Livin’ on a Prayer Lyrics by BulletBoys

Rocked & Ripped

2011

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, 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"
Oh, We're half way there
Whoah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoah, livin' on a prayer
Tommy 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"
Oh, we're half way there
Whoah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoah, livin' on a prayer
We've got to hold on
Ready or not
You live for the fight
When that's all that you've got
Oh, We're half way there
Whoah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoah, livin' on a prayer
Oh, We're half way there
Whoah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoah, livin' on a prayer
