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
