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 ooh 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
Oh we're half way there
Woah oh Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it
I swear Woah oh Livin' on a prayer
Tommy got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk 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
Oh we're half way there
Woah oh Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Woah oh Livin' on a prayer 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
Oh we're half way there
Woah oh Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand we'll make it I swear
Woah oh Livin' on a prayer
