Wan Huo
Eddie Ng Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Oh, you're a loaded gun, yeah
Oh, 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 (bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (bad name)
You give love, a bad name
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 (bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (bad name)
You give love, oh
Oh, 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 (bad name)
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name (bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (bad name)
You give love
You give love (bad name)
You give love
You give love (bad name)
You give love
You give love (bad name)
You give love
You give love
The lyrics to Eddie Ng's "Wan Huo" are actually the lyrics to Bon Jovi's classic song "You Give Love a Bad Name", which is an iconic rock song about a tumultuous and toxic romantic relationship. The singer of the song is speaking to his love interest, who is described as an angel who sells false promises of heaven and delivers hell instead. The relationship is compared to a prison, where passion becomes the chains that bind, and the love interest is described as a loaded gun, implying that it is a dangerous and unpredictable relationship. The chorus repeats the line "shot through the heart, and you're to blame, you give love a bad name", underscoring the idea that the love interest is responsible for the emotional pain and destruction caused by the relationship.
