Our words were our songs
Our songs are our prayers
These prayers keep me strong
It's what I believe
If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms tonight
I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
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 tonights
Your clothes are still scatteder
All over our room
This old place still smells like
Your cheap perfume
Everything here reminds me of you
And there's nothing that I
Wouldn't do to be in your arms
And these were our words
They keep me strong
I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
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
11 - Bad Medecine
Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease
I ain't got a fever
Got a permanent disease
It'll take more than a doctor
To prescribe a remedy
I got lots of money
But it isn't what I need
Gonna take more than a shot
To get this poison out of me
And I got all the symptoms count 'em 1,2,3
First you need
That's what you get for falling in love
Then you bleed
You get a little but it's never enough
And you're on your knees
That's what you get for falling in love
And now this boy's addicted
'cause your kiss is the drug
Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease
Bad, bad medicine
I don't need no needle
To be giving me a thrill
And I don't need no anaesthesia
Or a nurse to bring a pill
I got a dirty down addiction
It doesn't leave a track
I got a jones for your affection
Like a monkey on my back
There ain't no paramedic
Gonna save this heart attack
When you need
That's what you get for falling in love
Then you bleed
You get a little but it's never enough
And you're on your knees
That's what you get for falling in love
And now this boy's addicted
'cause your kiss is the drug
Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
So let's play doctor, Baby
Cure my disease
Bad, bad medicine
Is what I want
Bad, bad medicine
Is what I need
I need a respirator 'cause
I'm running out of breath
You're an all night generator
Wrapped in stockings and a dress
When you find your medicine
You take what you can get
Cause if there's something better, Baby
Well they haven't found it yet
Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease
Your love, bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
Your love's the potion that can cure my disease
Bad, bad medicine
Is what I want
Bad, bad medicine
One more time
Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease
12 - I'll Be There For You
I guess this time you really leave me
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love its suicide
You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
I'll pray to God to give me one more chance, girl
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I΄ll steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your Valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I΄ll steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
And I wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'll steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'll steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you
13 - In & Out Of Love
Young and wired
Set to explode in the heat
You won't tire
Cause baby was born with the beat
Take you higher than you've ever known
Then drive you down to your knees
I pick you up when you've had enough
You been burned baby lessons learned
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin
In and out of love
The way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
She's gonna get ya.
Running wild
When me and my boys hit the streets
Right on time
She's here to make my night complete
Then I'm long gone
I got another show
There's one more town, one mile to go
One endless night of fantasy
Was all she left of her with me
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin
In and out of love
The way that we're playin
In and out of love
When we're together
In and out of love
It's too much forever
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
We're gonna get you.
In and out of love...
14 - Runaway
On the streets where you live
girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint
A touch of secret in their eyes
All your life, all your life, all you've asked
when's your daddy gonna talk to you
She was living in an other world
Tryin' to get her message through
No-one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going round your head
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things she couldn't say
Ooh she's a little runaway
A different line every night,
guaranteed to blow your mind
I see you out on the streets
Combing for a wild time
So you sit home alone
'cause there's nothing left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows
Left there to look at you
You know she likes the lights at night
on the neon Broadway signs
She don't really mind
It's only love she hopes to find
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things she couldn't say
Ooh she's a little runaway
No-one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going round your heart
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she was the night away
15 - Never Say Goodbye
As I sit in this smoky room
The night about to end
I pass my time as a stranger
But this bottle's my only friend
Remember when we used to park
On Butler Street out in the dark
Remember when we lost the keys
And you lost more than that in my backseat, Baby
Remember when we used to talk
About busting out, we'd break their hearts
Together, forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on, we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye
Remember days of skipping school
Racing cars and being cool
With a six pack and the radio
We didn't need no place to go
Remember at the prom that night
You and me we had a fight
But the band they played our favorite song
And I held you in my arms so strong
We danced so close
We danced so slow
And I swore I'd never let you go
Together, forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on, we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye
I guess you'd say we used to talk
About busting out
We'd break their hearts
Together, forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on, we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye
15 - Prayer 94'
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's went 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 makes a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love, we'll give it a shot
We're half way there
Livin' On A Prayer
Take my hand, and we'll make it, I swear
Livin' On A Prayer
Tommy 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 makes a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love we'll give it a shot
We're half way there
Livin' On A Prayer
Take my hand- we'll make it - I swear
Livin' On A Prayer
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
We're half way there
Livin' On A Prayer
Take my hand- we'll make it - I swear
Livin' On A Prayer
Livin' On A Prayer
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's went on strike
He's down on his luck... hey Tommy, it's tough...
