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
oh~We`re half way there oh~ Livin` on a prayer
Take my hand and we`ll make it - I swear
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, it`s tough Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night Tommy whispers Baby it`s okay, some~day 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
oh~ We`re half way there oh~ Livin` on a prayer
Take my hand and we`ll make it - I swear
oh~ Livin` on a prayer (living 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
oh~ We`re half way there oh~ Livin` on a prayer
Take my hand and we`ll make it - I swear
oh~ Livin` on a prayer
oh~ We`re half way there oh~ Livin` on a prayer
Take my hand and we`ll make it - I swear
oh~ Livin` on a prayer
