"Livin' On A Prayer" lyrics

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
Mm, 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 got each other, and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot"

Oh, we're halfway there
Oh-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Oh-oh, livin' on a prayer

Tommy's got his six-string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk
So tough
Mm, it's tough

Gina dreams of running away
She cries in the 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 got each other, and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot

Oh, we're halfway there
Oh-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Oh-oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer

Ooh, we gotta hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got

Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer

Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer

Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh
