Paroles Album One wild night 1985-2001 2001

It's my life    This ain't a song for the broken-hearted No silent prayer for faith departed And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd You're gonna hear my voice When I shout it out loud Chorus It's my life It's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive It's my life This is for the ones who stood their ground For Tommy and Gina who never backed down Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake Luck ain't even lucky Got to make your own breaks Repeat chorus Better stand tall when they're calling you out Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down Repeat chorus

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 hom 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

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 With 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

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 the times are tough And it's hard to hold on When there's no one to lean on Chorus: Faith: you know you're gonna live through the rain You've got to keep the faith Faith: don't you let your love turn to hate You got to keep the faith 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 bitching 'cause the times are tough Well it's hard to be strong When there's no one to dream on Chorus I've been 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' When I 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 your face Trying to hold on, trying to hold on Faith: you know you're gonna live through the rain 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 it's not too late Try to hold on, trying to hold on Keep the faith

Rockin' in the free world          There're colors in the night Red, white and blue People shufflin' their feet People sleepin' in their shoes But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead I don't feel like Satan, but I am to them So I try to forget it, any way I can, to Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world. I see a woman in the night With a baby in her hand Under an old street light Near a garbage can Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit She hates her life, and what she's done to it There's one more kid that will never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.
