about
"My favorite band and the song that started it all for me back in 1987. Thank you Jon and Richie!"
lyrics
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union went on stroke, he's down on his luck
It's tough, so tough
Gina works a 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 got each other and that's a lot
For love we'll give it a shot
Ho, we're halfway there
Ho oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Oh oh, livin' on a prayer
Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in when he used to make it talk
So tough, ooh so tough, Tommy it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
"Hey baby it's okay, it's okay, someday"
We gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We got each other and that's a lot
For love we'll give it a shot
Ho, we're halfway there
Ho oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Ho oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Oh, livin' on a prayer
