You're the perfect, the perfect, you're the perfect girl
You're the perfect, the perfect, you're the perfect girl

Let me take you by the hand, I gotta tell you "wow I can"
If it's a dream, I keep dreamin' of the false light start us from above
You got me hooked and I stand the show, she's got me tight and I won't let go
If I ever get to where I'm gonna go to make I feel sure that you end up knowin'

You make you feel somebody, you're a perfect girl
I know I'd never find another if I look'd around the world
Baby you got it going on and you've got a scary damn
I've got your pieces down to tell 'cause I found my perfect girl

Baby you're the perfect, the perfect, you're the perfect girl
You're the perfect, the perfect, you're the perfect girl

Sun in the sky would refuse to shine
That wouldn't be enough to get you out of my mind
Paradise that's plain to see you
I love everything so naturally

Your beauty lives and never dies
And living through found my reason why
If I ever get to where I'm going gonna to make
I feel sure that you end up knowin'

You make you feel somebody, you're the perfect girl
I know I'd never find another if I look'd around the world
And you got it going on and you got a scary damn
I've got your pieces down to tell 'cause I found my perfect girl

Baby you're the perfect, the perfect, you're the perfect girl

I only think about you, whenever I am breathing
I only think about you, all day and every night
I'm never sad about you, oh it's all every day

I Wanna wrap my arms 'round ya I'm so glad that I found you
You don't make me feel somebody 'cause you're the perfect girl

You make you feel somebody, you're a perfect girl
I know I'd never find another if I look'd around the world
Baby you got it going on and you got a scary damn
I've got no reason to keep dreamin' 'cause I found a perfect girl

You're the perfect, the perfect, you're the perfect girl
You're the perfect, the perfect, you're the perfect girl
You're the perfect, the perfect, you're the perfect girl

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.
