Bon Jovi Lyrics.

I swear Whoa, livin' on a prayer Tommy's got his six string in hock Now he's holding in What he used to make it talk So tough, it's tough Gina dreams of running away When she cries in the night Tommy whispers "Baby, it's okay, someday We've gotta 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 Whoa, we're half-way there Whoa, livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it. I swear Whoa, livin' on a prayer Livin' on a prayer We've gotta hold on ready or not You live for the fight when it's all that you've got Whoa, we're half-way there Whoa, livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear Whoa, livin' on a prayer Whoa, we're half-way there Whoa, livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear Whoa, livin' on a prayer.
