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, WORKIN 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 DIFFERANCE
IF WE MAKE IT OR NOT
WE'VE GOT EACH OTHER AND THAT A LOT
FOR LOVE WE'LL GIVE IT A SHOT
OHHHHHH
WE'RE HALF WAY THERE
OH-OH! LIVIN ON PRAYER
TAKE MY HAND AND WE'LL MAKE IT I SWEAR
OH-OH! 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 OFF 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 DIFFERANCE
IF WE MAKE IT OR NOT
WE'VE GOT EACH OTHER AND THAT'S A LOT
FOR LOVE- WE'LL GIVE IT A SHOT
OHHHHHH
WE'RE HALF WAY THERE
OH-OH! LIVIN ON A PRAYER
TAKE MY HAND AND WE'LL MAKE IT I SWEAR
OH-OH! LIVIN ON A PRAYER
