You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi is featured in Transitioning, the seventh episode of Season Six. It is sung by Vocal Adrenaline, with Clint singing lead.
The song starts when Will has a voice over about how being the coach of Vocal Adrenaline is a lot different than when he was in the New Directions. He mentions that most days they start rehearsal without him. Towards the end of the song, he states how cut throat these kids are, as a member of Vocal Adrenaline is pushed onto the floor by another.
Lyrics
Clint with Vocal Adrenaline:
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame (Clint: Darling)
You give love a bad name
Clint:
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promised me heaven and put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison you can't break free
Clint with Vocal Adrenaline:
Whoa-oh, you're a loaded gun (Clint: Yeah!)
Whoa-oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Bad name)
You give love (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: You give love) a bad name
Vocal Adrenaline Boys:
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh, (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Ahhhhhh)
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh, (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Ahhhhhh)
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh, (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Ahhhhhh)
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh, (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Ahhhhhh)
Clint with Vocal Adrenaline:
Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
Whoa-oh, you're a loaded gun (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh)
Whoa-oh, there's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Bad name)
You give love, oh
Vocal Adrenaline:
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh, (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Bad name, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Woah-oh, oh, oh, oh, (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Bad name)
Ooh, Oooh, Ooooh
Clint with Vocal Adrenaline:
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Bad name)
Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Bad name)
Clint (Vocal Adrenaline):
You give love (Whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh)
You give love (Whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh) (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: A bad name)
You give love (Whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh)
You give love (Whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh) A bad name (Vocal Adrenaline Girls: Bad name)
