| Once upon a time. |
| Not so long ago. |
| 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 — for love. |
| She says we’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got.
|
| Cause 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. |
| Whooah, we’re half way there. |
| Whooah livin’on a prayer. |
| Take my hand and
|
| we’ll make it — I swear. |
| Whooah 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, it’s tough. |
| Gina dreams of running away.
|
| When she cries in the
|
| night. |
| Tommy whispers baby it’s okay, someday. |
| We’ve got to hold on to what
|
| we’ve got. |
| Cause 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. |
| Whooah, we’re half way there. |
| Whooah livin’on a prayer.
|
| Take my hand and we’ll
|
| make it — I swear. |
| Whooah livin’on a prayer. |
| We’ve got to hold on to what we’ve
|
| got. |
| Cause 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. |
| Whooah, we’re half way there. |
| Whooah livin’on a prayer.
|
| Take my hand and we’ll make it — I swear. |
| Whooah livin’on a prayer. |
| Whooah, we’re half way there. |
| Whooah livin’on a prayer. |
| Take my hand
|
| and we’ll make it — I swear. |
| Whooah livin’on a prayer. |
| We’ve got to hold on ready or not. |
| You live
|
| for the fight when it’s all that you’ve got. |
