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 Mmm, 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
Whooooa, we're halfway there Whooooa-oh, livin' on a prayer Take my hand, we'll make it I swear Whooooa-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 Mmm, it's tough Gina dreams of running away She cries in the 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
Whooooa, we're halfway there Whooooa-oh, livin' on a prayer Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear Whooooa-oh, livin' on a prayer Livin' on a prayer!
We got to 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
