1.LIVIN' ON A PRAYER

Once upon a time
Not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks
Unions been on strike

Hes down on his luck...its tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day

Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

She says weve got to hold on to what weve got
cause it doesnt make a difference
If we make it or not

Weve got each other and thats a lot
For love - well give it a shot

Whooah, were half way there
Livin on a prayer

Take my hand and well make it - I swear
Livin on a prayer

Tommys got his six string in hock
Now hes holding in what he used

To make it talk - so tough, its tough
Gina dreams of running away

When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers baby its okay, someday

Weve got to hold on to what weve got
cause it doesnt make a difference
If we make it or not

Weve got each other and thats a lot
For love - well give it a shot

Weve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when its all that youve got

2.BORDERLINE

You call every hour, but theres nothing to say
So talk to me now, before its too late

Oh they say it couldnt happen, but I saw your picture breathe
That fifty dollar doctor said your love is a disease

Im alright, Im okay
Still I dont know how, and I dont know why
But the talk turns to shop, and so we stand on the edge of goodbye

Is this the end of the beginning, or beginning of an end
Are you friend or the enemy, or enemy or the friend

I walk the borderline
Between day and the night, wrong and the right
Borderline

The voices they scream from inside of me
On the borderline
I walk the borderline

I hear talk on the streets, I hear rumors of you
The people I meet say, that the lies are all true

And I wake up in a cold sweat, find you lying fast asleep
Is my dream a reality, reality a dream

Ive crossed the borderline
Between day and the night, wrong and the right
Borderline

The voices they scream from inside of me
On the borderline
I walk the borderline

I walk the borderline
Between day and the night, wrong and the right
Borderline

The voices they scream from inside of me
On the borderline
I walk the borderline
Yeah, yeah, yeah

3. HARDEST PART IS THE NIGHT

In the heat of the street of the city
A young boy hides the pain

And he walks so tall, trying to hang on
But he knows he's going down again
I know he's going down...

Darkness fades he's the prince of his city
In a place where they all know your name

You can see in their eyes life so paralyzed.
Your just a pawn in a losin' game
You lose at life it ain't no game

Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night

(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)
Stay alive
The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...

All alone in a place where the lonely
They all have to walk through the rain

And they dance on the edge where you only
Only pray that it has to end
That the night ain't no friend

Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night
(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)
Stay alive

The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...

These four walls they could tell you some stories
About lying and dying and fame

There's a price that you pay for the glory
About losing and choosing and pain.

Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night

In the night, hear their cries, in the night
Stay alive
In the night, stay alive, in the night

4. BURNING FOR LOVE

Ive been lied to, you been cheated
Ive been cried to, you been mistreated

Ive been watching you, you want action
You need love and I need satisfaction

Im burning for love
Filled with desire

I cant stand the heat
And my hearts on fire

I cant get enough
Its down to the wire

Im making my move, Im looking for you
Im burning for love

Youre the victim its in your eyes
Im the suspect and loves the crime

Tensions mounting bodies shaking
I cant take the anticipation

Now that I got you in my sight
Cant take another sleepless night
Oh, no, no

You can run but you cant hide
Youre the only one I need
To feel the fire inside
