Livin' On A Prayer Lyrics
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 each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
Chorus:
Whooah, we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand we'll make it
I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Tommy's got his six string hock
Now he's holding in what he used
to make it talk
so tough, it's so 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
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
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
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - For love
She says we've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
Whooah, we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand we'll make it
I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Now he's holding in what he used
to make it talk
so tough, it's so tough
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
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got

this song is awesome! i mean it speaks for all young christian couples. stellar kart rox so hard! woo hoo! |-D hehe
woo only one comment and it was ages ago cool im only on here nto see if there the same lyrics as Bon Jovi's and they are so bye
Why in the world did they put this song on their CD? This isn't a Christian song!
I emailed the band and got this reply from Jordan himself:
"livin on a prayer was something we wanted to do. We dont feel like all the songs we come out with have to be christian, just creative."
"Once upon a time Not so long ago" are not in the version I have. Maybe they are on a different one tho. But I like this one better than Bon Jovi's. Stellar kart is awesome.
How isn't this a Christian song?
