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. Whooah, we`re half way there. Whooah livin` on a prayer. Take my hand and we`ll make it - I swear. Whooah 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. Whooah, we`re half way there. Whooah livin` on a prayer. Take my hand and we`ll make it - I swear. Whooah livin` on a prayer. 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. Whooah, we`re half way there. Whooah livin` on a prayer. Take my hand and we`ll make it - I swear. Whooah livin` on a prayer.Whooah, we`re half way there. Whooah livin` on a prayer. Take my hand and we`ll make it - I swear. Whooah 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.
