Song Lyrics | Bon Jovi – You Give Love A Bad Name

You Give Love A Bad Name Lyrics, By Bon Jovi

I wrote about Bon Jovi a while back when I posted the song lyrics to Wanted Dead or Alive. That song was even popular enough to make it onto the Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch. Well, that's not the only song of Bon Jovi's to gain recognition from the television industry.

You Give Love A Bad Name made it onto the VH1 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs. The song was ranked in the 20th position on the list. A pretty impressive showing for Bon Jovi.

You Give Love A Bad Name Lyrics:

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
Darlin'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

Whoa! You're a loaded gun (yeah)
Whoa! There's no where 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

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

Whoa! You're a loaded gun
Whoa! 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 lo-o-o-o-ove!

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

You give love...

You give love...
(A bad name)

You give love...

You give love...
(A bad name)

You give love...

You give love...
(A bad name)

You give love...
