Who Said It Would Last Forever? lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

You say you've been hurt before
It's time you realized
The promises they never meant to keep
They're nothing more than lies

You can come to me with your problems
How he turned you on with his lines
There ain't no use in pretending
'Cause you know love is blind
Who hurt you this time
You're laying your heart on the line

Who said it would last forever
And he'd never break your heart
You should have known better
Lovers sometimes part

So baby stop crying
And wipe those teardrops from your eyes
It's time to get back on your feet again
Life's full of alibis

If I've told you once (once), I've told you twice (twice)
Said it a thousand times before
But you're so young and too innocent
You keep on coming back for more
Who hurt you this time
When you lay your heart on the line

Who said it would last forever
And he'd never break your heart
You should have known better
Cause lovers sometimes part

So hold your head up high
It's lonely in the dark
Let someone else try to mend your broken heart
To make a brand new start of things
And I would give you everything that you were missing

Who said it would last forever
And he'd never break your heart
You should have known better
Lovers sometimes part

Who said it would last forever
And he'd never break your heart
You should have known better
Lovers sometimes part

Who said it would last forever
Who said it would last forever
Who said it would last forever

Open Your Heart lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

You say you've been used before
Whole lot of love then it's out the door
And you swore you'd be used again no more, no more

Then you got on your feet again
It came to you like a long lost friend
Now they say you're wearing a bulletproof heart
Well I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve

Baby believe that I would never hurt you
Baby believe, cause my love will not desert you
Baby believe you know you got me begging and crying
I'm down on my knees

Open your heart and baby love again
Cause I won't let them take your love from me

You know that I've been hurt too
It's just your heart turns black and blue
There ain't no use in talking about it
You know all there is to say

I wanna love you girl
I wanna show you my world
Stop hiding the key to your heart
Baby let me in, let me in

Can't you see, Im a bandaged refugee
Can't you see, I need you girl to comfort me
Can't you see, oh, of all the tears that you cry
Close your eyes

Open your heart, and baby love again
Cause I won't let them take your love from me
Open your heart, and baby love again
I won't let them take your love from me

Can't you see, Im a bandaged refugee
Can't you see, I need you girl to comfort me
Can't you see, oh, of all the tears that you cry
Close your eyes

Open your heart (I want to love you girl)
You made me love again (I want to show you my world)
I won't let them take your love from me
Open your heart (I want to love you girl)
And baby love again (I want to show you my world)
I won't let them take your love
I won't let them take your love
I won't let them take your love from me

Stringin' A Line lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

(originally by Ian Thomas)

He says he's your friend
But you don't see him
He says he's so damn busy but he don't do nothin' at all
So you get him on the phone, he was just gonna to call you
Says he was thinking about old times
And lookin' at your picture on the wall
He's stringin' you the same old lines
He puts everyone through
They're only lies, intentions just won't do
For the time he feels no wrong
Til he finds out we've caught on
He's stringin' a line
He's stringin' a line
So you try to forget
But that ain't so easy
If you've got one small doubt, that there was ever anything there
So you dangle on a line, a captive fool
You know you'll try again
But it'll just be the same as last time
He's stringin' you the same old lines
He puts everyone through
They're only lies, intentions just won't do
For the time he feels no wrong
Til he finds out we've caught on
He's stringin' a line
He's stringin' you the same old lines
He puts everyone through
They're only lies, intentions just won't do
For the time he feels no wrong
Til he finds out we've caught on
He's stringin' a line
He's stringin' a line
He's stringin' a line
He's stringin' a line
He's stringin' a line
He's stringin' a line
He's stringin' a line

Don't Leave Me Tonight lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

If I had to I would lie for you
And baby I would cry, I'd cry for you
If I have to, I'll get down on my knees for you

Tommy's home and waiting up for you
And it you leave, he'll make you black and blue
Please don't go, not this time
Oh no don't leave me tonight

Don't leave me tonight, don't leave me tonight
Don't leave me tonight, oh no no

If you only knew what you put me through
And how many night I've waited up for you
Thinkin' about you baby every night
Now you're here and you've gotta go home

We can hide out and rendezvous
Just me and just you
So please baby please, don't put up a fight
Oh no don't leave me tonight

Don't leave me tonight, don't leave me tonight
Don't leave me tonight, oh no no

Don't leave me tonight (oh baby not tonight)
Don't leave me tonight (I can't take it this time)
Don't leave me tonight (Oh no no no)

He don't love you half as much as I do
Promise you'll stay the night, and love me too
Yeah yeah yeah

I can't stand another night alone
Or talkin' to you on the phone
So tell 'em that we're runnin' away
Tell 'em anything you want
Please stay now, don't say you'll go

Don't leave me tonight
Everything's gonna be alright
I need you girl, I need you to stay
Don't turn your back and walk away

Don't leave me tonight, don't leave me tonight
Don't leave me tonight, oh no no

Don't leave me tonight (everything will be alright)
Don't leave me tonight (I can tell you I love you)
Don't leave me tonight (I'm goin' outa my mind I
Can't stand the nights alone)

Don't leave me tonight (So baby don't say you're goin')
Don't leave me tonight (Oh baby stay around)
Don't leave me tonight (I can't take it, can't take it
Can't take it, can't
Take it without you, so baby please hang on)

More Than We Bargained For lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

I've always wanted what I couldn't have
I hope and dream that maybe someday
That I'd find out what love was all about
I sure grew up tonight the hard way
Now the candy store's closed, the movie's sold out
High Plains Drifter isn't what it's all about
And now were parting ways, I won't say a word
Let our broken hearts cry in their graves
Where they'll never be heard

It's more than we bargained for
Our love is the price weve paid
And just like a fading dream....
It's slippin' away

Last night I saw you out with my best friend
When I'm with you I see him in your eyes
I want to hold you but I don't understand
There's something there that's so hard to disguise

Now tears run down your face, as you walk through the night
Those cold empty streets leave you wondering what's right
As you walk away with your broken heart
Don't you try to deny that true love had torn you apart

More than we bargained for
Our love is the price weve paid
And just like a fading dream....
It's slippin' away

It's more than we bargained for
It's more than we bargained for

More than we bargained for
Our love is the price weve paid
And just like a fading dream....
It's slippin' away

More than we bargained for
Our love is the price weve paid
And just like a fading dream....
It's slippin' away

For You lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

You say that I'm a hopeless romantic
'Cause I've been in love before
But baby since the first night I saw you
Things haven't been the same
I didn't know you had a steady guy
Always hangin' round
But I want you to know baby anytime
You want to change your plans

For you, I'd always be around
For you, I'd ride my life away
For you baby, I would if you'd let me

I seen you last night at the drive-in
You look lonely, all alone
Your eyes they were glued to the picture
Were you wishing you were at home
Do you stay up nights like I do
Do you start dialing the telephone
Do you dream of us
Lovers out on the town
Holdin' hands and fooling around

For you, I'd always be around
For you, I'd ride my life away
For you baby, I would, why dont you let me

I want you to know that darlin'
We could be like Romeo & Juliet
Maybe tonight if we go all the way
We've been through a lot
You just gotta say, I love you
And then well be out among the stars

For you, I'd always be around
For you, I'd ride my life away
For you baby, I would, if you'd let me
For you, I'd always be around
For you, lovin' till the sun comes down
For you, baby I would, if you'd let me

Hollywood Dreams lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

Now I've always been a dreamer
Endless fantasies run through my mind
The vivid memories of days we spent together
They seem so long ago
Why'd you have to leave me, why'd you let me go

We're used to chasing rainbows, but they're not hard to find
My baby used to love me, fame left it all behind
Now I've become a prisoner, locked up behind four walls
You say I've got life easy, but I've got no life at all
So now I've made the grade, they know who I am
I've made it to the top a lonely man

Those hot lights and Hollywood dreams
Can't bring back the love that you gave to me
Headlines and star on the rise
I lost you chasing those Hollywood Dreams

Smile for the cameras is all they ever say
Transmitting my emotions a thousand miles away
They chase me through the streets, calling out my name
I'm coming home to you, this life is driving me insane
Climbing up those stairs, knocking on the door
She don't recognize me or want me anymore

Those hot lights and Hollywood dreams
Can't bring back, the love that you gave to me
Headlines and star on the rise
I lost you chasing those Hollywood Dreams

Those hot lights and Hollywood Dreams
Can't bring back the love that you gave to me
Headlines and star on the rise
I lost you chasing those Hollywood dreams
Hot lights and Hollywood dreams
Can't bring back, the love that you gave to me
Headlines and star on the rise
I lost you chasing those Hollywood dreams
Hot Lights
The spot lights can't bring back youre love to me
Chasing those Hollywood...

All Talk, No Action lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

First time I saw you girl
I knew that it wouldn't be long
I tried holding back my feelings
But you came on so strong
No one told me about her
But I know they all knew
That I know all about the girls
That do the things you do

Cause you're all talk, no action
You're all talk, no action

You're playing those games with me baby
But one of us has got to win
Someday all the boys are gonna find out
That you won't even play it with them
You're running out of numbers baby
You won't say no, you just say maybe
One of these days you're gonna get
What's coming to you

Cause you're all talk, no action
All talk, no action
You're all talk, no action
You better stop this fooling around
You're all talk no action
You turn it up to cool me down, cool me down, cool me down

Sticks and stones will break my bones
But their names could never hurt me
Cause I ain't afraid of you running away
If you love me tonight then desert me

Cause you're all talk, and no action
You're all talk, but no action
You're all talk, but no action
You're all talk
You're all talk, no action
You're all talk, no action
All talk, no action
All talk, no action

Don't Keep Me Wondering lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

When I come home, it's late, I feel so all alone
What was my mistake, baby, why don't you care at all?
Well if it's just a change in you, Ill adjust
But if you're true give me a sign of your trust
And am I supposed to be true to you

Don't keep me wonderin', do I still have your love
Don't keep me wonderin', if you've given up

When I come to bed, you're there, but I feel so all alone
What can I do, short of sleepin' on the floor
I might be slow girl but I'm not dumb
The question arises, am I the only one?
And am I supposed to be in love with you

Don't keep me wonderin', do I still have your love
Don't keep me wonderin', have you given up
Don't you keep me baby

I might be slow girl, I'm not dumb
The question arises, am I the only one?
And am I supposed to be in love with you

Don't keep me wonderin', do I still have your love
Don't keep me wonderin', have you given up
Don't keep me wonderin', do I still have your love
Don't keep me wonderin', have you given up
Don't you give up baby

Head Over Heels lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

I've been hell raised on leather
High heel, studded, black, cool boots
Had anything any man could have wanted
All I ever wanted was you

And baby I've done whatever I wanted
I stole the lights and I've had command
Of the world, a wrath of angels
They're bought and sold on a shake of a hand

And I, I'm head over heels for you
And I'm here to say that it's true
I'm head over heels for you

I know you've seen all those romantic movies
How the hero comes to take you away
But then you wake up and you're all alone now
But that's all gonna change today

Remember being all alone
Remember crying on a rainy day
It don't have to be that bad now
It don't have to be that way

And I know what it's like baby to fall in love
Because I've fallen in love with you
It's true, yeah it's true

And I'm head over heels for you
And I'm here to say that it's true
I'm head over heels for you, yeah

And I know what it's like baby to fall in love
Because I've fallen in love with you
It's true, yeah it's true

And I'm head over heels for you
And I'm here to say that it's true
I'm head over heels for you

And I'm head over heels for you
And I'm here to say that it's true
I'm head over heels
I'm head over heels
I'm head over heels for you

No One Does It Like You lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

When she walks when she talks
She does it just like you
The way she do everythig
She does it just like you
And Lord knows that she moves so fine
Those precious lips came and blew my mind
But I can't love somebody new

No one does it like you
No one does it like you

Someone's taken my place
Baby say it ain't true
All your friends say you love him
Baby say it ain't true
I close my eyes and I see your face
Those memories lost that I can't replace
Of all the crazy things that we do

No one does it like you
No one does it like you
No one does it like you
No one does it like you

I was wrong I must have been crazy
Now I think I'm goin' out of my mind
These thoughts of you are driving me crazy
A girl like you is so hard to find

When she walks when she talks
She does it just like you
The way she do everything
She does it just like you
And Lord knows that she moves so fine
Those precious lips came and blew my mind
But I can't love somebody new

I try to find a girl to treat me right
I take a different one home every night
But no one makes my dreams come true
No one does it like you
No one does it like you
No one does it like you
No one does it like you

What You Want lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

I don't care about where you've been
I don't care about anything but today
And baby, you and me

She lives her life behind neon lights
Whispering softly, you fall for her again
Another night, they're all the same

We're living here on borrowed time
So you go your way and I'll go mine
I'm still waiting for someone special
To come and take me away

What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need
Well baby I'll be giving for free
I'm leaving in the morning and I'll be gone

I took her home through a parking lot
Up to that old forgotten spot
Where all the tough guys used to go
Then I told her I love her, I'd take her away
Follow my dreams get out of this rat trap someday
Come on baby, let's get away
She said, you know I've heard it all before
How youre lifes a revolving door
You think, you're gonna get out
But you're always in and youll never win

What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need
Well baby I'll be giving for free
I'm leaving in the morning and I'll be gone

What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need
Well baby I'll be giving for free
Well tonights ours baby, in the morning I'll be gone

What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need
Well I'll be giving for free
I'm leaving in the morning and I'll be gone

What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need
Baby I'll be giving for free
Tonights ours baby in the morning I'll be gone

Don't You Believe Him lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

I know it's been a long time, since I called you last
Remember all those dreams that we had, the time went by so damn fast
You said I had to flaunt those girls I kept by my sides for kicks
You let the rumors fly, it's nothing new
What those little boys will do to get their fix

You broke my heart when you said goodbye, bye, bye
You believed him when he told you a lie
Without your love baby I'm gonna die

Don't you believe him (don't you believe him)
He's gonna fill you up with lies
Don't you believe him darling, (don't you believe him)
He's gone too far this time

Since you left me baby, since you gone and stole my heart
I remember the very night that I broke down and fell apart
Girl you don't remember, what Im up here to be
Baby, baby don't you know, you're the biggest part of me

It broke my heart when you said good bye, bye, bye
You believed him when he told you a lie
Without your love baby I'm gonna die

Don't you believe him (don't you believe him)
He's gonna fill you up with lies
Don't you believe him darling, (don't you believe him)
He's gone too far this time

Broke my heart when you said goodbye, bye, bye
You believed him when he told you a lie
Without your love baby I'm gonna die

Don't you believe him (don't you believe him)
He's gonna fill you up with lies
Don't you believe him darling, (don't you believe him)
He's gone too far this time

Don't you believe him, don't you believe him
Don't you believe him, don't you believe him

Talkin' In Your Sleep lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

Another lonely night, on the telephone we talk
When will the lightening strike, the thundering roar
Pretending that you miss the touch of my caress
But our lips never met, cause one kiss could never last

Locked up inside your room
You play your lover's tunes
You dance all night, but you run out of moves
You're so close but out of reach
Your voice is haunting me

You've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep baby
You're talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep

You play so hard to get
I know you'll never change your ways
You make the minutes seem like hours
The hours seem like days

You know I'll come when you whisper
I'll run when you call
And when I'm calling out to you
Oh baby, I got no replies at all

This hide and seek were playing
Is such a vicious game
But it don't matter what you say
I love you anyway

'Cause you've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep baby
You're talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep

You've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep

You've been talking in your sleep again
Talking in your sleep
You've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep baby
Talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep

You've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep baby
Talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep

Bobby's Girl lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

I'd give you my ring, I'd fill you with promises
I'd give you anything you want
If you told me that we could be more than friends
Run with me baby, on a magic carpet ride

Well live for tomorrow, everything'll be alright
'Cause it don't matter what they say
She's Bobby's girl, Johnny, you're playing with dynamite
She's Bobby's girl, close the door baby, it'll be alright
Come on, lets go

When they say she's Bobby's girl, Johnny, you're playing with dynamite
She's Bobby's girl, close the door honey, it'll be alright now

She's Bobby's girl, come on baby, come with me tonight
She's Bobby's girl, close the door baby, it'll be alright now

Gimme Some Lovin' Charlene lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

I don't need a credit card
To buy your love
I don't need no Cadillac
To match your leather gloves

'Cause I am going crazy
When I take your hand
I need your attention
Not some blank psycho stare

Gimme some lovin' Charlene
Gimme some lovin' Charlene

I know your mama and she don't like me
But I'm not the type of boy
She wants you to see
But I wanna take you home and go for a ride

'Cause I got the poison
Let me inside
Gimme some lovin' Charlene
Gimme some lovin' Charlene, Charlene

I like your made-up-eyes
They glow like fire
I like your moves
'Cause you never tire

And you're familiar with the backseat
Take your sweet time
You build me up so hot
Love's a crime

Gimme some lovin' Charlene
Gimme some lovin' Charlene, Charlene
Charlene...

Don't Do That To Me Anymore lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times
You can't go on playing with people's minds
But you lied thinking that you'd get by
Breaking hearts one by one in a line

'Cause you're driving me crazy
I just can't go on making love to a woman
Who's been playing with me all along
So don't do that to me anymore

Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore

I can count the times you really made me a fool
I guess what we've got was a different set of rules
Well you cried, thinking that I'd breakdown
But I'm not sure I need you hanging around

'Cause you're driving me crazy
I just can't go on making love to a woman
Who's been playing with me all along
Don't do that to me anymore

Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore

You won't have me to kick around anymore
I'm not a fool for you and that's for sure
No reason left for you to try to pretend
I told you before now I'll say it again

Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore

This Woman Is Dangerous lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

She can steal the stars and the moon
She can kill you with a wink of an eye
She's not like those other girls who fall in love the very first time
She's so young, she's old enough for me
And she's so shy, it's a love that I'm gonna see

This woman is dangerous
She'll break your heart and keep you runnin' back for more
This woman is dangerous
But I'm gonna love her like she's never been in love before
This woman is dangerous
I'm just another fool waitin' outside her door

She knew who were the men and who were the boys
She could tell you what they want by the price of their toys
She'd play those game of love, she made a little bit a lot of fun
She started messin' your head up, you're playin' with a loaded gun

This woman is dangerous
She'll break your heart and keep you runnin' back for more
This woman is dangerous
And I'm gonna love her like she's never been in love before
This woman is dangerous
I'm just another fool waitin' outside her door

She'll take you, break you, there's magic in her kiss
I don't know how many nights I'll go on like this
Her touch is warm, her heart is cold, she'll cut you like a knife
But it don't matter what she is, cause I want her in my life

This woman is dangerous
She'll break your heart and keep you runnin' back for more
This woman is dangerous
And I'm gonna love her like she's never been in love before
This woman is dangerous
I'm just another fool waitin' outside her door

Maybe Tomorrow lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

Seems like years since I've been home
Living this dream on the endless roads
Faces in the crowd, they stare at me
Yours is the only one I wanted to see

My heart cries out for sympathy
But I need to hold you next to me
And it won't be long, baby
Maybe tomorrow

These hotel rooms they're all the same
Only the number on the door will be changed
Lord I gotta do me one more show
Then it's into the bus and off we go

Should have talked to you
Well I don't have to try
When I find the music in your eyes
And I'm telling myself that we'll take that ride, baby
Maybe tomorrow
