    Quotes: "This is the way I look at sex scenes: I have basically been doing them for a living for years. Trying to seduce an audience is the basis of rock 'n' roll. And if I may say so, I'm pretty good at it..."

    "People who have to tell you how successful they are aren't really successful. That's something I learned sweeping floors at this recording studio called the Power Station. Mediocre stars were the biggest pricks, and the big stars were the ones who came in and said, 'How're those demos going? Keep pushing, you'll get it. It'll happen for you.'"

    "Bad Medicine"

    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 madicine
    Bad medicine is what I need
    Shake it up, just like bad madicine
    There ain't no doctor that can
    Cure my disease

    Bad, bad medicine
    Bad, bad medicine

    I don't need no needle
    To be giving me a thrill
    And I don't need no anesthesia
    Or a nurse to bring a pill
    I got a dirty down addiction
    It doesn't leave a track
    I got a jone for your affection
    Like a monkey 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 madicine
    Bad medicine is what I need
    Shake it up, just like bad madicine
    So let's play doctor, baby
    Cure my disease

    Bad, bad medicine
    Bad, bad medicine

    [Solo]

    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 thay haven't found it yet

    Your love is like bad madicine
    Bad medicine is what I need
    Shake it up, just like bad madicine
    There ain't no doctor that can
    Cure my disease

    Your love is like bad madicine
    Bad medicine is what I need
    Shake it up, just like bad madicine
    Your love's the potion that
    Can cure my disease

    Bad, bad medicine
    Bad, bad medicine

    Bon Jovi - If I Was Your Mother And Lyrics



    If I Was Your Mother lyrics

    If I was your mother
    Would you let me hold your hand
    Would you say you were my baby
    Would you always be my friend

    If I was your mother
    Could I teach you what's right
    Could I tell you stories
    Maybe tuck you in
    And kiss you sweet goodnight

    Tell me what I got to do
    To make my life mean more to you
    I could get so close it's true
    If I was your mother

    Would you always believe me
    'Cause I'd wake up in the middle
    Of the night
    Just to see if you need me

    Tell me there's no mother
    To who you're telling your secrets
    And would you tell me
    'Bout all the boys you been
    Bringing home to meet me

    Tell me what I got to do
    To make my life mean more to you
    I could get so close it's true
    If I was yours

    Mother, mother
    If I was your
    Mother, mother

    When love is blood
    You're never on trial
    Love don't get deeper
    Than a mother & child
    Oh baby, I got to get that
    Close to you

    Tell me what I got to do
    To make my life mean more to you
    I could get so close it's true
    If I was yours

    Tell me what I got to be
    To make you a part of me
    There's no one else you'd ever need
    If I was your

    Mother, mother
    If I was your mother
    Mother, mother

    Mother, mother
    If I was your mother
    Mother, mother

    Never Say Goodbye





    "Never Say Goodbye"

    As I sit in this smokey 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 how we used to talk
    About busting out - we'd break their hearts
    Together - forever

    Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
    You and me and my old friends
    Hoping it would never end
    Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
    Holdin' on - we got to try
    Holdin' on to never say goodbye

    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 goodbye, never say goodbye
    You and me and my old friends
    Hoping it would never end
    Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
    Holdin' on - we got to try
    Holdin' on to never say goodbye

    I guess you'd say we used to talk
    About busting out
    We'd break their hearts
    Together - forever
