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

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand- we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! 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
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

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand- we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer
Livin´on a prayer

Solo

Oooooooh
We´ve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when that´s all that you´ve got

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer

Whooaaaaaa! We´re half way there
Whooooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it - I swear
Whooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer
