Yeah

[Verse 1]
Cool woman, cool eyes
You got me hypnotized
So head down, get a rhythm
Stop your stalling and your bitching

I'm rock steady, I'm still shaking
I'm ready for the taking
So make your move, yeah, make me
And get ready for the big "C"

[Chorus]
(Let it rock) Yeah
(Let it roll) Let it
(Let it go) Let it go
You gotta (Let it rock) Come on
(Let it roll) Yeah, just let it go

[Verse 2]
Slow down, hold on
You're too fast, too strong
Take it easy, take it slow
Make it last, don't let go

We're one body, it's one way
You're not leaving, come on stay
So get down on your knees
And let me know you're eager to please

[Chorus]
(Let it rock) Yeah
(Let it roll) Let it
(Let it go) Let it go
You gotta (Let it rock) Come on
(Let it roll) Yeah, just let it go

[Bridge]
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

[Verse 3]
Cool woman, cool eyes
You got me hypnotized
Slow down, hold on
You're too fast, too strong

I need a woman, a woman to love
One good woman
And you got what I want, what I want

Ah yeah

[Bridge]
Slow down, hold on, you're much too fast
You're much too strong
Take it slow, make it last
Take it easy, not too fast
Don't let go, no

I'm rock steady, but still shaking
And I'm ready for the taking
So make your move, yeah make me
And get ready for the big "C", yeah

[Chorus]
(Let it rock) Let it
(Let it roll) Let it
(Let it go) Let it

Let it (Let it rock)
Let it (Let it go)
Let it (Let it go)
Let it go

(Let it rock) Yeah
(Let it roll) Let it
(Let it go) Let it go
Let it (Let it rock) Come on
(Let it roll)
(Let it go) Ah yeah

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.
