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
She says
We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We got each other
And that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
Whoa we're half way there
Oh oh livin' on a prayer
Take my hand we'll make it I swear
Oh oh livin' on a prayer
Oh we're half way there
Oh oh livin' on a prayer
Take a risk
We're livin' on a prayer
Oh oh livin' on a prayer
Oh we're half way there
Oh oh livin' on a prayer
Take a risk
We're livin' on a prayer
Oh oh livin' on a prayer
Oh we're half way there
Oh oh livin' on a prayer
Take a risk
We're livin' on a prayer
Oh oh livin' on a prayer
Oh we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Oh we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
Oh we're half way there
Oh oh livin' on a prayer
Take a risk
We're livin' on a prayer
Oh oh livin' on a prayer
