Once upon a time, not so long ago.
Tommy used to work on the docks,
Unions been on strike, hes down on his luck....
Its tough, so tough.
Gina works the diner all day,
Working for her man, she brings home her pay,
For love - for love.
She says: weve got to hold on to that weve got,
cause it doesnt make a difference, if we make it or not,
Weve got each other and that
a lot for love - well give it a shot.
Were half way there,
Livin on a prayer,
Take my hand and well make it - i swear,
Livin on a prayer.
Tommy got his six string in hock
Now hes holding in what he used to make it talk
- so tough, its tough.
Gina dreams of running away,
When she cries in the night, tommy whispers:
baby its okay, someday.
Weve got to hold on to that weve got,
cause it doesnt make a difference,
If we make it or not,
Weve got each other and thats a lot for love -
well give it a shot.
Were half way there,
Livin on a prayer,
Take my hand and well make it - i swear,
Livin on a prayer.
Weve got to hold on ready or not,
You live for the fight when its all that youve got.
Were half way there,
Livin on a prayer,
Take my hand and well make it - i swear,
Livin on a prayer.
