You Give Love a Bad Name
°î¡¤ÇÇάBon Jovi Lyrics

Shot through the heart
The experience of falling in love is full of intense emotions and feelings

And you're to blame
But when the relationship ends badly, it's easy to blame the other person for everything that went wrong

Darlin', you give love a bad name
The negative experience of this failed relationship makes it difficult to trust and love again in the future

An angel's smile is what you sell
The other person made themselves out to be perfect and innocent to gain trust and affection

You promise me heaven, then put me through Hell
But once things start to go wrong, the other person can be cruel and hurtful, causing a lot of pain and suffering

Chains of love got a hold on me
Even though the other person is causing pain, it can be difficult to let go of the love and connection felt in the relationship

When passions a prison, you can't break free
The strong emotions and attachment to the other person can feel like a trap that is impossible to escape

Oh, you're a loaded gun, yeah
The other person, with their attractive and seemingly innocent image, is actually dangerous and destructive

Oh, there's nowhere to run
Once the relationship has started, it's hard to escape from the dangerous and painful situation

No one can save me
Even with help and support from friends and family, it's difficult to get out of the negative relationship because of the strong emotions involved

The damage is done
By the time the relationship has ended, a lot of emotional pain has already been inflicted

I play my part and you play your game
The other person is manipulative and tries to control the relationship, while the artist tries to hold on and make things work

Paint your smile on your lips
The other person uses their appearance and charm to deceive and manipulate

Blood red nails on your fingertips
The other person also uses physical appearance and seduction to manipulate and control

A school boy's dream, you act so shy
The other person plays into the singer's expectations and desires, putting on an image of innocence and sweetness

Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
However, the other person was never truly invested in the relationship and ultimately leaves the artist heartbroken and alone

You give love a bad name
The negative experience of this relationship makes it more difficult to trust and love again in the future

You give love
The other person's actions and behavior have made it difficult to believe in the goodness and positive power of love

You give love
The other person has made love seem like a negative and painful experience

You give love
The other person's manipulation and deceit have tainted the positive and uplifting aspects of love

You give love a bad name
The overall result is that the artist associates love with negative emotions and experiences, making it harder to find happiness and emotional fulfillment
