Bon Jovi – Livin’ On A Prayer

How many of you know Jon Bon Jovi? I guess many of you do know Bon Jovi..

Did you know that his name is actually John Francis Bongiovi Jr.? Yeah I know..He got a Bong in his name wtf..LOL~!!

I remember I first knew Bon Jovi was back in somewhere 1995 or 1996 where I bought the “NOW! That’s What I Call Music” compilation album..

Bon Jovi’s “Always” is the second track in that compilation, and yeah, that’s how I was introduced to Bon Jovi..Then came “This Ain’t A Love Song” and “Something For The Pain”..

Then they went on hiatus for quite sometime until 2000, they released the album Crush and “It’s My Life” is the album’s first single..

Most younger generations associated Bon Jovi with that single instead of older tracks like “Always”..

Talk about that, “It’s My Life” is being compared to their all-time 1986 signature song, “Livin’ On A Prayer”..

“Livin’ On A Prayer” is the second single from Bon Jovi’s 1986 album, Slippery When Wet..

This single spent 4-weeks at #1 on Billborad Hot 100 in 1987..

Here’s their live performance in London Wembley Stadium back in 1995..

Bon Jovi – Livin’ On A Prayer

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, mmm, for love

She 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 got each other and that’s a lot
For love we’ll give it a shot!

Oh, we’re half way there
Oh oh, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand, we’ll make it I swear
Oh oh, livin’ on a prayer

Tommy’s got his six string in hock
Now he’s holding in what he used to make it talk
So tough, mmm, it’s tough

Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
“Baby it’s okay, someday”

We gotta hold on to what we’ve got
It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not
We got each other and that’s a lot
For love we’ll give it a shot!

Oh, we’re half way there
Oh oh, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand, we’ll make it I swear
Oh oh, livin’ on a prayer
Livin’ on a prayer!

We gotta hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it’s all that you’ve got

Whoa, we’re half way there
Whoa oh, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin’ on a prayer

Whoa, we’re half way there
Whoa oh, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin’ on a prayer

Whoa, we’re half way there
Whoa oh, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin’ on a prayer
