| 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 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
|
| Oh, we're halfway there
|
| (Ohh, livin' on a prayer)
|
| Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
|
| (Ohh, livin' on a prayer)
|
| Tommy threw his six string in hock
|
| Now he's holding in what he used
|
| To make it talk so tough
|
| So tough
|
| Gina dreams of running away
|
| When she cries every 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
|
| Oh, we're halfway there
|
| (Ohh, livin' on a prayer)
|
| Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
|
| (Ohh, livin' on a prayer)
|
| We're livin' on a prayer
|
| We've got to hold on, ready or not
|
| You live for the fight when that's all that you've got
|
| Oh, we're halfway there
|
| (Ohh, livin' on a prayer)
|
| Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
|
| (Ohh, livin' on a prayer)
|
| Oh, we're halfway there
|
| (Ohh, livin' on a prayer)
|
| Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
|
| (Ohh, livin' on a prayer) |
