Of course I know the band, and I’m so sure that "It’s My Life" is one of the band’s songs (remembered it because of the Toyota endorsement Bon Jovi did a few years back.) (This aint the song for the broken-hearted…It’s my layyyfff! It’s now or never… I aint gonna live forever…)
I didn’t know I’ll enjoy Bon Jovi’s music, but then tonight I did and that was through American Idol. Not that he’s going to be a favorite.. maybe just for now. Another sort of confession to make -tonight’s the first time I ever watched an American Idol show from start to finish. :) Where have I been all these years? I remember watching the rerun of the final show where this guy won… see I even can’t remember his name now! There goes my selective memory loss again. I know he also did a commecial for Toyota. Or maybe for some other car.
5 seasons later…Aileen discovered American Idol.
My favorites for tonight’s show: Lakisha’s "This Aint a Love Song," Blake’s "You Give Love a Bad Name," and Melinda’s "Have a Nice Day."
Rock on!

This Aint A Love Song
I should have seen it coming when roses died
Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes
I should have listened when you said good night
You really meant good bye
Baby, ain’t it funny, how you never ever learn to fall
You’re really on your knees, when you think you’re standing tall
But only fools are "know-it-alls" and I played that fool for you
I cried and I cried
There were nights that died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy, baby
If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river I cried ain’t that long
Then I’m wrong, yeah I’m wrong, this ain’t a love song
Baby, I thought you and me would stand the test of time
Like we got away with the perfect crime but
We were just a legend in my mind
I guess that I was blind
Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade
The clowns wore smiles that wouldn’t fade
You and I were the renegades, some things never change
It made me so mad ’cause I wanted it bad for us baby
Now it’s so sad that whatever we had, ain’t worth saving
If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river I’ve cried ain’t that long
Then I’m wrong, yes I’m wrong, this ain’t a love song
If the pain that I’m feeling so strong
Is the reason that I’m holding on
Then I’m wrong, yeah I’m wrong - this ain’t a love song
I cried and I cried
There were nights that I died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy
If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river I cried ain’t that long
Then I’m wrong, yeah I’m wrong - this ain’t no love song
If the pain that I’m feeling so strong
Is the reason that I’m holding on
Then I’m wrong, yeah I’m wrong - this ain’t a love song
If the pain that I’m feeling so strong
Is the reason that I’m holding on
Then I’m wrong, yeah I’m wrong - this ain’t a love song
Yes, I’m wrong, yeah, I’m wrong - this ain’t a love song
Yes, I’m wrong, yeah, I’m wrong - this ain’t a love song
Yes, I’m wrong, yeah, I’m wrong - this ain’t a love song
You Give Love a Bad Name
An angel’s smile is what you sell
you promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
when passion’s a prison, you can’t break free
You’re a loaded gun
There’s nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Chorus:
Shot through the heart
and you’re to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name
Paint your smile on your lips
blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy’s dream, you act so shy
You very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
You’re a loaded gun
There’s nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Have a Nice Day
why, you wanna tell me how to live my life?
who, are you to tell me if it’s black or white?
mama, can you hear me? try to understand.
is innocence the difference between a boy and a man.
my daddy lived the lie, it’s just the price that he paid.
sacrificed his life, just slavin’ away.
ohhh, if there’s one thing i hang onto,
it gets me through the night.
i aint gonna do what i don’t want to,
im gonna live my life.
shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
standing on the ledge, 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, look its what he sees.
we’re living in a broken home of hopes and dreams,
let me be the first to shake a helping hand.
everybody, pray enough to take a stand,
i knocked on every door, on every dead end street,
looking for forgiveness,
what’s left to believe?
ohhh, if there’s one thing i hang onto,
it gets me through the night.
i aint gonna do what i don’t want to,
im gonna live my life.
shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly.
when the world gets in my face,
i say, have a nice day.
have a nice day.

when the world gets in my face,
i say, have a nice day.
have a nice day.
have a nice day.
have a nice day.
have a nice day.
when the world keeps trying, to drag me down,
ive gotta raise my hands, gonna stand my ground.
well i say, have a nice day.
have a nice day
have a nice day
