[Intro]
Huh!

[Verse 1]
I'm outta luck, outta love
Gotta photograph, picture of
Passion killer, you're too much
You're the only one I wanna touch

[Verse 2]
I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild and free, so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh-oh, look what you've done

[Chorus]
(Photograph)
I don't want your (Photograph)
I don't need your (Photograph)
All I've got is a photograph
But it's not enough

[Verse 3]
I'd be your lover, if you were there
Put your hurt on me, if you dare
Such a woman, you got style
You make every man feel like a child, oh

[Verse 4]
You got some kinda hold on me
You're all wrapped up in mystery
So wild and free, so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh-oh, look what you've done

[Chorus]
I gotta have your (Photograph)
I don't want your (Photograph)
I don't need your (Photograph)
All I've got is a photograph
You've gone straight to my head

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh-oh, look what you've done
I gotta have your

[Chorus]
I gotta have your (Photograph)
I don't want your (Photograph)
I don't need your (Photograph)
All I've got is a photograph
I want to touch you

[Outro]
Ohhh
(Photograph, photograph)
Ohh yeah, photograph
(Photograph, photograph)
I need more, baby
(Photograph)
I'm all outta love
(Photograph)
I wanna love
(Photograph)
You're the only one
(Photograph)
I want to touch

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.
