[Intro]
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na

[Verse 1]
If you could feel what I feel
If I could make you see
If you could need like I need
I'd be the air that you breathe

[Chorus]
You go straight to my head as I lie in my bed
I just can't win
I can't help the state I'm in
It's only love so why is falling in it
The one thing that you can't do
It's only love then why am I hurting from it
It's only love if you're hurting too

[Bridge]
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na

[Verse 2]
If you could share my wildest thoughts
Meet me in my mind
If you could want the way that I want
You'd want me all the time

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Every dream I dream has got you in
And every minute with you means everything
I wanna take you there where you've never been
In my dreams

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Na na na na na na na na na
It's only love if you're hurting too
Na na na na na na na na na
It's only love if you're hurting too

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.
