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.
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."
We're half-way there, living on a prayer.
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear.
Living 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 its okay, someday"
"We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when its all that you've got.
We're half-way there, living on a prayer.
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear, living on a prayer"
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 its hard to hold on when there's no one to lean 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.
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 all'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, its hard to be strong when there's no one to lean on.
(Faith) You know you're gonna live through the rain,
Lord you got to keep the faith.
(Faith) Dont you know it's never to late?
Right now we got to keep the faith.
(Faith) Don't you let your love turn to hate
Lord you 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 crying - trying to wash away this pain.
Mother, father, there's things I've done I can't erase.
Every night we fall from grace.
Its 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.
Tryin on hold on, tryin to hold on.
Hey, my name is Jim, where did I go wrong?
My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone.
I just can't hold a job, where do I belong?
I'm sleeping in my car, my dreams move on.
My name is Billy Jean, my love was bought and sold.
I'm only sixteen, 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 get paid.
Tuesday just might go my way.
It can't get worse than yesterday.
Thursdays, Fridays 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.
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.
Now I can't say my name, or tell you where I am.
I want to roll myself away, don't know if I can.
I wish that I could be in some other time and place.
With someone else's soul, someone else's face.
Tuesday just might go my way.
It can't get worse than yesterday.
Thursdays, Fridays 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.
(Saturday night - Here we go)
Some day I'll be Saturday night,
I'll be back on my feet, I'll be doing all right.
It may not be tomorrow, baby that's OK,
I ain't going down, I'm gonna find a way.
Hey hey 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 (x2)
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, that's just me,
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'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 good-bye.
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.
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'll love you -- 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
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'll love you -- always.
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 tonight, 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, each step that I take's on my way home.
A king's ransom in dimes, I'd given each night to see through this
pay-phone.
Still I run out of time, or its hard to get through,
Until the bird on the wire flies me back to you,
I'll just close my eyes and whisper, “Baby, blind love is true".
The hotel-bar hangover-whiskey's gone dry
The bar-keeper'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.
Now, when 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 its you, that I'd die to defend.
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promised 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.
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 (x2)
You 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 good-bye.
You're a loaded gun, yeah.
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 (x2)
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 (x2)
Brought into this world, they say you're born in sin
Well at least they gave me something - I didn't have to steal nor have
to win.
Well they tell me that I'm wanted - yeah, I'm a wanted man
I'm cold 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 out 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 its like, to sing songs in the
rain
Well, I've seen love come, 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'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've got to ask a favor and I'll hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest - let a 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 the Devil's son - call me Young Gun
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
Iif you were in these arms, tonight.
I'd hold you, I need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything all right,
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.
We stared at the sun and we made a promise.
A promise, this world would never blind us.
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 you, I need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything all right,
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.
Your clothes are still scattered all over our room
This old place still smells like your cheap perfume.
Everything here reminds me of you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
And these were our words, they keep me strong, baby,
If you were in these arms, tonight, if you were in these arms, baby,
Like the roses need the rain, like the seasons need to change,
Like the poet needs the pain, I need you in these arms of mine.
No one heard a single word you said.
They should have seen it in your eyes, what was going around 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
A different line every night, guaranteed to blow your mind.
I'll see you out on the streets, call me 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, its only love she hoped to find.
No one heard a single word she said.
They should have seen it in your eyes, what was going around your heart.
Never say good-bye, never say good-bye
You and me and my old friends, hoping it would never end
Never say good-bye, never say good-bye
Holding on, we've got to try - holding on, to never say good-bye
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
I guess you'd say we used to talk about busting out, we'd break their hearts, together, forever
