1. LIVIN' ON A PRAYER

Once upon a time
Not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks
Unions been on strike

Hes down on his luck...its tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day

Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

She says weve got to hold on to what weve got
cause it doesnt make a difference

If we make it or not
Weve got each other and thats a lot
For love - well give it a shot

Whooah, were half way there
Livin on a prayer

Take my hand and well make it - i swear
Livin on a prayer

Tommys got his six string in hock
Now hes holding in what he used

To make it talk - so tough, its tough
Gina dreams of running away

When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers baby its okay, someday

Weve got to hold on to what weve got
Cause it doesnt make a difference

If we make it or not
Weve got each other and thats a lot
For love - well give it a shot

Weve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when its all that youve got


2. WILD IN THE STREETS

Joey comes from a sacred part of town
Where sometimes you talk so tough

That your feet don't touch the ground
And the sidewalk soldiers sing the midnite blues
While the old men recite their story lines

About when i was young like you
They say: oh yeah

We were cruising to the backbeat
Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats
We were wild, wild in the streets

A member of the boy's brigade
Had a date with the girl next door

You know it made her daddy crazy
But it only made her want him more
They weren't looking for trouble

You know that boy didn't want a fight - not tonight
So she headed out thru her bathroom window
What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright
They said: oh yeah

We were cruising to the backbeat
Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats
We were wild, wild in the streets

Wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets

Sometimes this town ain't pretty
But you know it ain't so bad

Just like a girl who looks so happy
Whe inside she's so so sad

In here we got this code of honor
Nobody's going down

You don't walk in vain
Trough the kid's parade
'Cause this is my hometown


3. EDGE OF A BROKEN HEART

You - you got a nasty reputation
We're in a sticky situation - it's down to me and you
So tell me - is it true ...
They say there ain't nobody better

Well now that we're together
Show me what you can do

You're under the gun
Out on the run

Gonna set the night on fire
You're out on the run

Under the gun
And playin' to win

Raise your hands
When you want to let it go
Raise your hands

And you want to let a feeling show
Raise your hands

From New York to Chicago
Raise your hands
From New Jersey to Tokyo
Raise your hands

I - i've been out on the front line
Where you'll go down if you waste time
They'll walk all over you

But i - i ain't here looking for surrender
I'll raise the flag if you'll defend her
It's up to you

You're under the gun
Out on the run

Gonna set the night on fire
You're out on the run
Under the gun

And playin' to win
