This Is Love, This Is Life (full song with lyrics)

After "No Apologies" was released a couple of days ago, "This Is Love, This Is Life" is now streaming on BonJovi.com.

Lyrics according to my ears:

These days what's left of me ain't no Prince Charming
And my Cinderella feels like she stayed at the dance too long
We ain't got much but what we got is all that matters
We're pickin' up the pieces, tryin' to put 'em back where they belong

Ohh, it's gonna be alright
This is love, this is life
When times get tough we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the brokenhearted
We gotta finish what we started
Ohhh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life

These days it seems like there's three sides to every story
There's yours, mine, lately there's the cold hard truth
Who cares who's wrong or right when we turn out the lights?
We'll find forgiveness when we're in each other's arms tonight
It ain't pretty but somehow we always make it through

Ohh, it's gonna be alright
This is love, this is life
When times get tough we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the brokenhearted
We gotta finish what we started
Ohhh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life

Ohh, it's gonna be alright
This is love, this is life
When times get tough we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the brokenhearted
We gotta finish what we started
Ohhh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life
This is love, this is life
This is love, this is life

So what do you think? I like it but they seem to be stacking on the effects on these new songs, so I'm not sure how it's all going to come across live.

"The More Things Change" was accidentally released earlier tonight; I heard it once before it was taken down, and the effects are all over that song too. I will also say that it cracked me up in the way a Meat Loaf song typically might (which is not necessarily a bad thing, given Bat Out of Hell is actually one of my favourite albums). I did like "The More Things Change" based on that solitary listen, but the lyrics seemed rather ironic or self-deprecating. So I'm hoping Jon and whoever else wrote the song were consciously taking the mickey out of themselves. ;)
