Once upon a time Not so long ago Tommy used to work on the docks Union's been on strike He's down 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 we make it or not We've got each other and that's a lot For love we'll give it a shot
Ohh We're half way there Woah Livin' on a prayer Take my hand we'll make it - I swear Livin' on a prayer
Tommy's 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 cries in the night Tommy whispers: Baby it's okay, someday
We've got to 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 love - we'll give it a shot
Ohh We're half way there Woah Livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear Livin' on a prayer Livin' on a prayer
got to hold on ready or not You live for the fight when thats all that you've got
Ohh half way there Woah Livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear Woah Livin' on a prayer
