Open All Night
Jon Bon Jovi · Bounce
Trying to hide behind that pretty face.
Bet my last dollar baby you've been bruised,
Poor little heart all black 'n' blue.
Last thing you need's another pick-up line,
You must have heard them all a thousand times.
God only knows what you've been through,
Believe me, I've been broken, too.
It aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away
I've been around that block a time or two, baby.
Chorus:
I don't wanna fall in love with you.
I try, try, try, but I can't get around the truth.
Please don't say my name, give this heart a break.
I don't want to make the same mistakes.
It's too late, I''ll leave on the light.
These arms are open all night.
I've got your taste in the back of my mouth,
I wanna reach in and pull it out.
And I'd be lying if I didn't say: when you're this close,
I'm afraid of the way I'll feel if I touch your hair,
The way I'll miss you when you're not there
And that I'll see you when I close my eyes.
It's too late, I've crossed that line.
It aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away.
I'll still be around come closing time.
Chorus:
I don't wanna fall in love with you.
I try, try, try, but I can't get around the truth.
Please don't say my name, give this heart a break.
I don't want to make the same mistakes.
It's too late, I''ll leave on the light.
These arms are open all night.
It's 2 a.m., it's last call baby.
The barkeep's gone
I'll walk you home now
Save me, baby.
Chorus:
Baby, I don't wanna fall in love with you.
I try, try, try, but I can't get around the truth.
Please don't make me beg, give this heart a break.
Please don't make me make the same mistakes.
But it's too late, I'll leave on the light.
These arms are open all night.
