“Once upon a time
It isn’t so long ago…”
Tommy used to work on the docks
The union went 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
She brings back her pay for love
Ooh, for love
Oh, 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!
Start me up! We’re halfway there
Ohhh, oh! Livin’ on a prayer
Start me up! We’ll make it I swear
Ohhh, oh! Livin’ on a prayer
Tommy threw his six-string in hock
Baby, he’s holdin’ in
When he used to make it talk so tough
Ooh, it’s tough
Gina keeps on runnin’ away
For when she cried every night
Tommy whispered, “Baby, it’s okay…
Someday.”
She said 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 (So what?)
We’ll give it a shot!
Start me up! We’re halfway there
Ohhh, oh! Livin’ on a prayer
Start me up! We’ll make it I swear
Ohhh, oh! Livin’ on a prayer
If you start me up
Kick on the starter, give it all you’ve got
You’ve got, you’ve got
I can’t compete
With the riders in the other heat
Yeah, yeah
I’ll make a grown man cry
I’ll make a grown man give it a shot!
Start me up! We’re halfway there
Ohhh, oh! Livin’ on a prayer
Start me up! We’ll make it I swear
Ohhh, oh! Livin’ on a prayer
Livin’ on a prayer!
(guitar solo)
Yeah, we’ve got to hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when that’s all that you’ve got!
Start me up! We’re halfway there
Ohhh, oh! Livin’ on a prayer
Start me up! We’ll make it I swear
Ohhh, oh! Livin’ on a prayer
Start me up!
(If you start me up, I’ll never stop)
I’ll never stop! (Livin’ on a prayer)
Start me up! We’ll make it I swear
Ohhh, oh! Livin’ on a prayer
Start me up! We’re halfway there
Ohhh, oh! Livin’ on a prayer
Start me up! We’ll make it I swear
Ohhh, oh! Livin’ on a prayer
(Fade out)
