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 getting themselves into
You don't even care at all
How they feel, how far they fall
You're playing such a reckless game
Boys like you give love a bad name
Yeah, 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
You're playing such a reckless game
Boys like you give love a bad name
Yeah, 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
The measure of a good man
Is something you don't understand
I don't think you ever could
Guys like you just ain't no good
You don't even care at all
How they feel, how far they fall
You're playing such a reckless game
Boys like you give love a bad name
Yeah, there's ice cold blood running through your veins
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
