Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer Lyrics

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
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

Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whoa 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
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

Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whoa livin' on a prayer, 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

Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whoa livin' on a prayer

Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whoa livin' on a prayer

Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
