[Verse 1]
Your kind of woman gotta heart of stone
But watch it break when I get you alone
Take a chance, come lay down with me
Oh, I want to make it
Slow and steady never lost the race
Don't stop running, I'm a fool for the chase
Play the game, surrender to me
Baby, I don't want to fake it

[Chorus]
Is it any wonder
You got me coming under fire?
Coming like thunder
You know you make me walk the wire

[Verse 2]
It's so easy to put on a show
Your body says yes but you won't let it go
But my passion it won't slip away
Oh I'm not going crazy

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Under fire
You got me coming, under fire
You got me coming, under fire
Oh yeah, I'm coming, under fire
You body says yes but baby, please let it go
Let it go, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
You got me, I'm coming my back to the wall
No bed of roses, ain't no bed at all
I'm walking the wire, I stumble and fall
I got my message but I ain't gonna crawl

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
Under fire
You got me coming, under fire
You got me coming, under fire
Oh yeah, I'm coming, under fire

Def Leppard

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.
