Living On A Prayer

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
'Cause 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.


We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer


Take my hand and we'll make it
I swear - 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
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 . . .
We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer
. . .


We've got to hold on ready or not


You live for the fight when it's all that you've got.


We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer
. . .
We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer
. . .
We're half way there - Livin' on a prayer
