Lyrics

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
