Once upon a time |
|
Not so long ago |
|
|
|
Tommy used to work on the docks |
|
The union went 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 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 |
|
|
|
Whoa, we're halfway there |
|
Oh, livin' on a prayer |
|
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear |
|
Oh, livin' on a prayer |
|
|
|
Tommy's doing his six string in hock |
|
Now he's holding in what he used |
|
To make it talk, so tough, so tough |
|
|
|
And Gina dreams of running away |
|
But she cries every 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, that's a lot |
|
For love, we'll give it a shot |
|
|
|
Whoa, we're halfway there |
|
Oh, livin' on a prayer |
|
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear |
|
Oh, livin' on a prayer, yeah |
|
We're livin' on a prayer |
|
|
|
We've gotta hold on, ready or not |
|
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got, whoa |
|
|
|
And I say whoa, we're halfway there |
|
Oh, livin' on a prayer |
|
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear |
|
Oh, livin' on a prayer |
|
|
|
You know, we're halfway there |
|
Oh, livin' on a prayer |
|
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear |
|
Oh, livin' on a prayer |
|
|
|
Oh yeah |
|
Oh yeah |
|
Oh, livin' on a prayer |
|
Oh yeah |
|
Whoa, livin' on a prayer |
|
Oh yeah, yeah |
|
|
|
Tommy used to work on the docks |
|
The union went on strike |
|
He's down on his luck, it's tough |
|
Hey Tommy, it's tough |
