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, mmm 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 half way there oh livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Oh 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, mmm 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
Oh, we're half way there oh livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Oh livin' on a prayer livin' on a prayer
Ooh we've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Oh, we're half way there oh livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear oh livin' on a prayer
Oh, we're half way there oh livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Oh livin' on a prayer
