Livin' On A Prayer Lyrics

Artist: Bon Jovi
Album: Slippery When Wet

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 THE PAY... FOR LOVE, FOR LOVE
SHE'S SAYS: WE'VE GOT TO HOLD ON TO WHAT WE'VE GOT
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: WHOA, WE'RE HALFWAY THERE
OH, LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
TAKE MY HAND AND WE'LL MAKE IT - I SWEAR
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, IT'S TOUGH
AND 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'VE GIVE IT A SHOT
CHORUS: WHOA, WE'RE HALF WAY THERE
OH, LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
TAKE MY HAND AND WE'LL MAKE IT - I SWEAR
OH, LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
GUITAR SOLO
WE'VE GOT TO HOLD ON
READY OR NOT
YOU LIVE FOR THE FIGHT WHEN IT'S ALL THAT YOU'VE GOT
CHORUS: WE'RE HALFWAY THERE
LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
TAKE MY HAND AND WE'LL MAKE IT I SWEAR
LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
CHORUS REPEAT
