Below, you will find the lyrics for Livin’ On A Prayer by Bon Jovi.
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Verse 1
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
Chorus 1
She says: We've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference
Chorus 1
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love, we'll give it a shot
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Verse 2
Tommy's 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
Chorus 2
We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
Chorus 2
We've got each other and that's a lot
Chorus 2
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Bridge
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Chorus 3
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Livin' on a prayer
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Livin' on a prayer
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
