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 at a diner all day Working for her man She brings home her pay For love, for love She says We've gotta 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 Oh, they're halfway there Oh, living on a prayer Take my hand We'll make it I swear Oh, living on a prayer Tommy's got his six-string in hock Now he's holding in when he used to make it talk So tough, it's tough Gina dreams of running away She cries in the night Tommy whispers 'baby it's okay, someday...' We've gotta 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 Oh, they're halfway there Oh, living on a prayer Take my hand We'll make it I swear Oh, living on a prayer Living on a prayer Oh, we've gotta hold on Ready or not You live for the fight When that's all that you've got Oh, they're halfway there Oh, living on a prayer Take my hand And we'll make it I swear Oh, living on a prayer [repeat to end]
