Lyrics:

Verse

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 passions a prison you can't break free

Pre-Chorus

Oh, You're a loaded gun Oh, There's noway to run No one can save me The damage is done

Chorus

Shot thru 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

2 Verse

You paint your smile on your lips Blood red nails on your fingertips A schoolboy's dream, you act so shy Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Bad Name Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Bad Name (fade out)
