Lyrics

Ooh, ooh
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
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
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
Tommy's got his six-string in hock
Now he's holding in when he used to make it talk
So tough, mm, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
Baby, it's okay, mm, 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
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, and we'll make it, I swear
Oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer, whoa
Ooh, we've got to hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when it'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
Take my hand, and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
