We are to find artists that have a birthday in March. I chose one of my favorite singers of a favorite band – Bret Michaels, of Poison. His birthday Is March 15 (1962)
Back in the late 80s early 90s their videos were played on MTV all the time. I bought all their album cassettes and also a video of all their songs and could sing along to every one of them. It’s good to go back and listen to some good time songs! 🙂

We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that’s why they say
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
I listen to her favorite song
Playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and
Easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you’d be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow I guess
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Though it’s been a while now
I could still feel so much pain
Like the knife that cuts you the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains
I know I could have saved a love that night
If I’d known what to say
Instead of makin’ love
We both made our separate ways
And now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife I guess
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Woo, mm, yeah
Ooh, yow
Woo
Yeah
Now listen
Not a dime, I can’t pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night, I’d like to make my girl
But right now, I can’t make ends meet, no
I’m always workin’, slavin’ every day
Gotta get a break from the same old, same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think, this is what I’d say
Don’t need nothin’ but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ but a good time
And it don’t get better than this
Say I spend my money on women and wine
But I couldn’t tell you where I spent last night
I’m real sorry ’bout the shape I’m in
I just like my fun every now and then
I’m always workin’, slavin’ every day
Gotta get a break from the same old, same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think, this is what I’d say
Don’t need nothin’ but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ but a good time
And it don’t get better than this
You see, I
I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breakin’ our backs every day
If wanting a good life is such a crime
Lord, then, put me away, yeah, here’s to ya
Mm, guitar
Don’t need nothin’ but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ but a good time
And it don’t get better than this
Don’t need nothin’ but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ but a good time
And it don’t get better than this
It don’t get better, baby
