Bon Jovi: Livin’ On A Prayer.
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 home her pay, for love, for loveShe says, we’ve got to 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 shotWoah, we’re half way there
Woah, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand, we’ll make it I swear
Woah, livin’ on a prayerTommy’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, somedayWe’ve got to 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 shotWoah, we’re half way there
Woah, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand, we’ll make it I swear
Woah, livin’ on a prayer
Livin’ on a prayerOh, we’ve got to hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when it’s all that you’ve got
Woah, we’re half way there
Woah, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand, we’ll make it I swear
Woah, livin’ on a prayerWoah, we’re half way there
Woah, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand, we’ll make it I swear
Woah, livin’ on a prayerWoah, we’re half way there
Woah, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand, we’ll make it I swear
Woah, livin’ on a prayer
Taken from the album: Slippery When Wet (1986).

Thank you for this today. I needed that blast of JBJ and his boys! That is my favourite video of ALL TIME and just brought a little smile to an otherwise rubbish day! 💜

This one is giving me major flashbacks to my high school years. Bon Jovi had been out for some time prior to that, but that’s when I discovered my love for 80s hair bands. Considering I grew up in New Jersey, it’s like an unwritten rule that you just have to love Bon Jovi at some point in your life.

I LOVE this song! Definitely needed it this week too. Thankfully, my coworkers don’t mind that I blared it through the office space. They even sang along with me. Lol!
