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. Chorus:. 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. Solo. 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
