Ëèðèêà: Have A Nice Day (2005)

Have a nice Day


Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, John Shanks



Why you wanna tell me how to live my life?

Who are you to tell me if it's black or white?

Momma, can you help me try to understand

Is innocence the difference 'tween a boy and a man?

My daddy lived to die, that's just the price that he paid

Sacrificed his life just slaving away



Oh, if there's one thing I hang onto that gets me thru the nite

I ain't gonna do what I don't want to; I'm gonna live my life

Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice

Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly

When the world gets in my face, I say…

Have a nice day

Have a nice day



Take a look around you; nothing's what it seems

We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams

Let me be the first to shake a helping hand

Anybody brave enough to take a stand

I've knocked on every door on every dead-end street

Looking for forgiveness and what's left to believe



Oh, if there's one thing I hang onto that gets me thru the night

I ain't gonna do what I don't' want to; I'm gonna live my life

Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice

Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly

When the world gets in my face, I say…

Have a nice day

Have a nice day



I want be loved


Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, John Shanks



I had a roof overhead

Had shoes on my feet

Yeah, sure I was fed

But no one was there when I was in need, yeah



So who am I now?

Who do you want me to be?

I can forgive you but I won't re-live you

I ain't the same scared kid I used to be



I'm gonna live

I'm gonna survive

I don't want the world to pass me by

I'm gonna dream

I ain't gonna die

Thinking my life was just a lie

I wanna be loved

I wanna be loved



I found a picture

Our so-called family tree, yeah

I broke all the branches lookin' for answers

Don't you know that ain't how it's supposed to be?



I'm gonna live

I'm gonna survive

I don't want the world to pass me by

I'm gonna dream

I ain't gonna die

Thinking my life was just a lie

I wanna give

I'm ready to try

Willing to lay it on the line

I wanna be loved

I wanna be…



I ain't gonna cry; I don't wanna scream

But I got so much left unsaid inside of me



I'm gonna live

I'm gonna survive

Don't want the world to pass me by

I'm gonna dream

I ain't gonna die

Thinking my life was just a lie

I wanna give

I'm ready to try

Willing to lay it on the line

I wanna beloved

I wanna be loved

I just wanna be love

I wanna be loved

I wanna be loved

I wanna be loved



Welcome to Whereever You Are


Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, John Shanks



Maybe we're all different but we're still the same

We all got the blood of Eden running through our veins

I know sometimes it's hard for you to see

You're caught between just who you are and who you want to be



If you feel alone and lost and need a friend

Remember every new beginning is some beginning's end



Welcome to wherever you are

This is your life; you made it this far

Welcome, you got to believe

That right here, right now

You're exactly where you're supposed to be

Welcome to wherever you are



When everybody's in and you're left out

And you feel you're drowning in the shadow of a doubt

Everyone's a miracle in their own way

Just listen to yourself, not what other people say



When it's seems you're lost, alone and feeling down

Remember everybody's different; just take a look around



Welcome to wherever you are

This is your life; you made it this far

Welcome, you got to believe

Right here, right now

You're exactly where you're supposed to be



Be who you want to be

Be who you are

Everyone's a hero

Everyone's a star



When you want to give up and your heart's about to break

Remember that you're perfect; God makes no mistakes



Welcome to wherever you are

This is your life; you made it this far

Welcome, you got to believe

Right here, right now

You're exactly where you're supposed to be

And I say welcome…

I say welcome…

Welcome…



Who Says You Can't Go Home


Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora



I spent twenty years trying to get out of this place

I was looking for something I couldn't replace

I was running away from the only thing I've ever known

Like a blind dog without a bone

I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone

I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold



I been there, done that

But I ain't looking back on the seeds I've sown

Saving dimes spending too much time on the telephone

Who says you can't go home



Who says you can't go home

There's only one place they call me one of their own

Just a hometown boy born a rolling stone

Who says you can't go home

Who says you can't go back

I been all around the world and as a matter of fact

There's only one place left I want to go

Who says you can't go home

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright



I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face

There isn't one of these lines that I would erase

I lived a million miles of memories on that road

With every step I take I know that I'm not alone

You take the home from the boy

But not the boy from his home

These are my streets, the only life I've ever known

Who says you can't go home



Who says you can't go home

There's only one place they call me one of their own

Just a hometown boy born a rolling stone

Who says you can't go home

Who says you can't go home

I been all around the world and as a matter of fact

There's only one place left I want to go

Who says you can't go home

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Who says you can't go home

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Who says you can't go home



I been there, done that and I ain't looking back

It's been a long, long road

Feels like I never left, that's how the story goes



It doesn't matter where you are, It doesn't matter where you go

If it's a million miles away or just ten miles up the road

Take it in , Take it with you when you go

Who says you can't go home?



Last Man Standing


Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Falcon



Come see a living, breathing spectacle only seen right here

It's your last chance in this lifetime, the line forms at the rear

You won't believe your eyes

Your eyes will not believe your ears

Get your money out, get ready

Step right up, yeah you, come here



You ain't seen nothing like him, he's the last one of the breed

Better hold on to your, honey

Honeys, don't forget to breathe

Enter at your own risk, mister

It might change the way you think

There's no dancers, there's no diamonds

No, this boy don't lip synch



Here's the last man standing

Step right up, here's the real thing

The last chance of a lifetime

Come and see, hear, feel… the real thing



See those real live calloused fingers wrapped around those guitar strings

Kiss the lips where hurt has lingered

It breaks your heart to hear them sing

The songs were more than music, they were pictures from the soul

So keep your pseudo-punk, hip-hop, pop-rock junk

And your digital downloads



Here's the last man standing

Step right up, here's the real thing

The last chance of a lifetime

To come and see, hear, feel… the real thing



Take your seats, now folks - it's showtime

Hey, Patrick, hit the lights

There's something in the air, there's magic in the night

Now here's the band, the really play

I'll count the first one in

I don't know where it's going

We all know where it's been



Here's the last man standing

Step right up, here's the real thing

The last chance of a lifetime

To come and see, hear, feel…

The last man standing

Step right up, here's the real thing

The last chance of a lifetime

Come and see, hear, feel…

The real thing, the real thing, the real thing, the real thing…



Bells of Freedom


Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Desmond Child



I have walked all alone

On these streets I call home

Streets of hope, streets of fear

Through the sidewalk cracks time disappears



I was lost, on my knees

On the eve of defeat

As I choked back the tears

There's a silent scream no one could hear



So far away from everything you know is true

Something inside that makes you do what you got to do



Ring them bells, ring them loud

Let them ring here and now

Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom

When your world's crashing down

Like you're lost every round

Stand your ground

And ring the Bells of Freedom



Up the steps of the church

Through the fields and the dirt

In the dark I have seen

That the sun still shines for the one who believes



So far away

So full of doubt and needing proof

Just close your eyes and hear the sounds inside of you



Ring them bells, ring them loud

Let them ring here and now

Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom

When your world's comes crashing down

Like you've lost every round

Stand your ground

And ring the bells of freedom



Ring them bells, ring them loud

Let them ring here and now

Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom

Yeah, when your world comes crashing down

Like you've lost every round

Stand your ground and ring the Bells of Freedom

Ring them bells, ring them loud

Let them ring here and now

Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom…



Wildflower


Jon Bon Jovi



She wakes up when I sleep to talk to ghosts like in the movies

If you don't follow what I mean, I sure don't mean to be confusing

They say when she laughs she wants to cry

She'll draw a crowd then try to hide

Don't know if it's her or just my mind I'm losing



Nobody knows a wildflower still grows

By the side of the road

And she don't need to need like the roses

Wildflower



That girl's sure put a spell on me

Yeah, her voodoos hidden right behind her pocket

If she's fire, I'm gasoline

Yeah, we fight a lot but neither wants to stop it

Well, she'll tell you she's an only child until you meet her brothers

Swear she's never met the man she couldn't make into a lover



Nobody knows a wildflower still grows

By the side of the road

And she don't need to need like the roses

She's at home with the weeds

And just as free as the night breeze

She's got the cool of a shade tree

She's growin' on me and I can't live with out her



Yesterday's a memory

Tomorrow's accessory

That's her favorite quote about regret

Well, she'll tell you 'bout her pedigree

With a sailor's mouth he'd have left at sea and it ain't over yet



Nobody knows…

Nobody knows… a wildflower still grows

By the side of the road

And she don't need to need like the roses, the roses

She feels at home with the weeds

And just as free as the night breeze

She's got the cool of a shade tree

She's growin' on me and I can't live without her

But nobody knows…

Nobody knows…

Nobody knows…

Nobody knows…

That's right…



Last Cigarette


Jon Bon Jovi, David Bryan



Regrets are all you left on your lipstick stains

Take a picture of our past there in that ashtray

We had our fun, I used to light your flame

Like the dancing smoke that rose we tried to find our way

No one told me, she told me



Your love's like one last cigarette

Last cigarette, I will savor it

The last cigarette

Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends

But when it's gone, it's gone

The last cigarette



Just to breathe reminds me of what used to be

The smoke's the ghost that keeps you close when I can't sleep

Don't ask the past to last; it's about to change

The memories don't answer when I call your name

No one told me, she told me



Your love's like one last cigarette

Last cigarette, I will savor it

The last cigarette

Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends

But when it's gone, it's gone

One last cigarette, last cigarette

One I can't forget, the last cigarette

Right there at my fingertips, I got your taste still on my lips

Right or wrong

You're still gone, gone, gone

The last cigarette



No one told me, she told me

You always lose the girl in a Brian Wilson world



Your love's like one last cigarette

Last cigarette, I will savor it

The last cigarette

Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends

But when it's gone, it's gone

One last cigarette, last cigarette

One I can't forget, the last cigarette

Right there at my fingertips, I got your taste still on my lips

Right or wrong

You're still gone, gone, gone

The last cigarette…



I am


Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, John Shanks



How you spend your minutes are what matters

All tomorrows come from yesterdays

When you're feeling broken, bruised and sometimes shattered

Blow out the candles on the cake

Like everything's a big mistake



It seems you always wait for life to happen

And your last buck can't buy a lucky break

If all we've got is us then life's worth living

And if you're in, you know I'm in

I'm ready and I'm willing



I am

When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you

No one's there to understand

I am

I'll be there to be that someone

When you think that no one is there to hold your hand

I am



We're just who we are, there's no pretending

It takes a while to learn to live in your own skin

Say a prayer that we might find our happy ending

And if you're in you know I'm in

I'm ready and I'm willing



I am

When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you

No one's there to understand

I am

I'll be there to be that someone

When you think that no one is there to hold your hand

I am



I ain't got no halo hanging over my head

I ain't gonna judge you, I'm just here to love you

I am, I am



I am

When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you

No one's there to understand

I am

I'll be there to be that someone

When you think that no one is there to hold your hand

I am

When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you

No one's there to understand

I am

I'll be there to be that someone

When you think that no one is there to hold your hand

I am

I am

I am



Complicated


Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Falcon, Max Martin



Take a look around, this is what I see

Is there anybody else that feels like me, yeah

You sweat, you sweat, you bleed, you bleed

What you get ain't what you see

Up is down and black is white to me



I'm complicated, I get frustrated

Right or wrong, love or hate it

I'm complicated, you can't sedate it

I heard that song but I won't play it

It's alright, it's OK, you wouldn't want me any other way

Momma, keep on praying 'cause I ain't changin'

I'm complicated, yeah

I'm complicated, yeah



I'm smart enough to know what I don't know

I'm fool enough to stay when I should go

You work, you work, you cry, you cry

You watch your whole life pass you by

Sometimes you've got to close your eyes to see



I'm complicated, I get frustrated

Right or wrong, love or hate it

I'm complicated, you can't sedate it

Heard that song but I won't play it

It's alright, it's OK, you wouldn't want me any other way

Momma, keep on praying 'cause I ain't changin'

I'm complicated, yeah

I'm complicated, yeah



Is there anybody out there?

Just like everybody out there

Just one somebody out there, Just like me



I'm complicated, I get frustrated

Right or wrong, love or hate it

I'm complicated, you can't sedate it

I heard that song but I won't play it

It's alright, it's okay, you wouldn't want me any other way

Momma, keep on praying, 'cause I ain't changin'

I'm complicated, I get frustrated

Right or wrong, love or hate it

I'm complicated, you can't sedate it

Heard that song but I won't play it



Is there anybody out there?

Just like everybody out there

Just one somebody out there

Just like me

Is there anybody out there

Just like everybody out there

Just one somebody out there

Just like me

I'm complicated



Novocaine


Jon Bon Jovi



You can take back all your secrets

We'll divide up all the lies

Keep all the pictures in their frames

Just cut me out, yeah, I'll be fine

Sell the neighbors all my feelings

Go on give away my pride

It's hard to laugh and cry, live and die every night



Keep your rolodex of friends

And all the remnants can be mind

I guess there'll be no happy endings

When “once upon” is doing time

There's a different kind of meaning now

To livin' on a prayer

Some don't seem to notice

And the rest don't seem to care



I tell myself I (feel no pain)

But I'm feeling the pain (walk away)

Can't walk away

I'm hanging on the ropes of hope

It's getting hard to cope you know

When you're the needle running through my veins

I've changed my name to novocaine



You put my favorite belongings in a box in the garage (let's get this straight)

You burned my favorite sweats from high school

Tried to sell my muscle car (that's not OK)

You're mother's gonna visit for a couple months this year

They say you do the crime, you do the time

It's all so clear



I tell my self I (feel no pain)

But I'm feeling the paint (walk away)

Can't walk away

I'm hanging on the ropes of hope

It's getting hard to cope you know

When you're the needle that's running through my veins

I've changed my name to novacaine (feel no pain)

Novacaine



Well things ain't what they used to be

It's a sleepless, self-help century

I'm up to here with Dr. Phil and the modern man in me…



The Story of My Life


Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Falcon



Yesterday's a memory

Another page of history

Sell yourself for hopes and dreams

That leave you feeling sideways

Tripping over my own feet

Trying to walk to my own beat

Another car out on the street

Trying to find the highway

Hey, are you going my way?



This is the story of my life

And I write it everyday

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 OK '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 everyday

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 OK 'cause

Anything can, everything can

I've been thinking

Baby, you can help me write the story of my life

Hey, whaddaya say?



This is the story of my life

And I write it everyday

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 everyday

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 OK 'cause

Anything can, everything can

I've been thinking, baby we can..

This is the story of my life

The story of my life…
