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
