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 at diner all day
Working for her man
She brings home her pay for love
For love
She says: We've gotta 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
Wooah
We're half way there
Woah-oh
Living on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Woah-oh
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
It's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
Baby it's okay
Someday
We've gotta 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
Wooah
We're half way there
Woah-oh
Living on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Woah-oh
Living on a prayer
Living on a prayer!
We've gotta hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Wooah
We're half way there
Woah-oh
Living on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Woah-oh
Living on a prayer
Wooah
We're half way there
Woah-oh
Living on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Woah-oh
Living on a prayer
Wooah
We're half way there
Woah-oh
Living on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Woah-oh
Living on a prayer
