Livin’ On A Prayer Lyrics By Bon Jovi

    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 so tough
    gina works the diner all day working for her man
    she brings home her pay for love mmm for love

    pre
    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

    woah we’re halfway there
    woahoh livin’ on a prayer
    take my hand we’ll make it i swear
    woahoh livin’ on a prayer

    tommy’s got his sixstring in hock now he’s holding in
    what he used to make it talk so tough ooh it’s tough
    gina dreams of running away when she cries in the night
    tommy whispers baby it’s okay someday

    pre
    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

    woah we’re halfway there
    woahoh livin’ on a prayer
    take my hand we’ll make it i swear
    woahoh livin’ on a prayer livin’ on a prayer

    ooh we’ve got to hold on ready or not
    you live for the fight when it’s all that you’ve got

    woah we’re halfway there
    woahoh livin’ on a prayer
    take my hand and we’ll make it i swear
    woahoh livin’ on a prayer
    woah we’re halfway there
    woahoh livin’ on a prayer
    take my hand and we’ll make it i swear
    woahoh livin’ on a prayer
    woah we’re halfway there
    woahoh livin’ on a prayer
    take my hand and we’ll make it i swear
    woah we’re halfway there
    woahoh livin’ on a prayer
