Rewrite of Bon Jovi's It's My Life

This ain't right
Your wrong is leaving me brokenhearted
From you soon, baby
If you don't shape up
I'll be dearly departed
I don't wanna be just another face
In your crowd
I want my voice and my love for you
To be able to be
Shouted out loud

Tell your wife
It's now or never
This affair can't stay hidden forever
In public
I just want our love to live
While we're alive

Tell your wife
Don't leave my heart
Bleeding like this
Out on the open highway
Baby, this lie is only gettin' in our way
In public
I just want our love to live
While we're alive

This time I won't back down
Gonna stand my ground
Loving you just keeps getting harder
Make no mistake
Honey, I've had enough
With her and the kids
You've got to start makin' those breaks

Tell your wife
It's now or never
This affair can't stay hidden forever
In public
I just want our love to live
While we're alive

Tell your wife
Don't leave my heart
Bleeding like this
Out on the open highway
Baby, this lie is only gettin' in our way
In public
I just want our love to live
While we're alive

Better tell no tall tale
When I'm callin' you out
Cause this time
To all your false promises
I won't bend
Baby, I won't break
I won't back down

Tell your wife
It's now or never
This affair can't stay hidden forever
In public
I just want our love to live
While we're alive

Tell your wife
Don't leave my heart
Bleeding like this
Out on the open highway
Baby, this lie is only gettin' in our way
In public
I just want our love to live
While we're alive
Tell your wife!
