A river of tears runs through this town
From all the girls you've messed around
Those poor things didn't have a clue
What they were gettin' their selves into.

You don't even care at all
How they feel, how far they fall
They're playin' such a reckless game
Boys like you give love a bad name
Ya, boys like you give love a bad name

Yeah you've got the moves, you've got the lines
Promise them it'll work out fine
Lead them on, then drop them flat
Some may never recover from that

You don't even care at all
How they feel, how far they fall
They're playin' such a reckless game
Boys like you give love a bad name
Ya, boys like you give love a bad name

Someday soon I hope you'll see
How painful it can be
You'll meet a girl, yeah
Just like you
Then she'll break your heart in two

Measure of a good man
Is something you don't understand
I don't think you ever could
Cause guys like you
Just ain't no good

You don't even care at all
How they feel, how far they fall
They're playin' such a reckless game
Boys like you give love a bad name
Yeah there's ice cold blood
Running through your vein
Yeah, boys like you give love a bad name
Yeah, boys like you give love a bad name

Give love a bad name
Yeah, boys like you give love a bad name
