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

Workin' for her man

She brings home her pay for love

Mmm, 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

Whoa, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand

We'll make it, I swear

Whoa, livin' on a prayer

Tommy's got his six string in hock

Now he's holdin' in when he used to make it talk so tough

Mmm, 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, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand

We'll make it, I swear

Whoa, livin' on a prayer

Livin' on a prayer

Ooh, we gotta hold on, ready or not

You live for the fight when that's all that you've got

Whoa, we're halfway there

Whoa, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand

And we'll make it, I swear

Whoa, livin' on a prayer

Whoa, we're halfway there

Whoa, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand

And we'll make it, I swear

Whoa, livin' on a prayer

Whoa, we're halfway there

Whoa, livin' on a prayer
