LIVIN' ON A PRAYER  
----------------------------------------------------------


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/oleit's tough, so tough 
Gina works the diner all day 
Working for her man, she brings hom her pay 
For love - for love 

She says: We've got to hold on to what we've got 
'Cause 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 and we'll make it - I swear 
Livin' on a prayer 

Tommy 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 
'Cause 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 and we'll make it - I swear 
Livin' 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 
We're half way there 
Livin' on a prayer 
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear 
Livin' on a prayer
