Lyrics

[Intro] Once upon a time, not so long ago [Verse 1] Tommy used to work on the docks Union went on strike, he's down on his luck It's tough So tough Gina works the diner all day Workin' for her man, she brings home her pay For love Ooh, for love [Pre-Chorus] She say, "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, that's a lot for love You give it a shot" [Chorus] Oh, we're halfway there Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer Yеah [Verse 2] Tommy's threw his six-string in hock Well he's holdin' in, whеn he used to make it talk So tough So tough Gina dreams of runnin' away When she cries every night, Tommy whispers "Baby, it's okay Someday" [Pre-Chorus] 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, that's a lot for love We'll give it a shot [Chorus] Oh, we're halfway there Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer Livin' on a prayer [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] We've gotta hold on, ready or not You live for the fight when that's all that you've got [Chorus] Woah, we're halfway there Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer Woah, we're halfway there Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer [Instrumental Outro]
