Hes down on his luc, it's tough
(Riff Principal)
She brings home her pay for love
(Riff Principal)
She says: 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
O___oh, we're half way there
Who___ah, living on a prayer
Take my hand
We'll make it, I swear
Who___ah, living on a prayer
(Riff Principal)
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
O___oh, we're half way there
Who___ah, living on a prayer
Take my hand
We'll make it, I swear
Who___ah, living on a prayer
Living on a prayer
We've got to hold on
Ready or not
You live for the fight
When that's all that you've got
O___oh, we're half way there
Take my hand
We'll make it, I swear
O___oh, we're half way there
Take my hand
And we'll make it, I swear
O___oh, we're half way there
