Livin' On A Prayer Lyrics - Singles - Philmore

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, workin' 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" 

We're half way there, livin' on a prayer, take my hand 

We'll make it, I swear, livin' on a prayer 

Tommy's got his six string in hock, now he's holdin' in 

What he used to make it talk, so tough, so tough 

Gina dreams of runnin' 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 

We're half way there, livin' on a prayer, take my hand 

We'll make it, I swear, 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 

We're half way there, livin' on a prayer, take my hand 

We'll make it, I swear, livin' on a prayer 

We're half way there, livin' on a prayer, take my hand 

We'll make it, I swear, livin' on a prayer 

We're half way there, livin' on a prayer, take my hand 

We'll make it, I swear, livin' on a prayer 

We're half way there, livin' on a prayer, take my hand 

We'll make it, I swear, livin' on a prayer
