Livin’ on a Prayer Lyrics by The Audition

Higher Voltage: Another Brief History Of Rock

0

[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, for love
[Pre-Chorus]
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've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot"
[Chorus]
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
[Verse 2]
Tommy's got his six-string in hock, now he's holding in
Whеn he used to make it talk so tough, oh, it's tough
Gina drеams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
"Baby, it's okay, someday"
[Pre-Chorus]
We've gotta 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]
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Oh, we've gotta hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got
[Chorus]
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
