Livin' On A Prayer - Live, 1988

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

Mmm, for love

She says, "We've 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"

Whoa, we're half way there

Oh-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 what he used to make it talk

So tough, ooh, it's tough

Gina dreams of running away

When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers

"Baby it's okay, someday"

We've 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"

Oh, we're half way there

Oh-oh, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer

Livin' on a prayer

Ooh, we gotta hold on, ready or not

You live for the fight when that's all that you've got

Whoa, we're half way there

Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand, and we'll make it, I swear

Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer

Whoa, we're half way there

Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand, and we'll make it, I swear

Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer

Whoa, we're half way there

Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand, and we'll make it, I swear

Woah-ah
