Lyrics - You give love a bad name
Shot through the heart
And you’re to blame, darling
You give love a bad name
An angel’s smile is what you sell
You promise 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
You’re a loaded gun
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
You give love a bad name
Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boys dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
You’re a loaded gun
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
You give love...
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
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
-> This song has actually been written for the band 'Loverboy'
-> This song was the first one that Bon Jovi wrote with songwriter Desmond Child who had the idea for the title (it was one of his already released songs that he strongly believed in, but that didn't make it and so he offered the idea to completely rewrite it. Then they achieved their number one....)
-> Jon once had a doorbell that played this song ;)
