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 dinner all day 
Working for her man 
She brings all her pay for love 
She brings all her pay for love 

We've got to hold on to 
What we've got 
it doesn't make difference 
If we make it or not 
We've got each other and that's a lot 
For love, for love 

We're half way there 
Livin' on a prayer 
Take my hand and we'll make it, i swear 
Livin' on a prayer 

Tommy's got his six string in hock 
He's holding in what he used 
To make it talk 
So tough, 
To make it talk 
So tough 

Gina dreams of running away 
When she cries every hight 
Tommy whispers: it's okay, it's okay,baby it's okay, 

We've got to hold on to what we've got 
it doesn't make difference 
If we make it or not 
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 

We've got to hold on ready or not 
You live for the fight 
When it's all that you've got 

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 

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