Livin’ On a Prayer (Live)

[Intro]
My name is Desmond Child and I am a songwriter
Once upon a time not so long ago
I wrote this song with these two long-haired dudes from New Jersey
Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "We gotta hold on to what we've got
'Cause 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" (Come on)

[Chorus]
Woah, we're halfway there
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, and 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
It's tough
Gina dreams of runnin' away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
"Baby, it's okay
Someday"

[Pre-Chorus]
We gotta hold on to what we've got
'Cause 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]
Woah, we're halfway there
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, and we'll make it, I swear
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer
Woah, 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
Woah, we're halfway there
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, and we'll make it, I swear
Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer

[Outro]
That song is the official national anthem of New Jersey
And it's also the number one song played in strip joints and bars at the end of the night
No, this is brooming
