Rumour has it that your daddy's coming down
He's gonna pay the rent
Tell me babe, is this as good as life is gonna get
It feels like there's a stranger who's standing in these shoes
But, I know I can't lose me, cos then I'd be losing you
I know I promised baby
I would be the one to make our dreams come true
I ain't too proud of all the struggles and the hard times we've been through
When this cold world comes between us
Please tell me you'll be brave
Cos I can realize the danger when forgiveness fades away
If you don't love me - lie to me
Cos baby you're the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be
Right now if you don't love me baby - lie to me
Pour another cup of coffee, babe I got something to say to you
But I ain't got the winning ticket
Not the one that's gonna pull us through
No one said that it'd be easy, let your old man take you home
But know if you walk out on me
That darling, I'd be gone
If you don't love me - lie to me
'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be
Right now if you can't love me baby - lie to me
Baby - I can take it
It's a bitch, yeah life's a roller coaster ride
The ups and downs will make you scream sometimes
It's hard believing that the thrill is gone
But we got to go around again, so let's hold on
If you don't love me - lie to me
'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be
Right now if you can't love me baby - lie to me, go on lie to me
Baby I can take it
C'mon lie to me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Go on, lie to me
Go on, lie to me
Lie to me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I have to say this is one of my favorite Bon Jovi songs. It's about holding onto something even though your life is heading down the crapper. If you don't love me lie to me - just tell me you love me cause that's what I need. It's a bitch, yeah life's a roller coaster ride The ups and downs will make you scream sometimes It's hard believing that the thrill is gone But we got to go around again, so let's hold on
what a verse
yeh, i completley agree, its a brilliant song, and always good live too! they kick ass!
It's all about hangin' n believing to something what makes us keep alive.... love coaster's ride?? been through there... but still alive n kickin' Thanks to the song
One of the sadder Bon Jovi songs, and one of their best as well.
Its a break-up song and how the girl wants nothing more to do with the guy. But the guy still is in love with her. He believes there's hope in their relationship as long as she believes in him.
very beautiful and deep meaning song
