Livin' On A Prayer

Once upon a time 

Not so long ago 

Tommy used to work on the docks 

Union's been on strike 

He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough 

Gina works the diner all day 

Working for her man, she brings home her pay 

For love - for love 



She says: We've got to hold on to what we've got 

'Cause it doesn't make a difference 

If we make it or not 

We've got each other and that's a lot 

For love - we'll give it a shot 



We're half way there 

Livin' on a prayer 

Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear 

Livin' on a prayer 



Tommy got his six string in hock 

Now he's holding in what he used 

To make it talk - so tough, it's tough 

Gina dreams of running away 

When she cries in the night 

Tommy whispers: Baby it's okay, someday 



We've got to hold on to what we've got 

'Cause it doesn't make a difference 

If we make it or not 

We've got each other and that's a lot 

For love - we'll give it a shot 



We're half way there 

Livin' on a prayer 

Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear 

Livin' on a prayer 



We've got to hold on ready or not 

You live for the fight when it's all that you've got 



We're half way there 

Livin' on a prayer 

Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear 

Livin' on a prayer
