Once upon a time, not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike, he's down on his luck, it's tough, mm, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay for love, mm, for love
She says, "We 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"
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, 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, oh, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers, "Baby, it's okay, someday"
You 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
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
Ooh, we got to hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
