Livin’ on a Prayer Lyrics
[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
[Verse 2]
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]
Whoa, we're half-way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
[Verse 3]
Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in
What he used to make it talk
So tough, it's tough
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck
It's tough, so tough
[Verse 2]
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]
Whoa, we're half-way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
[Verse 3]
Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in
What he used to make it talk
So tough, it's tough
[Verse 4]
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]
Whoa, we're half-way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
Guita solo
[Bridge]
We've gotta hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
[Chorus]
Whoa, we're half-way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
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]
Whoa, we're half-way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
Guita solo
[Bridge]
We've gotta hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
[Chorus]
Whoa, we're half-way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
