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 - for love
|
|
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
|
'Cause it doesn't make a 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
|
|
Chorus:
|
Whooah, 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
|
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"
|
|
We've got to hold on to what we've got
|
'Cause it doesn't make a 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
|
|
Chorus
|
|
We've got to hold on ready or not
|
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
|
|
Chorus
|
