ohooh oh ohooh oh ohooh oh ooh oh
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 that 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.
ooh oh
We're half way there ah ha haaa
Livin' on a prayer,
Take my hand, we'll make it - I swear ah ha haaa
Livin' on a prayer.
Tommy got his six string in the 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 that 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.
oooh oh
We're half way there,ha haa
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand,we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer, living 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. hoooo oh
We're half way there, wah haaa
Livin' on a prayer,
Take my hand, we'll make it - I swear wa haaa
Livin' on a prayer.

We're half way there, wah haaa
Livin' on a prayer,
Take my hand, we'll make it - I swear wa haaa
Livin' on a prayer.
