[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
