[Intro]
Hey, ahh
Ahh, yeah yeah

[Verse 1]
Had your name all tattooed on my heart
It's gone, how could this be wrong
It's unbelievable, unbelievable
Just the picture of me
Left out in this Hollywood Babylon
Was unbelievable, unbelievable

[Chorus 1]
So let my greatest fear walk out the door, ahh
This ain't what we're fighting for, ahh

[Chorus 2]
You don't say that it's over, over
Never thought this could die
But you speak without words
Making me feel so damn good, 'bye
It's unbelievable

[Verse 2]
Girl, I picture how the ghost of you
Would follow me everywhere
It's undeniable, unbelievable
If I couldn't feel your velvet lips
Your fingers run through my hair
It's inconceivable, unbelievable

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Verse 3]
Did you really think about it
What we could be missing
I found it so hard to believe, yeah
Unbelievable, it's unbelievable, yeah

[Chorus 2][x2]

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.
