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
Workin' for her man
She brings home her pay
For love oo for love
She says we've gotta 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 halfway 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 holdin' in
What he used to make it talk
So tough
Oo it's tough
Gina dreams of runnin' away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers
Baby it's okay someday
We've gotta 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 halfway 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
Oo we've gotta hold on
Ready or not
You live for the fight
When it's all that you've got
Wo
We're halfway there
Wo oh
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand
And we'll make it I swear
Wo oh
Livin' on a prayer
Wo
We're halfway there
Wo oh
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand
And we'll make it I swear
Wo oh
Livin' on a prayer
