Bon Jovi

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 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've got each other and that's a lot

For love — we'll give it a shot».

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted,

No silent prayer for the faith-departed.

I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd,

You're gonna hear my voice,

When I shout it out loud.

I ain't gonna do what I don’t want to,

I’m gonna live my life.
