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
Workin' for her man, she brings home her pay for love, for love

**Chorus
We've gotta hold on, to what we've got
Cuz it doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and thats alot for love, we'll give it a shot
Woah, we're half way there, woah! livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear, woah! livin' on a prayer

Tommy's got his six string on hock,
Now he's rollin' in what he used to make it, talks so tought, it's tough
Gina dreams of runnin' away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers, 'baby its ok, someday,'

**Chorus (2x)
Woah, we're half way there, woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear, woah! livin' on a prayer
