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
His love
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
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand
And we'll make it
I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Baby
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
Baby
It's okay'
It's okay
Someday
She said 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
You can't be there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand
And we'll make it
I swear
Livin' on a prayer
We've got to prey
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
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it
I swear
Livin' on a prayer
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it
I swear
Baby I'm prayer
