Alex Goot - Livin' On A Prayer Lyrics






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 gotta 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."

[Chorus:]
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer

Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in
What he used to make it talk
It's tough, it's tough

Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers,
"Baby, it's okay, someday...

...We've gotta 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."

[Chorus]

Livin' on a prayer

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

[Chorus x2]

  18. L.... C....

    Is there any song that this man couldn't sing ? I don't think so

    L.... C....

    Smells like teen spirit?

  19. V.... C....

    Fantástico

  20. R.... G....

    Un vídeo muy bueno👍saludos desde🇪🇸🇪🇸

  21. C.... B....

    A man who plays all these instruments and sings is a talented man

    C.... B....

    Charli Bloomer check out Kurt Hugo Schneider if you haven’t already.

  22. N.... S....

    Awesome

  23. C.... ....

    I havent heard the original, but this is an amazing cover, great job

    C.... ....

    I'm gonna go ahead and pretend you didn't just say that...

  24. J.... S....

    Sounds just live Bon jovi and that’s a damn good thing

    J.... S....

    "Sounds just live Bon Jovi."??? I don't think so. Not even close. But great cover though.

  25. S.... ....

    He tried not to overdo it, trying to much like bon jovi and rather keeping his own style and it sounds damn good.

  26. N.... B....

    393/5000
    We can't belittle the boy's talent. But it is clear that his voice and singing do not match rock n 'roll. Particularly this timbre voice does not like me either, it is a very youthful voice, it combines more with Justin Bieber style songs, Back Street Boys, ..... but I reaffirm that he sings a lot. But his singing voice and way spoils this international anthem.

    N.... B....

    Yeah for sure..

  27. P.... P....

    Dont listen to them mean comments they are just jealous of ure talent

  28. K.... ....

    His voice may be not the best fitting if you compare it to Bon Jovis' which I'm pretty sure most of you did. But let's be realistic nobody sings like Bon Jovi. And this guy has a pretty amazing voice in general so give him a f*cking break and let him have his shot at a song he likes.

    K.... ....

    exactly!

  29. L.... F....

    Sensacional canta e toca todos os instrumentos 😯👏🏻

  30. A.... G....

    Coffe shop metal..

  31. s.... ....

    Awesome. I love it.

  32. x.... 1....

    Stick to your own root you r not deserves to sing this song you r ruinin the legendary classic Rock song, it's not your cup of tea to do this kind of Rock songs so better u stick to your own pop shitttt music not ROCK N ROLL

    x.... 1....

    Your grammar is shit

    x.... 1....

    xxx 123 fuck off turd you wouldn’t understand talent unless it was at the level your grammar is

    x.... 1....

    U may dislike, I love rock n roll 2 and I m not sure his voice is apropriate but you can't forbid somebody to sing what he wants

  33. S.... m....

    Gay version of the metal music.

    S.... m....

    Bon Jovi isn't metal but ok

    S.... m....

    Still gay

    S.... m....

    bon jovi is not metal stupid

  34. D.... N....

    K, that's a Gibson jumbo.

  35. L.... S....

    Don’t pay attention to negative comments songs sounds awesome

    L.... S....

    Tats true they are jealous keep it up bro

  36. R.... ....

    You ruined the song dude, made it sound like it was sung by a teenage girl.

    R.... ....

    @Jackie Bruhn No, you don't. You're just a fat feminist.

    R.... ....

    Look at all you fucking snowflakes. Yeah someone doesn't fucking like the song you stupid fucks. Grow tf up.

    R.... ....

    but the way he playing instrument, It's fucking awesome!

    R.... ....

    @ROCK Atleast he tried dude. He worked hard for the cover, and that's what he get in return. Tbh, you shouldn't actually care if the song is good or not, if you don't like it, just scram. And atleast be less toxic.

  37. J.... S....

    I've got nothing, great job!

  38. D.... ....

    Genius!!!!

  39. M.... e....

    Amazing! Just a point: so much tuner in your voice. Remove a little bit and then will be PERFECT. Congrats!!

  40. A.... N....

    I love this you gave it a new look!!

  41. W.... M....

    Amazing!

  42. K.... _....

    Talented on Instruments, but terrible voice lol

    K.... _....

    @The Gecko Fanatic What's really interesting is that Bon Jovi does it the exact same way when he sings it live. All the "wo-oah"s before "livin' on a prayer"s are only sung by the backup singers and thus sound really mellow. As it turns out, if you listen to the original closely you'll notice it's the same: Jon doesn't sing any of the "wo-oah"s. They increase the volume of the backup singers by x10000 during those parts so it sounds like he is, but he isn't. https://youtu.be/qHQbLGG8Sr8?t=244 https://youtu.be/tZiDq5D6jE0?t=205

    K.... _....

    It still felt stronger on the original, but that is an interesting fact! Thanks for telling me, I didn’t know that.

    K.... _....

    I agree he has a good voice, just doesn’t work for me on this song.

    K.... _....

    That’s fair

  43. h.... r....

    GAROTO????????? puts o talento

  44. v.... r....

    Way better than the original!

    v.... r....

    @vincent regent what's better in this version?

    v.... r....

    Bon Jovi hits complex notes, much more powerful then this but I agree it's on par.

    v.... r....

    you must be dumb

    v.... r....

    @vincent regent your opinion is wrong

    v.... r....

    I like them both

  45. K.... H....

    Damn he made an iconic song sound so bland and basic. He just doesn’t have the power and rasp that the song requires.

    K.... H....

    Kale Hesiko I agree it was kinda boring. Is he talented yea, but this song just isn’t the right for him.

    K.... H....

    Agree. His voice makes this song sounds like just another song not an Iconic song from the 80's

  46. V.... A....

    That's a whole lotta pitch correction :/

    V.... A....

    That’s what’s in style now unfortunately

  47. P.... S....

    What instruments can you play?

    Alex: Yes

  48. p.... p....

    I love your voice

  49. l.... ....

    What instrument do you play?


    Alex:

  50. S.... ....

    Do a cover of this but say lemon on chair instead of living on a prayer

  51. d.... ....

    What’s with all the dickheads in the comments?? Covers aren’t meant to sound like the original like a copy, they’re meant to exact a style the cover artist envisions.

    d.... ....

    Yeah. But unfortunately, this song sounds like shit. And I didn't even care if it's a cover or not in the first place. Lol

    d.... ....

    @ROCK Im dissappointed in u. u dont know the taste of music

    Man, the people in these comments are saltier than the fries I get at McDonald's. At least my order of fries can come up with better insults than "CRINGE dislike" or "Fuck you." Like a bunch of six year olds trying to act tough toward someone they don't like. Also, brilliant cover by Goot. May not be some people's favorites, but it's amazing nonetheless! Good job, sir.

  72. p.... C....

    Excellent cover

    p.... C....

    Afirmative

  73. J.... R....

    Love this. Thank you 😀

  74. J.... M....

    Everyone is hating on Alex because he has a unique voice. It's different. That's why I've been listening to him since 2013. He's also the reason why I started singing again. Thank you, Alex, for being an inspiration to me ever since. I will always be your fan.

  75. I.... S....

    Yeah agrred

  76. F.... ....

    This was going ok until he strated singing. ;/

    Jajajajaja Bon Jovi pero puto, jajajajaja

    Shut up he sings this song in a different style and its ugly as f

    @jawbreaker GG I bet your a lazy idiot who stays in his fucking couch for 24 hours and have absolutely no talent that the thing you only do is being mad at other people

    b.... 2....

    @a cat with a mustache so just because I am lazy every song I hear must be all good and cannot be bad?

  79. B.... C....

    FUCK THIS CRAP,WATCH DAVID MALTON COVER,GUY IS TEN TIMES BETTER THAN THIS SHIT!

    B.... C....

    people can’t just sing for fun, it’s gotta be a competition to see who’s better?? lighten up lmao

    B.... C....

    @Boban Cholich Your comment made zero sense. You obviously don't know a single thing about music, let alone singers. I've been singing for 5 years, so you got nothing on me

    B.... C....

    Oxyme,the audience always knows better,singers wouldn't exist without.If people like me say something is shit,singer's carreer stops.Maybe I don't know a thing about music,but you don't have a clue about audience.And if you can't take bashing in this period of social network dictatorship,good luck!

    B.... C....

    wvlfsbane,You can sing for fun until you have 83 views.When you have 8 300 000,it stops being just for fun,you have to face haters like me.

    B.... C....

    @Boban Cholich You think _you're_ important? That's probably the funniest joke i've heared today. You're irrelevant and can honestly dig a hole and die, for all i care. Your opinions don't matter exactly because you don't know shit about music. That's how it works, deal with it

  80. C.... ....

    C mon !! Isn't that bad you haters

    C.... ....

    Tell it to the assholes

  81. N.... Z....

    Surtout continue car tu fais un travail monstre pour reproduire au mieux la musique est en plus tu fais tous seul. J'adore cette chanson et surtout ta reprise donc n'écoute pas les autres. Bravo.

    WHEN I SEE A VIDEO WITH 7 MILLION VIEWS I KNOW IT MUST BE SHIT

    B.... C....

    Okay, Well, I Have Done A Cover Of This On My Channel, And Have, Nowhere Near 7 Million Views, So If You Could Spare 2 Minutes Of Your Time To Have A Listen And Possibly Pass On Some Comments, That Would Be Great ; 0 )

    B.... C....

    Well as you can see, it's not

  83. N.... Z....

    it's very impressioneted and i love this song and your Cover

    N.... Z....

    N.... Z....

    Please Could Y O U Check Out My Cover Of This Song, I Would Really Appreciate Your Feed Back : 0 )

  84. B.... C....

    FUCK THIS CRAP,WATCH KOBRA ROCKSHOW COVER OF THIS SONG,TEN TIMES BETTER

    B.... C....

    @David Malton HAHAHA YOU ARE REALLY STUBBORN,IF YOU KEEP GOING LIKE THIS YOU MAY EVEN CONVINCE ME

    B.... C....

    Some are better than other.....that's the nature of cover....some covers are legendary....and some are not....does that give obnoxious idiots like you the right to criticize someone

    B.... C....

    @Boban Cholich You are CHEEKY,
    But i LIKE THAT !!!!!!!!, STAY FRIENDLY.

    B.... C....

    @Pritom Kaneria EASY TIGER .... In answer to your question, YES it does, So much so, That i am offering YOU the chance to go and have a listen to my version and offer up some feed back, HOW'S ABOUT THAT THEN : 0 )

    B.... C....

    How many times are you gonna comment this? You could perhaps go get a life. It's really pointless to say shit like this a hundered times- No, _you're_ pointless. Go jump in a hole, would ya?

  85. C.... M....

    Why are people being such assholes. Yeah, it's different from the original, but that's the point of covers: seeing an original twist that isn't with the first version. If you want to see the original, listen to it. Great song, Alex. Cool voice. This is the first video of yours that I've seen and I think you're very talented.

    C.... M....

    Well idiot, he took a Rock song and made it a shitty pop version! That’s why!

    C.... M....

    Hello, I Don't Think That I Am An Arse Hole, I Have, However Done A Cover Of This Song On My Channel, ANd Would Really Appreciate Your Feed Back, So I f You Could Spare 2 Minutes
    Of Your Life To Have A Listen And Possibly Comment On It, That Would Be Great : 0 )

    C.... M....

    @Satchel  What part of "Original twist different from the original" is hard to understand? The original is a rock song, he sang it as a pop song. An original take on a good song. You May not like pop music but that doesn't mean it's not a good song. Alex Goot has an amazing voice and he made a great cover. If you can come up with real reasons he's bad, I will humor you. Otherwise, keep those fingers off the keyboard. Also, yes, I know it's 2 years late, doesn't matter. I see a mistake, I point it out. Have a good day sir/madam

  86. S.... R....

    People who r saying " this is way better than original" are actually some pop shit suckers..

    S.... R....

    @Oxyme how old r u actully? Cz u need a mature age to understand any noble posey. I am cnofuse weather u r a man or not.

    S.... R....

    @Oxyme Oh i am sorry.. I didn't noticed ur profile pic.. U r a 14 year old nibbi..
    I was just wasting time. Ok. Justin bieber is the best singer in the universe... Now go and fuck with ur barbie doll..😛

    S.... R....

    @Sanjid Rahman I sure am mature enough to write normally *cough* unlike _someone_ *cough*
    Anyway, it really doesn't take a genius to figure out that rock is a shame to the music industry. There's no talent at all and i feel offended to know that some people actually think of screaming into a mic as "talent".

    S.... R....

    @Oxyme you remind me of my ex when i was in 5th. She used to talk just like you... Ah that attitude.. Still funny as hell..😂😂

    S.... R....

    @Sanjid Rahman And?

  87. T.... ....

    Why is he getting so much hate recently? I remember people liked his version years ago when it came out. Just leave him alone, people, if you don't like it, just don't listen to it.

  88. S.... ....

    Who the fuck likes this shit! He ruined an awesome Rock song! This is some Bieber shit!

    S.... ....

    Satchel if you don’t like it don’t watch it. There’s no need to try and put it down to the people who do enjoy it (I’m neutral but I prefer the original).

    S.... ....

    WeebosOW To like or dislike I need to watch it first, smartass! And I didn’t fucking liked it! I’m expressing an opinion and dont give a fuck about yours!

    S.... ....

    @Satchel What you're doing is acting like my 9 year old brother because someone has opposing views to your's.

    S.... ....

    Kinda fairy dude

    S.... ....

    @Satchel Honestly? Fucking leave. Nobody gives a fuck about your 8 year old ass complaining because people aren't as immature as you

  89. E.... S....

    Alex fuck you

    E.... S....

    Wow, sick burn, really got him there

  90. T.... F....

    Y este quien se cree

    T.... F....

    Se cree un tipo con talento y capaz de hacer este cover, y le encuentro toda la razón

  91. Y.... G....

    Listen Glee Mash-Up Cover

    Y.... G....

    YES! I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE REMEMBERS THAT!!!

  92. R.... R....

    Nso this is the guy who spoils all the beautiful songs

    R.... R....

    This is amazing tho

    R.... R....

    What are you talking about ? This is way better than the original

    R.... R....

    "Spoils all tje beautiful songs". Child, I didn't even want to listen to a lot of songs until he made a cover for them. He made me want to actually listen to them. Please, tell me more about how he "ruined" them

  93. T.... ....

    i love that key change... so nice

  94. �.... �....

    very good

  95. E.... L....

    his voice has a lot of processing, sounds like a girl

    E.... L....

    I mean it's nowhere as good as the original, but at least it doesn't sound like total crap.

  96. B.... C....
