Livin' on a Prayer歌词：

 

Tommy used to work on the docks

Union's been on strike

Hes down on his luck it's tough so tough

Gina works the diner all day

Working for the man she brings home her pay

For love - for love

She say:weve got to hold on to what weve got

'Cause it doesnt make a difference

If we make it or not

Weve got each other and thats a lot

For love - we'll give it a shot

Oh we're half way there

Oh livin' on a prayer

Take my hand and well make it i swear

Oh livin' on a prayer

Tommy got his six string in hock

Now hes holding in what he used

To make it talk - so tough its tough

Gina dreams of running away

When she cries in the night

Tommy whispers:baby it ok someday

Weve got to hold on to what weve got

'Cause it doesnt make a difference

If we make it or not

Weve got each other and thats a lot

For love - we'll give it a shot

Oh we're half way 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

Weve got to hold on ready or not

Your live for the fight when it's all that youve got

Oh we're half way there

Oh livin' on a prayer

Take my hand and well make it i swear

Oh livin' on a prayer

Oh we're half way there

Oh livin' on a prayer

Take my hand and well make it i swear

Oh livin' on a prayer
