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.
 
WE'RE HALF WAY THERE - LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
 
TAKE MY HAND AND WE'LL MAKE IT
I SWEAR - LIVIN' ON A PRAYER.
 
TOMMY 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 . . .
WE'RE HALF WAY THERE - LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
. . .
 
WE'VE GOT TO HOLD ON READY OR NOT
 
YOU LIVE FOR THE FIGHT WHEN IT'S ALL THAT YOU'VE GOT.
 
WE'RE HALF WAY THERE - LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
. . .
WE'RE HALF WAY THERE - LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
. . .
WE'RE HALF WAY THERE - LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
