She doesn’t give love a bad name.

Jon Bon Jovi revealed his wife Dorothea Hurley’s high school yearbook love note that she wrote him during a recent appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”

The musician, 62, recalled that he fell “in love with the girl who was sitting next to [him] in history class.”

The message read: “John, write a sequal [sic] to ‘Bobby’s Girl’ but name it ‘She’s Johnny’s Now. Love, Dot.”

According to the rocker, he actually never calls Hurley by that nickname, but did explain the song she referred to.

“There was a song I had written called ‘Bobby’s Girl,’” he told host Kelly Clarkson. “It was one of the first original songs I had written. She was dating my buddy Bobby. He went off to join the service, as did my other two best friends. They joined the Navy. And it was my senior year of high school, and I just fell in love.”

The Bon Jovi frontman and Hurley would go on to marry at the Graceland Chapel in Las Vegas in 1989. More recently, however, the singer revealed that he was “not a saint” during their 35-year marriage.

“I got away with murder,” he told Good Morning America’s Michael Strahan during their hourlong interview special, “Halfway There,” on ABC in April. “I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star, I’m not a saint. You know, I’m not saying that there weren’t 100 girls in my life — I’m Jon Bon Jovi. It was pretty good.”

“But if you think I was ever going to jeopardize my — anything for believing the narcissist in me was real? What a stupid thing to do. What kind of excesses does a man need that’s going to fuel that fire? It’s just not worth it.”

“There is no doubt in my mind that this world revolves because of her,” he went on about his wife. “Because of what she did to keep the kids right, what she does to keep me right, what we do together to keep it right. No doubt about it. She’s certainly not afraid to call me out on something, but she’s also there when I fall. And I’m there for her when she falls. No matter where I went in my career, the ups or the downs, we went there together.”

Days earlier, he also opened up about their marriage to the Independent while promoting his Hulu doc, “Thank you, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story.”

“These are all the wonderful clichés of rock stardom. It’s about never lying about having been a saint, but not being a fool enough to [mess] up the home life, either,” he said at the time.

The couple have four children together.
