Step inside
Walk this way
You and me babe
Hey hey

Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man? (your man)

Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light
Television lover, baby, go all night
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah, yeah

Now c'mon, take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon, fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
I can't get enough

I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet, yeah

Listen, red light, yellow light, green-a-light go
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequine, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up (loosen up)
Loosen up

You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little
Tease a little more
Easy operator come a knockin' on my door
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah, yeah
Give a little more

Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon, fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough

I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet, yeah

You got the peaches, I got the cream
Sweet to taste, saccharine
'Cause I'm hot (hot), say what, sticky sweet
From my head (head), my head, to my feet

Do you take sugar? One lump or two?

Take a bottle (take a bottle), shake it up (shake it up)
Break the bubble (break it up), break it up

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough

Pour some sugar on me
Oh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
Get it, come get it
Pour your sugar on me (oh-ooh)
Pour some sugar on me
Yeah, sugar me

    odd that nobody so far has actually commented on the lyrics of the song. anyway, i have two takes on the meaning of these lyrics. one, the phrase "Pour some sugar on me" i think might mean, "Give me all your affection" (affection being sweet like sugar) but in an extreme way - POUR it on me. second, he might mean it literally, as a kinky sex thing, like where she might put chocolate syrup on him then lick it off ("Take a bottle, shake it up " being the bottle of chocolate syrup).

    First off what's with all the 15 year olds getting into Def Leppard??? I mean not that it isn't great that the younger generation is trying to understand there was life before the bullshit they call music (read pop and rap) nowadays, but wow the first page and a half wasn't alive when this song came out, hell some of them were barely able to understand English when The Vault came out! Secondly, what's with virtually no one saying what they think the song MEANS???? Isn't that the entire point of this? To debate song meanings? Thirdly, Ozzy is a singer, not a band. You take Ozzy Osbourne out of the picture and they are not a band. It's as simple as that. The musicians that play behind Ozzy are just that musicians, not a quote unquote band, like Aerosmith, or ha, Def Leppard. Fourth, why in the hell is anyone comparing Def Leppard to Ozzy? It's like comparing Bon Jovi to Guns N' Roses, the number of similarities is so small is laughable. I really think that the song is about sex, and about seduction. The kind of raw animal seduction you often see in bars. Nothing romantic about it. Just hormones raging.

    But it IS in the top ten...I mean Women is a better song...so is Rock Brigade, but it's still a hellarockin tune, and everyone gets into it when you play it at a party. And unlike you two I WAS around when this album came out...I was 7, but I wore out my Hysteria tape on the ol' ghettoblaster.

    Ya know who really gives a flying freak if you were out when this song came out or not? I'm 15 and I obviously wasn't around, but who cares? Can't we like it too? I'll admit, Def Leppard wasn't my favorite band, wasn't my type of music at all really, until I saw Def Leappard: Hysteria on VH1. That movie freakin rocks and it was their music on the movie that totaly got me into them. All of their socks kick ass if you take the time to listen to them with an open mind.

    I was listening to the radio in the morning once, and the dj announced that a couple was getting married and they couldnt decide on a weeding song, so they figured theyd pick two. Well, they picked this one and Christina Aguilera's Dirrrty and asked the radio to play to for them. I thought it was funny.

    My Taekwondo instructors play this all the time while we spar. They laugh at me when I stop sparring and sing it perfectly. This song was written atleast ten years before I was born, maybe more. I love DL even if a lot of my friends have never heard of them. This song is one of my faves, it's so catchy and gets stuck in my head.
