Without Love
Jon Bon Jovi · Slippery When Wet
There still was innocence
In painted smiles
She called to me as I past her by
Lady of the night looked into my eyes
She said: I have been through some changes
But one thing always stays the same
Without love, theres nothing without love
Nothing else can get you through the night
Nothing else feels right without love
I saw a man down on lonely street
A broken man who looked like me
And no one knows the pain he's been living
He lost his love and still hasn't forgivin
He said: I've been through some changes
But only one thing always stays the same
Without love, there's nothing without love
Nothing else can get you through the night
Nothing else feels right without love
There's nothing without love
Nothing else but love can burn as bright
And nothing would mean nothing without love
I see my life
There's some things I took for granted
Love's passed me by
So many second chances
I was afraid
But I won't be afraid no more
Without love, there's nothing without love
Nothing else can get you through the night
Nothing else feels right without love
There's nothing without love
Nothing else but love can burn as bright
And nothing would mean nothing without love
