[Intro]
I want to touch you
Until we're stuck like glue
I want to touch you, yeah

[Verse 1]
I get high on you
I'm on fire over you
And I can't let you go, I can't let you go
I got love on the rise and I burn like a fire
Got my eye on the prize, got love in my sights
And I can't let you go, I can't let you go

[Pre-Chorus]
Give me no reasons, give me no rhymes
Give me that feeling all of the time

[Chorus 1]
I want to touch you
Until we're stuck like glue
I want to touch you, yeah
Baby, that is true

[Chorus 2]
I want to touch you
Nobody else will do, no
I want to touch you
Because a little too much
Could never be enough, no

[Verse 2]
I get wired on you and I thrill to your touch
Yeah, I excite over you
Can't stop this landslide of love
No no I can't let you go, I can't let you go, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah
Give me no reasons, give me no rhymes
Give me that feeling all of the time

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]

[Outro]
I wanna touch you
Nobody else but you, baby
I want to touch you
Until we get enough
I want to touch you
Yeah baby let's go ride
I wanna touch you
Baby, you excite
I want to touch, touch you
Because a little too much
Could never be enough, now

In 1977, Rick Savage, Tony Kenning, and Pete Willis were students at a secondary school in Sheffield, England. They had a band called Atomic Mass. Lead singer Joe Elliott joined later that year, and suggested a new band name. Within 10 years, that name, Def Leppard, became one of the most recognised in English rock music. To date, they have released more than 40 singles.

Def Leppard was a definitive part of the new wave of British heavy metal bands in the late 1970s. Their first three albums had tremendous momentum, each outselling the one before. Then, after the release of Pyromania in 1983, drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. The band stuck by him through his recovery and retraining.

When Def Leppard came back, they came back hard. Their fourth album, 1987’s Hysteria, was a hard rock masterpiece that took the world by storm. By then the music video had matured as a film style, and Hysteria’s singles and videos had enough pop, sex, colour, and glam to put it over the top. Hysteria was one of the biggest-selling albums of the 1980s.
