[Intro]
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Darling, you give love a bad name
[Verse 1]
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promised me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, you're a loaded gun, yeah
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me, the damage is done
[Chorus]
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
Yeah, you give love a bad name
[Verse 2]
Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, you're a loaded gun
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me, the damage is done
[Chorus]
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
You give love a...
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
[Outro]
You give love
You give love, bad name
You give love
You give love, bad name
You give love
You give love, bad name
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Darling, you give love a bad name
[Verse 1]
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promised me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, you're a loaded gun, yeah
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me, the damage is done
[Chorus]
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
Yeah, you give love a bad name
[Verse 2]
Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, you're a loaded gun
Oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me, the damage is done
[Chorus]
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
You give love a...
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
[Outro]
You give love
You give love, bad name
You give love
You give love, bad name
You give love
You give love, bad name
