Bon Jovi | It's My Life

It's a hard world to get a break in All the good things have been taken But girl there are ways To make certain things pay Though I'm dressed in these rags I'll wear sable some day Hear what I say I'm gonna ride the serpent No more time spent sweating rent Hear my command I'm breaking loose, it ain't no use Holding me down, stick around And baby, baby Remember, remember It's my life and I'll do what I want It's my mind and I'll think like I want Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime But some day I'll treat you real fine There'll be women and their fortunes Who just want to mother orphans Are you gonna cry? While I'm squeezin' them dry Takin' all I can get, no regrets When I openly lie And live on their money Believe me, honey You can have so much fun with all of that money Can you believe? I ain't no saint, no complaints So girl throw out Any doubt? And baby (Baby) Remember (Remember) It's my life and I'll do what I want It's my mind and I'll think like I want Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime But some day I'll treat you real fine It's my life and I'll do what I want So don't push me It's my mind and I'll think like I want It's my life It's my life and I'll do what I want And I can do what I want It's my mind and I'll think like I want It's my life and I'll do what I want I'll do what I want It's my mind and I'll think like I want It's my life and I'll do what I want(ah yeah) It's my mind and I'll think like I want It's my life and I'll do what I want

Yesterday's a memory Another page of history Sell yourself for hopes and dreams That leave you feeling sideways Tripping over my own feet Tryna walk to my own beat Another car out on the street Tryna find the highway Hey, are you going my way? This is the story of my life And I write it every day (story of my life) I know it isn't black and white And it's anything but gray I know that no, I'm not alright But I'll be okay 'cause anything can, everything can happen That's the story of my life I'm gonna write the melody That's gonna make history Yeah, and when I paint my masterpiece I swear I'll show you first There just ain't a way to see Who, when, why, or what will be 'Til now is then, it's a mystery A blessing and a curse Or something worse, yeah This is the story of my life And I write it every day (story of my life) I know it isn't black and white (write it every day) And it's anything but gray I know that no, I'm not alright But I'll be okay 'cause anything can, everything can I've been thinking maybe you can Help me write the story of my life Hey, what do you say? This is the story of my life And I write it every day And I hope you're by my side When I'm writing the last page This is the story of my life And I write it every day (story of my life) I know it isn't black and white (write it every day) And it's anything but gray I know that no, I'm not alright But I'll be okay 'cause anything can, everything can I've been thinking maybe we can This is the story of my life (story of my life) The story of my life The story of my life (write it every day) This is the story of life (story of my life) The story of my life This is the story of my life

Try to walk on water You sink just like a stone Said you'd get home early, but you always stay too long You've got all the answers But the answers are all wrong I can't save me from my sins Innocence my long-lost friend No wind, no rain can wash away These hallowed words my mouth won't pray You fly, you fall Life is beautiful She's there to lift me up, but I only let her down A guilty king wears a broken crown She's sweet forgiveness in a lonesome lost and found I can't save me from my sins Innocence my long-lost friend No wind, no rain can wash away These hallowed words my mouth won't pray You fly, you fall Life is beautiful New gets old The night gets cold The sad goodbye Life is beautiful The sky is cracked We can't go back Dry your eyes Life is beautiful I can't save me from my sins Innocence my long-lost friend No wind, no rain can wash away These hallowed words my mouth won't pray New gets old The night gets cold The sad goodbye Life is beautiful The sky is cracked We can't go back Dry your eyes Life is beautiful Life is beautiful

These days what's left of me ain't no Prince Charming And my Cinderella feels like she stayed at the dance too long We ain't got much but what we got is all that matters We're pickin' up the pieces, tryin' to put 'em back where they belong Ohh, it's gonna be alright This is love, this is life When times get tough we're still worth the fight This is love, this is life The road here's paved with the brokenhearted We gotta finish what we started Ohhh, better hold on tight This is love, this is life These days it seems like there's three sides to every story There's yours, mine, lately there's the cold hard truth Who cares who's wrong or right when we turn out the lights? We'll find forgiveness when we're in each other's arms tonight It ain't pretty but somehow we always make it through Ohh, it's gonna be alright This is love, this is life When times get tough we're still worth the fight This is love, this is life The road here's paved with the brokenhearted We gotta finish what we started Ohhh, better hold on tight This is love, this is life Ohh, it's gonna be alright This is love, this is life When times get tough we're still worth the fight This is love, this is life The road here's paved with the brokenhearted We gotta finish what we started Ohhh, better hold on tight This is love, this is life This is love, this is life This is love, this is life

Thorn in my side You're always there Just to remind me That I still care Thorn in my side You won't let me go Right there beside me To let me know I've been pushed around Been knocked down Lost a round or three Life took a couple of things I loved When I was too blind to see But I'll survive I gave up on luck but I'm still getting by Yeah I'm going to be alright You can test my faith But you can't take my pride Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, ooooah Thorn in my side You just won't quit Once in a while when I crack a smile You rub my face in it Thorn in my side You won't let me run God bless the fights That I've lost and won But I'll survive I gave up on luck but I'm still getting by Yeah I'm going to be alright You can test my faith But you can't take my pride Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, thorn in my side Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, thorn in my side I've been pushed around Been knocked down Lost a round or three Life took a couple of things I loved When I was too blind to see But I'll survive I gave up on luck but I'm still getting by Yeah I'm going to be alright You can test my faith But you can't take my pride Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, thorn in my side Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, thorn in my side Thorn in my side, wooah, wooooahh ohhh Wooah oh oh, woooah oh ohhhh

Barkeep pour me one last shot, 'cause I must be on my way Gotta make that same old stop that this soul makes everyday Tell me why am I holding on? Harry, why is the love a flame? It burns you when it's hot, but Cupid's fire trucks never came I can't bend the hands of time, so I think myself to sleep The way you never said goodbye if only in my dreams Tell me where you want to go Tell me what you long to be Are you longing for my touch? If only in my dreams We'll sing the love songs you once sung Touch the stars you want to reach And I will see the job gets done, if only in my dreams Lord, I'd sacrifice my eyes, there's nothing else I'd rather see You can have my heart, it's of little use to me And if you want my soul, I'd throw it in for free It's all I'm worth that's left, since my angel got her wings Now I'm down and on my knees, it's of little use to pray Unless you give her back, but there's no deals cut these days They're only in my dreams Tell me where you want to go Tell me what you long to be Are you longing for my touch? If only in my dreams We'll sing the love songs you once sung Touch the stars you want to reach And I'll see the job gets done, if only in my dreams Now I curse the daytime When I'm alone at night time 'Cause I swore the sun shined just for you And I know you anywhere There ain't no pain, there ain't no tears And if I have my way from the moment I get there Take me where you wanna go We'll be who you wanna be All I needed was your touch, all I want is you and me We'll sing the love songs you once sung And you'll be in my dream Until the war is won, it's only in my dreams
