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 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
Oh, we´re halfway there (Ohh, livin´ on a prayer) Take my hand, we´ll make it I swear (Ohh, livin´ on a prayer)
Tommy threw his six string in hock
Now he´s holding in what he used To make it talk so tough So tough Gina dreams of running away When she cries every 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
Oh, we´re halfway there (Ohh, livin´ on a prayer) Take my hand, we´ll make it I swear (Ohh, livin´ on a prayer) We´re livin´ on a prayer
We´ve got to hold on, ready or not You live for the fight when that´s all that you´ve got
Oh, we´re halfway there (Ohh, livin´ on a prayer) Take my hand, we´ll make it I swear (Ohh, livin´ on a prayer)
Oh, we´re halfway there (Ohh, livin´ on a prayer) Take my hand, we´ll make it I swear (Ohh, livin´ on a prayer)
