About Livin' On A Prayer

'Livin' on a Prayer' is Bon Jovi's second single from their "Slippery When Wet" album. The song is considered the band's signature song. This is the first time that Sambora used the talk box as a lead instrument. Jon Bon Jovi did not like the original recording of this song, which can be found as a hidden track on "100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong". Richie Sambora convinced him the song was good, and they reworked it and included it on their "Slippery When Wet" album. .

Livin' On A Prayer Lyrics

[00:38.62] Once upon a time
[00:40.71] Not so long ago
[00:45.72] Tommy used to work on the docks
[00:49.69] Union's been on strike, he's down on his luck
[00:53.37] It's tough, so tough
[01:01.55] Gina works the diner all day
[01:05.54] Working for her man, she brings home her pay for love
[01:11.61] Mmm, for love
[01:16.05] She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got
[01:21.00] It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
[01:25.08] We got each other, and that's a lot for love
[01:30.76] We'll give it a shot"
[01:33.08] Whoa, we're half way there
[01:36.94] Oh-oh, livin' on a prayer
[01:40.88] Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
[01:44.62] Oh-oh, livin' on a prayer
[01:49.36]
[01:52.55] Tommy's got his six-string in hock
[01:56.16] Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk
[01:59.81] So tough, ooh, it's tough
[02:06.07]
[02:08.15] Gina dreams of running away
[02:11.75] When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
[02:14.94] "Baby it's okay, someday"
[02:22.89] We've gotta hold on to what we've got
[02:27.54] It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
[02:31.49] We got each other, and that's a lot for love
[02:37.12] We'll give it a shot"
[02:39.34] Oh, we're half way there
[02:43.38] Oh-oh, livin' on a prayer
[02:47.05] Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
[02:51.03] Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer
[02:54.93] Livin' on a prayer
[02:58.43]
[03:14.08] Ooh, we gotta hold on, ready or not
[03:20.15] You live for the fight when that's all that you've got
[03:23.65] Whoa, we're half way there
[03:27.67] Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
[03:31.52] Take my hand, and we'll make it, I swear
[03:35.21] Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
[03:39.01] Whoa, we're half way there
[03:43.14] Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
[03:46.86] Take my hand, and we'll make it, I swear
[03:50.72] Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
[03:54.42] Whoa, we're half way there
[03:58.53] Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
[04:02.41] Take my hand, and we'll make it, I swear
[04:06.17] Woah-ah
[04:07.41]
