Tommy used to work on the docks
knees have been on strike
He's laid on his back... it's tough, so tough
Gina worked the diner all day
Now working’s all done, she brings home no pay
For love - for love
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
Cause there’s a line for the bathroom
And our bladders are shot
We've got arthritis and that's a lot
For pain - well give it a shot
Whooah, over half way there
Livin on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin on a prayer
Tommy's got his sixth crown in top
Now he's holding in what he uses
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running again
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers but he’s got his teeth out
We've got to hold on to what we've got
Cause there’s a line for the bathroom
And our bladders are shot
We've got arthritis and that's a lot
For pain - well give it a shot
