Start me up
Start me up
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike, he's down on his luck.
It's tough, oh so tough
We gotta hold on ready or not
You live the for the fight when that's all that you've got
Start me up
We're half way there
Oh livin' on a prayer
Start me up
We'll make it I swear
Oh livin' on a prayer
If you start me up (uh)
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with riders in the other heat, yeah yeah
I'll make a grown man cry,
I'll make a grown man give it a shot
Start me up
We're half way there
Oh livin' on a prayer
Start me up
We'll make it I swear
Oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
[instrumental break]
Oh, we gotta hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got
Start me up
Oh, we're half way there
Oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear,
Oh livin' on a prayer
Start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop (I'll never stop)
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Oh, livin on a prayer
Oh, we're half way there
Oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear,
Oh livin' on a prayer (we're almost there)
Livin' on a prayer
You gotta start me up
