First, I am a huge Bon Jovi fan. Second, I love this cd, when i heard this song I thought it was just a love song...now as I read the lyrics it becomes clear to me that it's really about his daughter, Stephanie. The lines "If I was a holy man I'd get down on my knees
So the angels that watch over her would give a break to me
Holy Mother of saint bubble gum and Sister band-aid knees
Won't you please pray for the ones like me
But the truth is someday
Somebody is gonna take her from me
But the queen of hearts will always be
A five-year-old princess to me (to me)"
--The mother of bubblegum and sister band aid knee is a kid reference, and about him on his knees begging is him begging and wanting a little girl. And i hope I don't have to explain the five-year-old princess thing, that should be obvious. It just all makes sense.
