[Intro]
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Baby, you give love (A bad name)
You got it!

[Verse 1]
Angel's smile is what you sell
You promised me heaven, you put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison, you can't break free

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, you're a loaded gun
Oh, ain't nowhere to run
'Cause no one could save me, 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, you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
You give love—
Yeah

[Verse 2]
You paint that smile on them lips
With blood red nails on those fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, you're a loaded gun (Look out!)
Oh-oh-oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me, the damage is done

[Chorus]
Shot through the heart, you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part, you play your game
You, you give love—

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Come on, now!
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Sing it!
(You give love a bad name)
I play my part, you play your game
(You give love a bad name)

[Chorus]
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
I play my part, you play your game
You give love a bad name (Bad name)
[Outro]
(Whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh-oh) A bad name
(Whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh-oh) You got a bad name
(Whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh-oh) A bad name
(Whoa-oh) One more time!
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)
