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, mmm 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
Whoah livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoah livin' 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, mmm 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
Whoah livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoah livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer

We've got to hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got

Whoah, we're half way there
Whoah livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoah livin' on a prayer

Whoah, we're half way there
Whoah livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoah livin' on a prayer

Whoah, we're half way there
Whoah livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoah livin' on a prayer
