Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Bad Medicine" by Bon Jovi are about a man who has fallen in love and is hopelessly addicted to the woman. He compares her love to a drug, saying that her kiss is his addiction and her love is his bad medicine that he needs to cure his affliction. The man is aware of his addiction and recognizes that it is like a permanent disease that cannot be cured by any doctor.


Despite the fact that he has a lot of money, he finds that it doesn't bring him satisfaction and he is still addicted to her. He is addicted to her love and affection, which he compares to a monkey on his back that won't go away. He doesn't need any external substances like needles or pills to satisfy him because his addiction is purely psychological.


The chorus of the song is an acknowledgment of the fact that he believes that her love is like bad medicine, which he needs to cure his addiction to her. He asks her to shake things up and to play doctor so that he can be cured of his affliction. Overall, the song is about the power of love to be addictive and to function as a drug that can be both healing and destructive.

this is how a classy performance should look like, it should always be about making people jump from happiness, only frontmen from 80's have that power...
