Once upon a time
Not so long
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
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
If we make it or not
We've got each other and
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
To make it talk - so tough' it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
We've got to hold on to what
'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
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand
Livin' on a prayer
We've got to hold
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
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
