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 the man,
she brings home her pay for love
she brings home her pay for love
he kown 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 thats a lot
for love -for love
oh we're half way there
oh livin'on a prayer
take my hand and well make it i swear
oh 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
used to make it talk so tough
gina dreams of running away
when she cries in the night
tommy whispers:it's ok it's ok
baby it's ok
say 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
let's give it a shot
oh we're half way there
oh livin'on a prayer
take my hand and we'll make it i swear
oh livin'on a prayer
hold on
we've got to hold on ready or not
you're live for the fight when it's all that you've got
oh we're half way there
livin'on a prayer
take my hand and well make it i swear
oh …livin'on a prayer
take my hand
make it i swear
take my hand
i take your hand
