In 1984 and 1985, Bon Jovi released their first two albums and their debut single "Runaway" managed to crack the Top 40. In 1986, the band achieved widespread success and global recognition with their third album, Slippery When Wet, which sold over 20 million copies and included three Top 10 singles, two of which reached No. 1 ("You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Livin' on a Prayer") Their fourth album, New Jersey (1988), was also very successful, selling over 10 million copies and featuring five Top 10 singles (a record for a glam metal album), two of which reached No. 1 ("Bad Medicine" and "I'll Be There for You"). After the band toured and recorded extensively during the late 1980s, culminating in the 1988–1990 New Jersey Tour, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora released successful solo albums in 1990 and 1991, respectively.
In 1992, the band returned with the double-platinum Keep the Faith. This was followed by their biggest-selling and longest-charting single "Always" (1994) and the album These Days (1995), which proved to be a bigger success in Europe than in the United States, producing four Top Ten singles in the United Kingdom. Following a second hiatus, their 2000 album Crush, particularly the lead single, "It's My Life", successfully introduced the band to a younger audience, and the band considered this their comeback album. The band followed up with Bounce in 2002. The platinum albums Have a Nice Day (2005) and Lost Highway (2007) saw the band incorporate elements of country music into some of the songs, including the 2006 single "Who Says You Can't Go Home", which won the band a Grammy Award and became the first single by a rock band to reach No. 1 on the country charts. The Circle (2009) marked a return to the band's rock sound. The band also enjoyed great success touring, with both the 2005–2006 Have a Nice Day Tour and 2007–2008 Lost Highway Tour ranking among the Top 20 highest-grossing concert tours of the 2000s. After recording and releasing Because We Can in 2013, lead guitarist Richie Sambora left the band just before an April concert during the supporting tour to spend more time with his family. The band released their first studio album without Sambora, Burning Bridges, in 2015 and the follow-up album This House Is Not for Sale in 2016, the tour for which encompassed 2017–2019. Their most recent album 2020 (2020) was re-worked to include songs inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic and George Floyd protests; its supporting tour was delayed to 2022.
Bon Jovi consisting of frontman Jon Bon Jovi, drummer Tico Torres, keyboardist David Bryan, lead guitarist Phil X, bassist Hugh McDonald and guitarist John Shanks have unveiled a video for the lead single “Legendary” from their upcoming studio album Forever, which will be released on June 7, 2024. Forever is the follow up to Bon Jovi‘s studio album 2020, which was released back on October 2, 2020.
Bon Jovi has released 15 studio albums, five compilations and three live albums. They have sold more than 120 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling American rock bands, and performed more than 2,700 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 34 million fans. Bon Jovi was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. The band received the Award of Merit at the American Music Awards in 2004, and Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora were inducted into Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2009.

Lie to Me
Bon Jovi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's gonna pay the rent
Tell me baby, is this as good as life is gonna get
It feels like there is a stranger standing in these shoes
But, I know I can't lose me, 'cause then I'd be losing you
I know I promised baby
I would be the one to make our dreams come true
And the hard times we've been through
When this cold world comes between us
Please tell me you'll be brave
'Cause I can realize the danger when forgiveness fades away
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 don't love me baby, lie to me
Pour another cup of coffee, babe I got something to say to you
I ain't got the winning ticket
Not the one that's gonna pull us through
No one said 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, but 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, lie to me
Baby I can take it
The lyrics of Bon Jovi's song "Lie To Me" talk about a couple that is going through a difficult time in their relationship. The singer is expressing his doubts and fears about the future. He states that he feels like he is walking in someone else's shoes, possibly because of the strain that the financial struggles are putting on their lives. The arrival of the girl's father, who is there to pay the rent, is only a temporary solution to their financial problems. The singer is afraid that this is as good as their life is going to get, and that there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
The singer of the song admits that he is not proud of the struggles and hard times they have been through, but despite all that, he is still willing to fight for their relationship. He asks the girl to be brave and stay with him even when the world seems to be against them. He acknowledges that forgiveness can fade away, so he would rather the girl lie to him if she doesn't love him. He would rather have a false sense of security than be left alone. In the end, the singer is asking for the girl's honesty and promising that he can handle the truth, no matter how bitter it may be.
Line by Line Meaning
Rumour has it that your daddy's coming down
Word on the street is that your father is coming to help pay for rent
He's gonna pay the rent
He'll be paying for the rent that we can't afford
Tell me baby, is this as good as life is gonna get
Do you think this is the best life has to offer?
It feels like there is a stranger standing in these shoes
I feel like I'm not myself right now
But, I know I can't lose me, 'cause then I'd be losing you
I can't lose sight of who I am, because then I'd lose you too
I know I promised baby
I remember the promises I made to you
I would be the one to make our dreams come true
I would be the one to help make our dreams a reality
I ain't too proud of all the struggles
I'm not proud of the hardships we've faced
And the hard times we've been through
And the difficult moments we had to endure
When this cold world comes between us
When the harsh reality of the world puts distance between us
Please tell me you'll be brave
Please assure me that you'll be courageous enough to get through it with me
'Cause I can realize the danger when forgiveness fades away
I understand the potential danger when we lose our ability to forgive each other
If you don't love me, lie to me
If you don't actually have feelings for me, pretend like you do
'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe
Because you're the one thing that I hold onto and trust in
Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be
If our relationship is to crumble, let it happen
Right now if you don't love me baby, lie to me
If you're not feeling affectionate towards me at this moment, pretend like you are
Pour another cup of coffee, babe I got something to say to you
Let’s sit down with a cup of coffee, I have something important to say
I ain't got the winning ticket
I don't have a guaranteed solution to fix our problems
Not the one that's gonna pull us through
I don't have the answer to save us
No one said it'd be easy, let your old man take you home
No one ever said it would be simple. Let me take you home and comfort you.
But know if you walk out on me
But be aware that if you leave me
That darling, I'd be gone
I would leave too
Baby, I can take it
Don't worry, I can handle it
It's a bitch, but life's a roller coaster ride
Life is difficult, but it's like a roller coaster with lots of ups and downs
The ups and downs will make you scream sometimes
Sometimes, the ups and downs are so intense that it's painful
It's hard believing that the thrill is gone
It's difficult to accept that things aren't as thrilling as before
But we got to go around again, so let's hold on
But we have to try again, so let's hold on and go for it once more
Right now if you can't love me baby, lie to me, lie to me
If you're incapable of loving me at this moment, just pretend like you do, pretend like you do
Baby I can take it
Don't worry, I can handle it.

@faiz7180
This is a very underrated ballad from Bon Jovi. It's like listening to how desperate someone is and how they slowly losing themselves at the end. That outro where Jon's belts out all those ad-libs is just phenomenal.

My favourite song of all time from Bon Jovi. And video was something when i was 15. That moment he touches her... Mmmm...
