I’ve seen it in your eyes
And I’ve heard it in your voice
The way you speak my name
Tells me there’s no doubt
That the dream that i held on for
Will be everlasting
You know poverty
Can be romantic
In black and white
It looks like art
Just as long as we’re together
I couldn’t care less
We’ve got
Harmony and understanding
It’s love for the first time
Like the morning sun that’s breaking
Giving out that special light
True love
True love
We’ve got true love
True love

Once upon a time
Not so long ago
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
Working for her man, she brings hom her pay
For love – for love
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
We’re half way there
Livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it – I swear
Livin’ on a prayer
Tommy 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 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
We’re half way there
Livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it – I swear
We’ve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it’s all that you’ve got
We’re half way there
Livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it – I swear
Livin’ on a prayer
Look at that old man with the broken shoes
He could tell you stories he knows how to lose
Look at that sweet thing packaged so tight
She does things her own way, knows the wrong from right
But there’s one big difference now she does anything she wants
And every night is midnight as they come to take her through the door
Of suffering as it is her own way out no matter how she feels
Her day is
Can you see madame breaking all the rules
She does things her own way, she’s nobody’s fool
Yes, she finds things easier now she does everything she says
They climb up on her doorstep and rock around the clock tonight
And rock around again in spite of everything she’d done she is forgotten
Look at that young man with the tired eyes
He believes in magic, he believes in lies
