Could it be something like IML? I mean, a demo created by Des that Jon took and change it here and there, so here is your hit! I think that Jon officially says that Des wrote only the pre-chorus, but I'm not sure...

If this demo is older than 1985 I think it's safe to say Jon and Richie didn't write Livin' On A Prayer either. It'd also explain why Jon didn't want Prayer on the album: It wasn't written by them, and Desmond was brought in the same way Max Martin was brought in back in 1999.
It's remarkable how Jon has often claimed Desmond wrote pre-chorusses, he's used the same excuse for Bad Medicine and Keep The Faith. "The rest was all them", according to Jon.
