Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Darlin', you give love a bad name

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promised 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
Whoa-oh-oh, you're a loaded gun, yeah
Whoa-oh-oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me, the damage is done

Hey, you give love
