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 the diner all day
Working for her man
She´s brings home her play
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,¸we´ll give it a shot

Oooh, we´re half way there
Oooh, livin´ on a prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it, I swear
Oooh, 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
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers baby it´s okay, someday

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, we´ll give it a shot

Oooh, we´re half way there
Oooh, livin´ on a prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it, I swear
Oooh, livin´ on a prayer
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

Oooh, we´re half way there
Oooh, livin´ on a prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it, I swear
Oooh, livin´ on a prayer

Oooh, we´re half way there
Oooh, livin´ on a prayer
Take my hand and we´ll make it, I swear
Oooh, livin´ on a prayer
