1. _ 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 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

2. _ In And 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'll pick you up when you've had enough
You been burned baby lessons learned
Chorus:
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
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
One more town, one mile to go
One endless night of fantasy
Is all she left of her with me

3. _ Livin' On A Prayer
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
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 - for love
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
'cause 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
Chorus:
Whooah, we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - i swear
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, 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 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
Chorus
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got

4. _ Bad Medicine
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
Solo
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

5. _ I'll Be There For You
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love in suicide
You say you're 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
Now i'm praying to god you'll 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
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we're had some good times
How 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 drink, 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
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
Solo
And i wan'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
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

6. _ 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

7. _ Runaway
On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes
All your life all you've asked when's your daddy gonna talk to you
You were living in another world tryin' to get your message through.
No one heard a single word you said.
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your heart.
Chorus:
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
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 nights on the neon broadway signs
She don't really mind, it's only love she hoped to find
Repeat chorus
No one heard a single word she 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
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she works the night away
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

9. _ 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

10. _ 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 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

11. _ 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
Chorus:
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
Chorus

12. _ 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'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

13. _ 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

14. _ Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
Hey, man i'm alive i'm takin' 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
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 aint much better, but at least i get paid
And 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 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 nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a monday, but someday i'll be saturday night
Now i can't say my name, and tell you where i am
I want to blow myself away, don't know if i can
I wish that i could be in some other time and place
With someone elses soul, someone elses face
Oh, 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 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
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride
I'm feelin' 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 doin' alright
It may not be tomorrow baby, that's ok
I ain't goin' down, gonna find a way, hey hey hey
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 nothin' but this roll of the dice
I'm feelin' like a monday, but someday i'll be saturday night
I'm feelin' like a monday, but someday i'll be saturday night
Saturday night __________,all right, all right
Saturday night
