Bon Jovi is a Rock band from New Jersey. Following the release of their first single, Runaway, in 1983 and their self titled debut album in 1984, they quickly earned the attention of the record-buying public who sent subsequent efforts like NEW JERSEY and SLIPPERY WHEN WET to multi-platinum status. They have since sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, played live to hundreds of thousands of fans over 8 world tours and across 2 decades, won an impressive collection of awards and produced 9 studio albums, 4 compilation/live albums and various solo albums and DVDs. Bon Jovi has sometimes been classified as Hair Metal — sometimes even regarded as the form's prime shapers — but have proved much more durable than most groups so labelled. It has been a band which inspired many of today's bands, spending years perfecting a style of timeless rock and also inspiring & opening the popular "Unplugged" series of MTV programs.

Bitter Wine Lyrics
Bon Jovi
We met some time ago, when we were almost young
It never crossed my mind to ask, where did you come from?
I didnt have much money, so I stole you a rose
You were dressed like an orphan, in salvation army clothes
Once you were my inspiration, but, that rivers run dry
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
I know I wasnt funny, but you laughed at all my jokes
When I was chaking on the words to say
You shoved your finger down my throat
The first night I said I loved you, you told me to go to hell
You were giving he head, on that creeky
Old bed at the olduvol motel
Once you were my inspiration, but, that rivers run dry
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
Once you were my inspiration, but, that rivers run dry
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
I would drink of your river, it would always get me high
What was once my salvation, now tastes like bitter wine
I never thought Id love ya, no - Id rather go blind
I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied
I guess she lied
Just like everything, even good love has to die
Aint no sympathy when it waves goodbye, no one even cried
We were one of a kind
I would drink of your river, it would always get me high
What was once my salvation, now tastes like bitter wine
I never thought Id love ya, no - Id rather go blind
I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied
I guess she lied
