[Intro]
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
And whoa, we're halfway there
(Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer)
(Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear)
(Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer)

[Spoken Word]
It don't get any better than that

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Tommy used to work on the docks
The union's been on strike, he's down on his luck
It's tough
So tough
Gina works the diner all day
She's workin' for her man, to bring home her pay
For lovе
For love
[Pre-Chorus]
We'll say, "We'vе gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot"

[Chorus]
Oh, we're halfway there
(Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer)
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
(Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer)

[Verse 2]
Tommy's got his six-string in hock
Now he's holdin' in, when he used to make it talk
So tough
So tough, yeah
Gina dreams of runnin' away
When she cries every night, Tommy whispers
"Baby, it's okay
Someday"

[Pre-Chorus]
We gotta 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
So what?
(We'll give it a shot)
[Chorus]
Oh, we're halfway there
(Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer)
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
(Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer)
Livin' on a prayer

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
We gotta hold on, you ready or not?
You live for the fight when it's all that you got

[Chorus]
Oh, we're halfway there
(Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer)
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
(Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer)
Oh, we're halfway there
(Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer)
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
(Woah-oh) C'mon! (Livin' on a prayer)
Sing it!
(Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear)
(Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer)
[Spoken Word Outro]
Now do it like you're in the greatest city in the world
