Tommy used to work on the docks

Union's been on strike

He's down on his luck it's tough

Oh so tough

Gina works the diner all day

Working for her man

She brings home her pay for love

Oh 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

Och we're half way there

Oh oh livin' on a prayer

Take my hand we'll make it I swear

Oh oh livin' on a prayer

Tommy's got his six string in hock

Now he's holding in

When he used to make it talk

So tough ooh so tough

Gina dreams of running away

When she cries in the night

Tommy whispers

Baby it's okay

Someday

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

Och we're half way there

Oh oh livin' on a prayer

Take my hand we'll make it I swear

Oh oh livin' on a prayer livin' on a prayer

Ooh we've got to hold on ready or not

We live for the fight when it's all that we've got

Och we're half way there

Och livin' on a prayer

Take my hand we'll make it I swear

Och livin' on a prayer

Och we're half way there

Och livin' on a prayer

Take my hand we'll make it I swear

Och livin' on a prayer

Livin' on a prayer
