Intro
(Once upon a time, not so long ago ...)
Verse 1
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 brings home her pay
For love, mmmm for love.
Pre-chorus
She says 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.
Chorus
Woo - oo, we're halfway there, wo - oo, livin' on a prayer.
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Wo - oo, livin' on a prayer
Verse 2
Tommy's got his six-string in hock, now he's holding in,
what he used to make it talk
So tough, mmm it's tough
Gina dreams of running away, when she cries in the night, Tommy whispers:
Baby, it's o-kay, some day.
Pre-chorus
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.
Chorus
Woo - oo, we're halfway there, wo - oo, livin' on a prayer.
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Wo - oo, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer.

Pre-chorus
Oooooooooh, we gotta hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got.
[Chorus] (Key change)
Woo - oooo, we're half - way there
Woo - oooo, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Woo - oo, living on a prayer
Woo - oooo, we're half - way there
Woo - oooo, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Woo - oo, living on a prayer
