Livin' on a Prayer (live) Lyrics

[Once upon a time]
[Not so long ago]

Tommy used to work on the docks
Unions been on strike
He goes 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, for love

She says 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, well give it a shot

Whooah
We're half way there
Whooah
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whooah
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, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
She cries in the night
Tommy whispers "baby it's okay, someday"

[[[Solo]]]

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, well give it a shot
Whooah
We're half way there
Whooah
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whooah
Livin' on a prayer

We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight
When it's all that you've got

Whooah
We're half way there
Whooah
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whooah
Livin' on a prayer
