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
`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 . . .
We`re half way there - 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
. . .
We`re half way there - Livin` on a prayer
. . .
We`re half way there - Livin` on a prayer
. . .
