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 |
|
Oh, 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 of or not |
|
We've got each other and that's a lot for love |
|
We'll give it a shout |
|
Oh, half way there |
|
How living on a prayer |
|
Take my hand and we'll make it |
|
I swear |
|
Living on a prayer |
|
Tommy got his six string in hock |
|
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk |
|
So tough, Oh, it's tough |
|
Gina dreams of running away |
|
She cries in the night |
|
Tommy whispers, baby it's ok |
|
Someday, we've got to hold on to what we've got |
|
We've got to hold on ready or not |
|
You live for the fight |
|
When it's all that you've got |
