Novocaine Lyrics - Bon Jovi

1 You can take back all your secrets

2 We'll divide up all the lies

3 Keep all the pictures in their frames

4 Cut me out, yeah, I'll be fine

5 Tell the neighbors all my feelings

6 Go on and give away my pride

7 It's hard to laugh and cry, live and die, every night

8 Keep your Rolodex of friends

9 And all the remnants can be mine

10 I guess there'll be no happy endings

11 When "once upon" is doing time

12 There's a different kind of meaning now

13 To livin' on a prayer

14 Some don't seem to notice

15 And the rest don't seem to care

16 I tell myself I (feel no pain)

17 But I'm feeling the pain (walk away)

18 Can't walk away

19 I'm hanging on the ropes of hope

20 It's getting hard to cope you know

21 When you're the needle running through my veins

22 I've changed my name to Novocaine

23 You put my favorite belongings in a box in the garage (let's get this straight)

24 Burned my favorite sweats from high school

25 Tried to sell my muscle car (that's not okay)

26 Your mother's gonna visit for a couple months this year

27 They say you do the crime, do the time, it's all so clear

28 I tell myself I (feel no pain)

29 But I'm feeling the pain (walk away)

30 Can't walk away

31 I'm hanging on the ropes of hope

32 It's getting hard to cope you know

33 When you're the needle that's running through my veins

34 I've changed my name to Novocaine (feel no pain)

35 Novocaine

36 Well things ain't what they used to be

37 It's a sleepless, self-help century

38 Man, I'm up to here with Dr. Phil and the modern man in me

39 I tell myself to feel no pain

40 But I'm feeling the pain (walk away)

41 Can't walk away

42 I'm hanging on the ropes of hope

43 It's getting hard to cope you know

44 When you're the needle that's running through my veins

45 I've changed my name to Novocaine (feel no pain)

46 Novocaine

47 Novocaine (feel no pain)

48 Novocaine

49 I feel no pain

50 [spoken:]

51 It's okay, you're a 21st century man

52 This is a 21st century land

53 You gotta get in touch with your inner-self

54 The feminine side

55 That's all they really wanted, right?

56 I understand

57 Maybe what I gotta do is understand

58 I..who she...I don't... I never understood anything to begin with
