[Intro]
Aaah! Ooh...

[Verse 1]
I don't want to play the waiting game
And drift away leaving an illusion
I don't want to hide, it's foolish pride
To close my eyes a touch away from wanting you
Don't try to look away when you're face to face
I see your eyes that animal emotion
You don't have to set your tender trap
It's in those eyes, it's going to happen anyway

[Chorus 1]
Moving to the rhythm of your heartbeat, yeah
I'm wanting, willing, touching you, we'll be
Moving to the rhythm of your heartbeat
Ooh babe, when you get that rhythm
Going to move into your room

[Chorus 2]
Tonight give me love with no disguise
Tonight I see the fire in your eyes
Tonight so right, this night could be dynamite
Wait and see, if it pleases you it pleases me

[Verse 2]
There's nothing I can say, it's no mystery
It's in your eyes, those eyes are where I wanted them
So give me heart and soul, I lose control
Can't stop my eyes from falling into fantasy

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
Tonight give me love with no disguise
Tonight I see the fire in your eyes
Tonight so right, this night could be dynamite
Wait and see check it out

[Chorus 2]
Tonight give me love with no disguise
Tonight I see the fire in your eyes
Tonight I want to win the greatest prize
Tonight so right, this night could be dynamite
Wait and see, if it pleases you it pleases me

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.
