Crossroad
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
We're half
way there
Livin' on
a prayer
Take my
hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' 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 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
We're half
way there
Livin' on
a prayer
Take my
hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on
a prayer
We've got
to hold on ready or not
You live
for the fight when it's all that you've got
We're half
way there
Livin' on
a prayer
Take my
hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on
a prayer
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 through 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 through 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 through 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
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 ain't 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
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
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' all right
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
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 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
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
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
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 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
I'm a
cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted
dead or alive
Wanted
dead or alive
I'm a
cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted
dead or alive
Wanted
dead or alive
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
And 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 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 and whisper,
baby blind
love is true
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
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
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 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
I wake up
in the morning
And I
raise my weary head
I've 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 a colt
in your stable
I'm what
Cain was to Abel
Mister
catch me if you can
I'm going
out 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
one's 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've 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
Solo
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 hope
you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let this
boy die like a man
Staring
down a 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
You want
commitment
Take a
look into these eyes
They burn
with a fire, just for you now
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
I would
give anything
My blood
my love my life
If you
were in these arms tonight
I'd hold
you
I'd 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 are
my words
Our words
were our songs
Our songs
are our prayers
These
prayers keep me strong
It's what
I believe
If you
were in these arms tonight
I'd hold
you
I'd 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
And
there's nothing that I
Wouldn't
do to be in your arms
And these
were our words
They keep
me strong
I'd hold
you
I'd 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
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 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
And now
this boy's addicted cause your kiss is the drug
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
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 medicine
Bad
medicine is what I need
Shake it
up, just like bad medicine
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 they haven't found it yet
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
Your love
is like bad medicine
Bad
medicine is what I need
Shake it
up, just like bad medicine
Your
love's the potion that
Can cure
my disease
I guess
this time you're really leaving
I heard
your suitcase say good-bye
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
wasn'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
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 pick you
up when you've had enough
You been burned
baby lessons learned
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
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
When we're
together
In and out
of love
It's too
much forever
In and out
of love
Hear what
I'm saying
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 you
In and out
of love...
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.
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.
Ooh, she's
a little runaway.
Daddy's
girl learned fast
all those
things he couldn't say.
Ooh, she's
a little runaway.
No one
heard a single word she said.
They
should have seen it in your eyes
what was
going around your heard.
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.
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
NEVER
SAY GOODBYE
As I sit
in this smoky 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
when we used to talk
About
busting out - we'd break their hearts
Together -
forever
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
Holdin' on
- we got to try
Holdin' 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
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
Holdin' on
- we got to try
Holdin' on
to never say good-bye
I guess
you'd say we used to talk
About
busting out
We'd break
their hearts
Together -
forever
