Lyrics

1. YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME

An angels 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 cant break free

Youre a loaded gun
Theres nowhere to run

No one can save me
The damage is done

Shot through the heart
And youre 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

Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips

A school boys dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

Youre a loaded gun
Theres nowhere to run

No one can save me
The damage is done


2. LET IT ROCK

The weekend comes to this town
Seven days too soon

For the ones who have to make up
What we break up of their rules

Well i saw captain kidd on sunset
Tell his boys theyre in command

While chino danced a tango
With a broomstick in his hand

He said: its alright (alright) if you have a good time
Its alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
To break on through to the other side

Let it rock, let it go
You cant stop a fire burning out of control

Let it rock, let it go
With the night youre on the loose
You got to let it rock

We go down to the broadway
Where everybody goes

To get on their rockin horse
And blast that radio

Well i saw roxie on the table
Her girlfriend down below

Theyll give it to the king of swing
Before its time to go

They said: its alright (alright) if you have a good time
Its alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
To break on through to the other side
