I believe that there is something deep inside
That shouldn't be from time to time
I sure found out, thought love was such a crime
The more you care, the more you fall

No need to worry, no need to turn away
'Cause it don't matter, anyway
Baby

Ooh, I miss you in a heartbeat
Ooh, I miss you right away
Ooh, I miss you in a heartbeat
'Cause it ain't love if it don't feel that way

When we touch, I just lose my self-control
A sad sensation I can't hide
To love is easy; it ain't easy to walk away
I keep the faith, and there's a reason why

No need to worry, no need to turn away
'Cause it don't matter, anyway
Baby

Ooh, I miss you in a heartbeat
Ooh, I miss you right away
Ooh, I miss you in a heartbeat
'Cause it ain't love if it don't feel that way

Now, I ain't big on promises
But I'll be true to you
'Cause I'd do about anything, yeah
For someone like
Baby, for you

Ooh, I miss you in a heartbeat
Ooh, I miss you right away
Ooh, I miss you in a heartbeat
'Cause it ain't love if it don't feel that way

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.
