Love And Affection Lyrics
You got the fire, baby, I got the heat, can you handle it?
I got the time, babe, you got the need, oh surrender it
Oh, it's a passion crime with a danger sign, oh, can you handle it?
Yeah
You're just another girl, I'm just another man, it's just another night
Whoa
Whoa yeah
Don't gimme love and affection
Or what you think it should be
Don't gimme love, the wrong reason
Yeah, it don't matter to me
I got the heart, babe, you got the beat, take a chance on me
We got the night babe
We got the dream, oh imagine it
Oh, it's a passion crime with a danger sign
Oh, can you handle it?

It was so good and i put it on repeat
[Edit: -]
good ballad, i liek the ryhtym and feel it has, good late night listening
Fudge yes PinkFloyd96!!!! This is the truest of hidden classics!! Good call!!
Honestly, I am listening to this song for the first time right now as I type. I mean, REALLY listening to it. And I've had the Hysteria album since its initial release. Amazing how many overlooked gems you can find on albums years later.
This is an OK song. Not the greatest.
What the hell is he talking about, though? He doesn't need her affection or her love? What is it he wants? Is this just a one-night stand sorta' thing? They're just "another man" and "another girl."
Simple. Sex. Promiscuous-no-strings-attached-plain-ole-sex.At the end there's a line that says"Can you park the car"?

You shouldn't lie like that unless you want to be the only one who believes it.

i luv this song very much..............but honestly the sound and lyrics are similar to "stand up", it feels like another version of it. i know this song came way b4 Stand up
@aeroshakeel In one way you’re right. This song was “supposed” to be the B side to Love and Affection on Hysteria. Def Leppard didn’t feel like this song was good enough, so they put it on a shelf for awhile. Later on when they were about to finish Adrenalize they decided this song would fit in on the overall sound of the album. Sad that they NEVER played this song live... Everytime I listen to this song, I turn it up

I think its a song about sex, about lust, about frustration. Simple as that.
Its similar to 'have you ever needed someone so bad', except this one is more, 'have you ever needed some sex so bad?'
It's a man with only one desire, sex. He doesn't want any talk, doesn't even want to speak, just fuck. No cuddling, no getting to know her thougts, just physical release with an incedibly attractive girl (groupie?).
The subject completely contradics with the beatiful metal ballad flavor to the music.
This is one of Leppard's most inspired pieces. This group was one of a kind and should be on everyone's playlists.
Thier massively talented musicianship and composing skills, and inspiration to endure thier tragedies in order to reach their dream is an awesome story.
Maybe i'm biased, I was in high school when Leppard made Pyromania and Hysteria.
I agree with Priaprism's interpretation. The guy just wants sex, does not want committment, love or affection, any of the deeper stuff.
Strange way to end an album. Hardly a ballad as most of you seem to be suggesting. More of an ant-ballad.
As with with other songs, again interesting to note that the love is between a man and girl, not a man and woman. For example also in Make Love Like A Man. They use it too often to not actually mean it.
