Once upon a time not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
The union's been on strike, he's down on his luck
Iit's tough, oh so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love (for love), oh 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 (for love), we'll give it a shot
Whooaaaaaa, we're half way there
Whooooaaaa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, and we'll make it I swear
Whooaaaa, 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, oh it's tough
Gina dreams of running away, she cries in the nighttime
Baby it's okay, oh someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not (make it or not)
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love (for love), we'll give it a shot
Whooaaaaaa, we're half way there
Whooooaaaa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, and we'll make it I swear
Whooaaaa, livin' on a prayer, livin' on a prayer
Shot through the heart, and you're to blame
Darling, you give love a bad name (bad name)
I play my part, and you play your game
You give love a bad name
Oh we've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got
Whooaaaaaa, we're half way there
Whooooaaaa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, and we'll make it I swear
Whooaaaa, livin' on a prayer, livin' on a prayer
(Repeat)
