Man EnoughDef Leppard

Released: October 30, 2015

Songwriter: Joe Elliott Phil Collen

Producer: Ronan McHugh Def Leppard

You got this reputation for calling all the shots
I got your invitation so show me what you got

Are you man enough?

You got me in a cold sweat with a lingering caress
A bullet in your chamber with no return address
If you can keep a secret then we can make a deal
Put your finger on your trigger and show me how you feel

When you’re moving to the music you got voodoo in your hips
And the devil would approve it so the question on my lips

Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
To be mine
To be mine
Be my girl

You got my full attention when you’re movin’ ‘cross the floor
Divine intervention comes a knockin’ on my door
I got no time for talking, just need some company
Let your fingers do the walking all over me

When you’re moving to the music you got voodoo in your eyes
Let the devil try to prove it but the question will arise

Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
To be mine
To be mine
Be my girl

Show me down the river
Show me down the river
Show me down the river
Show me down the river
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?

Are you man enough to be my girl?
Are you man enough? (Are you man enough?)
Are you man enough? (Are you man enough?)
Are you man enough? (Are you man enough?)
To be mine
To be mine
Be my girl

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.
