Once upon a time

Not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks

Unionґs been on strike

Heґs down on his luck...itґs tough, so tough

Gina works the diner all day

Working for her man, she brings home her pay

For love - for love

They say weґve got to hold on to what weґve got

it doesnґt make a difference

If we make it or not

Weґve got each other and thatґs a lot

For love - weґll give it a shot

Chorus:

Whooaaaaaa! Weґre half way there

Whooooaaaa! Livin' On A Prayer

Take my hand- weґll make it - I swear

Whooaaaa! Livin' On A Prayer

Tommy got his six string in hock

Now heґs holding in what he used

To make it talk - so tough, itґs tough

Gina dreams of running away

When she cries in the night

Tommy whispers: Baby itґs okay, someday

Weґve got to hold on to what weґve got

it doesnґt make a difference

If we make it or not

Weґve got each other and thatґs a lot

For love - weґll give it a shot

Chorus

Solo

Weґve got to hold on ready or not

You live for the fight when thatґs all that youґve got

Chorus
