You Give Love a Bad Name
|
Bon Jovi (#1 in 1986)
|
Shot through the heart, and you're to blame.
You give love a bad name.
An angel's smile is what you sell.
You promise me heaven then you put me through hell.
Chains of love got a hold on me.
When passions a prison, you can't break free.
Oh, you're a loaded gun
Oh, there's nowhere to run,
No one can save me, the damage is done.
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.
Oh you give love a bad name.
You 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. Chorus
You Give Love a Bad Name was originally written for and recorded by Bonnie Tyler, but the writer, Desmond Child, wasn't satisfied with it and re-wrote it for Bon Jovi, giving them their first #1 hit.
