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 makes 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: We´re half way there Livin' On A Prayer Take my hand and we´ll make it - I swear 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 makes 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 Solo We´ve got to hold on ready or not You live for the fight when it´s all that you´ve got Chorus
