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 |
|
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" |
|
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 |
|
Tommy got his six string in hock |
|
Now he's holdin' 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 |
|
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 |
|
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, livin' on a prayer |
|
Ooh, we've got to hold on, ready or not |
|
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
