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
Cause 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
We re half way there
Livin on a prayer
Take my hand and we ll make it - I swear
Livin on a prayer
Tommy 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
Cause 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
We re half way there
Livin on a prayer
Take my hand and we ll make it - I swear
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
We re half way there
Livin on a prayer
Take my hand and we ll make it - I swear
Livin on a prayer
We re half way there
Livin on a prayer
Take my hand and we ll make it - I swear
Livin on a prayer
We re half way there
Livin on a prayer
Take my hand and we ll make it - I swear
Livin on a prayer
