Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
Now Gina works the diner all day, working for her man
She brings home her pay for love
She doesn't all for love
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
Woah, we're halfway there
Livin' on a prayer
We'll make it, I swear
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, ooh, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away when she cries in the night
He whispers, "It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay"
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
Woah, we're halfway there
Livin' on a prayer
We'll make it, I swear
Livin' on a prayer
We've got to hold on, ready or not
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Woah, we're halfway there
Livin' on a prayer
We'll make it, I swear
We just livin' on a prayer
Say woah, we're almost there
And we're livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Livin' on a prayer
