Livin' On A Prayer lyrics

Songwriters: Bongiovi, Jon; Sambora, Richard; Child, Desmond;

Tommy used to work on the docks


Union's 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, mmm, for love

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 got each other and that's a lot
For love we'll give it a shot!

Oh, we're half way there


Oh oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Oh oh, 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, mmm, it's tough

Gina dreams of running away


When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
"Baby it's okay, someday"

We gotta hold on to what we've got


It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We got each other and that's a lot
For love we'll give it a shot!

Oh, we're half way there


Oh oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Oh oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer!

We gotta hold on ready or not


You live for the fight when it's all that you've got

Whoa, we're half way there


Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer

Whoa, we're half way there


Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer

Whoa, we're half way there


Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad name

Shot through the heart, and your to blame, darling


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 ... yeah


There's nowhere to run
No-one can save me, the damage is done

Shot through the heart, and your 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

You paint your smile on your lips


Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boys 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 your 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.....

Shot through the heart and your to blame


You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name

Shot through the heart and your 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....


You give love a bad name
You give love....
You give love a bad name
You give love....
You give love a bad name
"Never Say Goodbye"

As I sit in this smokey room


The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
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

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
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
Bed Of Roses lyrics
Songwriters: Bongiovi, Jon;

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
