Lyrics:

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
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 halfway there
Oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Oh, livin' on a prayer


Tommy got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in
When he used to make it talk so tough
It's tough
Gina dreams of running away
She cries in the night
Tommy whispers baby it's OK
Some day


She says we've 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 and that's a lot for love
He'll give it a shot


Oh, we're halfway there
Oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer


We've got to hold on
Ready or not
You live for the fight
When it's all that you got


Oh, we're halfway there
Oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Oh, livin' on a prayer
Oh, we're halfway there
Oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Oh, livin' on a prayer
Oh, we're halfway there
Oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Oh, livin' on a prayer
