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

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

Whoa, we're halfway there

Oh-oh, living on a prayer

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

Oh-oh, living on a prayer

Tommy's 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

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

Whoa, we're halfway there

Oh-oh, living on a prayer

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

Oh-oh, living on a prayer

Living on a prayer

Ooh, we've got to hold on, ready or not

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

Whoa, we're halfway there

Oh-oh, living on a prayer

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

Oh-oh, living on a prayer

Whoa, we're halfway there

Oh-oh, living on a prayer

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

Oh-oh, living on a prayer

Whoa, we're halfway there

Oh-oh, living on a prayer

Take my hand
