"Thank You for Loving Me" is a song by Bon Jovi. Written by Jon
Bon Jovi; Diane Warren and RICHIE SAMBORA, it was released in 2000 as the third
single from their Grammy-nominated album Crush. Bryan Adams also did a version
of this song in 2003.
Bon Jovi is an American rock band from Sayreville, New Jersey. Formed in
1983, Bon Jovi consists of lead singer and namesake Jon Bon Jovi, pianist and
keyboardist David Bryan, drummer Tico Torres, lead guitarist Phil X, and
bassist Hugh McDonald. The band's lineup has remained mostly static during its
history, with the only exceptions being the 1994 dismissal of bass player Alec
John Such, who was unofficially replaced by Hugh McDonald, and the departure of
longtime guitarist and co-songwriter Richie Sambora in 2013. Phil X and
McDonald both became official members in 2016.
In 1986, Bon Jovi achieved widespread global recognition with their
third album, Slippery When Wet. The band's fourth album, New Jersey was equally
successful in 1988. After touring and recording non-stop during the late 1980s,
the band went on hiatus following the New Jersey Tour in 1990, during which
time Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora both released successful solo albums. In
1992, the band returned with the álbum Keep the Faith. Their 2000 single "It's
My Life", which followed a second hiatus, successfully introduced the band
to a younger audience. Bon Jovi have been known to use different styles in
their music, which has included country for their 2007 album Lost Highway.
It´s hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There´s no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
leave the world outside
All I´ve got to give to you
Are these five words and I
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn´t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn´t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky´s a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you´d make believe
That you believed my lies
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn´t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn´t breathe
Thank you for loving me
You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me
Lock the doors
leave the world outside
All I´ve got to give to you
Are these five words and I
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn´t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn´t breathe
Thank you for loving me
When I couldn´t fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips
When I couldn´t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Oh, for loving me.

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home
(Oh, won't you please take me home)
Just an urchin livin' under the street,
hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case,
so buy me somethin' to eat,
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line
Ragz to richez or
so they say,
ya gotta-keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
It's all a gamble when it's just a game,
ya treat
it like a capital crime
Everybody's doing their time
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home
Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
Tell me who you're gonna believe
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
So far away, so far away,
so far away, so far away
Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester with a broken heart
He said- turn me around and take me back to the start
I must be losin' my mind- "Are you blind?"
I've seen it all a million times
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
Home
Oh I wanna go, I wanna go,
oh won't you please take me home
I wanna see how good it can be
Oh won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh won't you please take me home
Take me down, lead me 'round
Oh won't you please take me home
I wanna see, what a woman can be
I want to take you home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh won't you please take me home
I wanna go, I wanna know
Oh won't you please take me home.

I must be invisible
No one knows me
I have crawled down dead-end streets
On my hands and knees
I was born with a ragin' thirst
A hunger to be free
But I've learned through the years
Don't encourage me
'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here
Well beyond my day
And I don't know what's goin' on
So I'll be on my way
When I walk, stay behind
Don't get close to me
'Cause it's sure to end in tears
So just let me be
Some will say that I'm no good
Maybe I agree
Take a look then walk away
That's all right with me
'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here
Well beyond my day
And I don't know what's goin' on
So I'll be on my way.

her BBC Radio 1 Maida Vale Studios session.
Call it Magic
Call it true
I call it magic
When I'm with you
And I just got broken
Broken into two
Still I call it magic
When I'm next to you
And I don't, and I don't
And I don't, and I don't
No, I don't, it's true
No I don't, No I don't
No I don't, No I don't
Want anybody else but you
No I don't, No I don't
No I don't, No I don't
No, I don't, it's true
No I don't, No I don't
No I don't, No I don't
Want anybody else but you
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Call it magic
Cut me into two
And with all your magic
I disappear from view
And I can't get over
Can't get over you
Still I call it magic
It's such a precious truth
And I don't and I don't and I don't and I don't
No, I don't it's true
I don't, no I don't, no I don't, no I don't
Want anybody else but you
I don't, no I don't, no I don't, no I don't
No, I don't it's true
I don't, no I don't, no I don't, no I don't
Want anybody else but you
Want to fall, fall so far
I want to fall, fall so hard
And I call it magic
And I call it true
I call it magic
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
And if you were to ask me
After all that we've been through
Still believe in magic
Oh yes I do
Oh yes I do
Yes I do
Oh yes I do
Of course I do.
