Livin' on a prayer

by Jon Bon Jovi
Karaoke by H.de Koning

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, mm, for love.

She 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.

Oh, we're halfway there.
Oh, livin' on a prayer.

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear.
Oh, livin' on a prayer.

Tommy's got his sixstring in hock.
Now, he's holdin' in what he used to make it talk;
so tough, mm, it's tough.

Gina dreams of runnin' 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.
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.

Oh, we're halfway there.
Oh, livin' on a prayer.

Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear.
Oh, livin' on a prayer,
livin' on a prayer.

Ooh, we've got to hold on, ready or not.
You live for the fight
when that's all that you've got.

Woh, we're halfway there.
Woh, livin' on a prayer.

Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear.
Woh, livin' on a prayer.

Woh, we're halfway there.
Woh, livin' on a prayer.

Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear.
Woh, livin' on a prayer.

Woh, we're halfway there.
Woh, livin' on a prayer.

Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear.
Woh, livin' on a prayer.
