Bon Jovi

Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who, are you to tell me if it’s black or white?
Mama, can you hear me? Try to understand.
is Innocence the difference between a boy and a man.
My daddy lived a lie, its just the price that he paid.
Sacrificed his life, slaving away.

Ohhh, if there’s one thing I hang onto,
that gets me through the night.
I, aint gonna do what I don’t want to,
Im gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day
Have A Nice Day

Take a look around you, nothings what it seems
We’re living in a broken home of hopes and dreams
Let me be the first to shake ya helping hand
Everybody, brave enough to take a stand
I knocked on every door, on every dead end street
Looking for forgiveness
What’s left to believe?

Ohhh, if there’s one thing I hang onto
that gets me through the night
I aint gonna do what I don’t want to
Im gonna live my life
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice
Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face
I say, Have A Nice Day
Have A Nice Day

Guitar Solo

Ohhh, if there’s one thing I hang onto
that gets me through the night
I aint gonna do what I don’t want to
Im gonna live my life
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice
Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face
I say, Have A Nice Day
Have A Nice Day
Have A Nice Day
Have A Nice Day
Have A Nice Day

Now when This world keeps trying, to drag me down
Ive gotta raise my hands to stand my ground
Well I say, Have A Nice Day
Have A Nice Day
Have A Nice Day

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 one's son
Call me young gun

You ask about my consience
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
'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm the devil's 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 out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood and I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
I'm a young gun

This romeo is bleeding, but you can't see his blood
Its nothing but some feelings, that this old dog kicked up
Its 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 its meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, thats 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
I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I 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
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 wish I was him, that those words were mine
To say to you till the end of time

And 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 aint no luck, in this 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

Yeah 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
I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I love you - Always
Always ...

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
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 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'd 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 on 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 on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

Hey, great song!I think this new Bon Jovi's song is very good. I love Bon Jovi's old songs, and i didn't expect this new good theme!Congratulations to you!^^

Bon Jovi - 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

Chorus:
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 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 all alone all you do is think

Chorus

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 an I've rocked them all

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

You want commitment, well take a look into these eyes
They burn with fire, yeah, 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
And I would give anything
My blood, my love, my life
If you were in these arms tonight

I'd hold ya, I'd need ya
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love ya, I'd please ya
I'd tell you that I'd never leave ya
And love you til the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight

We stared at the sun
And we made a promise
A promise this world would never blind us
And these were our words
Our words were our songs
Our songs are our prayers
These prayers keep me strong
And I still believe, if you were in these arms

I'd hold ya, I'd need ya
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything all right
If you were in these arms
I'd love ya, I'd please ya
I'd tell you that I'd never leave ya
And love you till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight

Your clothes are still scattered all over our room
This whole place still smells like your cheap perfume
Everything here reminds me of you
Theres nothing I wouldn't do

And these were our words, they keep me strong
Baby...

I'd hold ya, I'd need ya
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything all right
If you were in these arms
I'd love ya, I'd please ya
I'd tell you that I'd never leave ya
And love you till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight

If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms ... baby....

Like the roses need the rain, like the seasons need the change
Like the poet needs the pain
I need you ... in these arms tonight.

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 cos 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 through the rain
Lord you gotta keep the faith
Faith: don't you let your love turn to hate
Right now we gotta keep the faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Lord we gotta keep the faith

Tell me baby, when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside
Do you tell me all's forgiven
And just hide behind your pride

Everybody needs somebody to love (mother, father)
Everybody needs somebody to love (please don't leave me)
Everybody's bleeding cos the times are rough
Well it's hard to be strong, when there's no-one to dream on

Faith: you know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord you gotta keep the faith
Now you know is never too late
Oh you gotta keep the faith
Faith: don't you 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

I've been walking in the footsteps
Of societys lies
I don't like what I see no more
Sometimes I wish I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever to stand out in the rain
So no-one sees me crying, trying to wash away the pain

Mother Father
There's things I've done I can't erase
Everynight we fall from grace
It's hard with the world in your face
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on

Faith: you know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't you let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to keep the faith
Faith: now you know is not too late
Try to hold on, trying to hold on
Keep the faith...

As I sit in this smokey room, the night about to end
I pass my time with strangers, but this bottles 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 on my backseat baby
Remember how 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
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on we've got to try, holdin' on to never say goodbye

Remember days of skipping school
Racing cars and being cool
With a six pack and a 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 favourite 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
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on, we've got to try, holdin' on to never say goodbye

And 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
Say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on, we've got to try, holdin' on to never say goodbye
Yeah, yeah ...
[youtube][/youtube]

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's 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,
Lay your hands on me, 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
Satisfaction's 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,
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,

Lay your hands on me

Solo

Don't you know I only aim to please
If you want me to lay my hands on you

Lay your hands on me.

One of my Bon Jovi's favourites songs!

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
I got all the symptoms count 'em 1, 2, 3


First I need
That's what you get for falling in love
Then you bleed
You get a little but it's never enough
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 madicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad madicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease
Bad, bad medicine
Bad, bad medicine

I don't need no needle
To be diving me a thrill
And I don't need no anesthesia
Or a nurse to bring a pill
I got a dirty down addition
It doesn't leave a track
I got a jone for your affection
Like a money 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
On your knees
That's what you get for falling in love
Now I'm addicted and your kiss is the drug

Your love is like bad madicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad madicine
So let's play doctor, baby
Cure my disease
Bad, bad medicine
Bad, bad medicine

I need a respirator cause I'm running out of breath
You're an all night generator wrapped is stockings and a dress
When you find your medicine you take what you can get
Cause if there's something better baby well thay haven't found it yet

Your love is like bad madicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad madicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease
Your love is like bad madicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad madicine
Your love's the potion that can cure my disease
Bad, bad medicine
Bad, bad medicine
