[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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"

[Chorus]

Ohh, we're half way there

Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer

[Verse 2]

Tommy's got his six string in hock

Now he's holding in, when he used to make it talk

So tough, hmm, it's tough

Gina dreams of running away

When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers:

"Baby, it's okay," "Someday..."

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Ohh, we're half way there

Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer

Livin' on a prayer

[Bridge]

Ooh, we've got to hold on, ready or not

You live for the fight when that's all that you've got

[Chorus]

Ohh, we're half way there

Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer

Ohh, we're half way there

Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer

Livin' on a prayer, yeah...
