Song lyrics

edit
  • An angel's smile is what you sell
    You promised me heaven, then put me through hell.
    • "You Give Love a Bad Name"
  • She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
    It doesn't make 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
    • "Living on a Prayer"
  • Gina dreams of running away, when she cries in the night
    Tommy whispers: Baby it's okay, someday.
    • "Living on a Prayer"
  • We've got to hold on ready or not
    You live for the fight when that's all that you've got.
    • "Living on a Prayer"
  • I saw a man down on lonely street
    A broken man who looked like me
    And no one knows the pain he's been living
    He lost his love and still hasn't forgiven himself.
    • "Without Love"
  • We danced so close; we danced so slow
    And I swore I'd never let you go.
    • "Never Say Goodbye"
  • It's all the same only the names have changed.
    • "Wanted Dead Or Alive"
  • What you get ain't always what you see
    But satisfaction is guaranteed
    • "Lay Your Hands on Me"
  • Only God would know the reasons
    But I bet he must have had a plan
    'Cause you were born to be my baby.
    • "Born To Be My Baby"
  • 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 Be There For You"
  • I can promise you tomorrow
    But I can't buy back yesterday.
    • "I'll Be There For You"
  • I couldn't be the one to make your dreams come true
    That's why I had to run though I needed you.
    • "Wild Is The Wind"
  • We're two kids hitching down the road of life.
    • "Born To Be My Baby"
  • I can still remember when I was just a kid
    When friends were friends forever and what you said is what you did.
    • "Blood On Blood"
  • I need a respirator 'cause I'm running out of breath
    You're an all night generator wrapped in stockings and a dress.
    • "Bad Medicine"
  • 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 Medicine"
  • Sometimes I wish I was blind
    Sometimes I wait forever
    To stand out in the rain
    So no one sees me cryin'
    Trying to wash away this pain.
    • "Keep The Faith"
  • Baby, I want you like the roses want the rain
    You know I need you like a poet needs the pain.
    • "In These Arms"
  • 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.
    • "Bed Of Roses"
  • If I could choose the way I’ll die
    Make it by the gun or knife
    'Cause the other way there's too much pain
    Night after night after night after night
    • "Dry County"
  • I never wanted the stars
    I never shot for the moon
    I like them right where they are
    All I wanted was you
    • "I Want You"
  • It feels so good it ought to be illegal.
    • "Blame It On The Love Of Rock'N'Roll"
  • I'll be there till the stars don't shine
    Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
    I know when I die you'll be on my mind
    • "Always"
  • 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, that his words were mine
    • "Always"
  • Hey, man, I'm alive,
    I'm takin' each day and night at a time.
    Yeah, I'm down, but I know I'll get by.
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, gotta live my life
    like I ain't got nothing but this roll of the dice.
    I'm feelin' like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night.
    • "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night"
  • You see I've always been a fighter, but without you - I'd give up.
    • "Always"
  • My foster Daddy went and took my innocence away
    The street life ain't much better, but at least I'm getting paid.
    • "Someday I'll Be Saturday Night"
  • I should have seen it coming when the roses died
    I should have seen the end of summer in your eyes.
    • "This Ain't a Love Song"
  • I didn't have much money so I stole you a rose.
    • "Bitter Wine"
  • Love left me stranded at the station and the last train's gone by
    What was once holy water tastes like bitter wine.
    • "Bitter Wine"
  • It's a bitch, but life's a roller coaster ride
    The ups and downs will make you scream sometimes.
    • "Lie To Me"
  • His ring is on your finger, but my heart is in your hands.
    • "Damned"
  • There's a man out on the corner, singing old song about change.
    Everybody's got their cross to bare these days.
    • "These Days"
  • Noone wants to be themselves these days.
    Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days.
    • "These Days"
  • These days, the stars ain't out of reach
    But these days, there ain't a ladder on the streets.
    Oh, no, no, these days are fast, nothing lasts, there ain't no time to waste,
    There ain't nobody left to take the blame.
    • "These Days"
  • Jimmy's shoes busted both his legs tryin' to learn to fly.
    From the second story window he just jumped and closed his eyes.
    His mamma said he was crazy; he said "Mamma, I've got to try.
    Don't you know that all my heroes died?"
    And I guess I'd rather die than fade away.
    • "These Days"
  • If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin
    In a world that gives you nothing, i need something to believe in.
    • "Something To Believe In"
  • Give me something I can use
    To get me through the night
    To make me feel alright
    Something like you.
    • "Something For The Pain"
  • Now some tarot card-shark
    Said "I'll draw you a heart
    And we'll find you somebody else new"
    Well I made my last trip
    To those carnival lips
    When I bet all that I had on you.
    • "(It's Hard) Letting You Go"
  • I know how busy you must be
    But hey God do you ever think about me?
    • Hey God
  • Better stand tall when they're calling you out
    Don't bend don't break, baby don't back down
    • "It's my life"
  • Thank you for loving me
    For being my eyes
    When I couldn´t see

    • "Thank You For Loving Me"
  • I like the bed I'm sleeping in
    Just like me it's broken in
    It's not old - just older.
    • "Just Older"
  • A million prayers to God above, a million tears making ocean.
    One for love, one for truth, one for me, one for you.
    Where we once were divided, now we stand united. We stand as one, undivided.
    • "Undivided"
  • I've had enough of crying,
    Bleeding, sweating, dying.
    Hear me when I say "Gonna live my life, everyday."

    I ain't here to play, gonna live my life everyday.
    • "Everyday"
  • Every time I look at you,
    Baby, I see something new
    It takes me higher than before
    It makes me want you more.
    I don't want to sleep tonight,
    Dreaming's just a waste of time,
    When I look at what my life's been coming to.
    I'm all about loving you.
    • "All About Lovin' You"
  • Bounce, bounce, nothing's gonna keep me down,
    Bounce, bounce, stand up and shout it out.
    Bounce, bounce, I play hard, I play to win,
    Count me out, count me in, I'll be bouncing back again.
    • "Bounce"
  • Life is just what happened while we were busy making plans.

    You're everything I am.
    • "All About Lovin' You"

    come on and get up off your knees.
    When life is a bitter pill to swallow,

    • "Because We Can"

    you'd better have the teeth.
    If you're gonna take that step
    get up off from your knees
    'Cause tonight, you're alive

    'Till dreams are just fade dark and grey
    And all of your plans that slip out through your hands
    Are the dreams that you take to your grave
