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 |
|
Its 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 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 thats a lot |
|
For love ... we'll give it a shot |
|
We're halfway 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 |
|
She cries in the nightime, 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 thats a lot |
|
For love ... we'll give it a shot |
|
We're halfway there |
|
Livin' on a prayer |
|
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear |
|
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 halfway there |
|
Livin' on a prayer |
|
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear |
|
Livin' on a prayer ... |
