Lyrics:

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
Its tough, So tough

Ginna works the dinner all day
Working for her man
She brings home her pay for love – for love
She says - We 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 & that’s a lot for love
We’ll give it a shot


Wooooaaa! We’re half way there
Wooooaaa! Livin on a prayer
Take my hand – We’ll make it I swear
Wooooaaa! 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, Its tough

Ginna dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers – Baby its ok someday
We 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 & that’s a lot for love
We’ll give it a shot

Wooooaaa! We’re half way there
Wooooaaa! Livin on a prayer
Take my hand – We’ll make it I swear
Wooooaaa! Livin on a prayer

Oooh! We’ve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when that’s all that you’ve got
