Lyrics
Once upon a time, not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Unions been on strike, he's down on his luck, it's tough
Oh, 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 got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, 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
Oh, so tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers, "Baby it's okay, someday"
We got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer, livin' on a prayer
Yeah, we got to hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer, livin' on a prayer
