[Verse 1]
Twenty-one years and you answer the call
Hollywood screams from your bedroom wall
You can't get away from the thrill of it all

[Chorus]
Bye-bye baby
Get me out of here I'm done
A girl gone crazy
You ain't fooling anyone
You can't sing can't dance
Can't fit in your pants
You're a bad actress
You can't run, can't walk, got to learn how to talk
You're a bad actress

[Verse 2]
Come on down and walk the moonlit mile
You've got the perfect teeth
You've got the perfect smile
You do it all wrong but you do it in style
Oh yeah

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
You can't read, can't write
Got to learn how to fight
You're a bad actress
You're too cold, too old
And the story's been told about
The bad actress

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
You can't run, can't walk
Got to learn how to talk
You're a bad actress
You can't read, can't write
Got to learn how to fight
You're a bad actress
You're too cold, too old
And the story's been told about
The the bad actress

[Outro]
Oh Yeah
Bad actress
Oooh
Bad actress
No good
Bad actress
Too bad
What's a girl like you doing in a nice place like this?

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.
