[Verse 2 (as verse 1)]
Tommy through his six string in hock
Now he’s holdin’ in, when he used to make it talk so tough 
Just like richie
So tough
Gine dreams of running away
When she cries in the night tommy wispers
Gina it’s okay, someday

[Pre-Chourus]
Says we’ve gotta hold on to what we’ve got
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

[Chourus]
Ooh oh, we’re half way there
(richie background)
Whoa oh, livin on a prayer
Take my hand
We’ll make it I swear
(richie background)
Whoa oh, livin on a prayer
