Hysteria Lyrics

Cover art for Hysteria lyrics by Def Leppard

I agree with masterofpuppets80. This is a song about a girl who drives the guy crazy because he wants her so bad.

That's why he's "gotta know tonight, if you're alone tonight." He'd go even more batty if he knew she was with someone else.

He's pouring his soul out to this girl.

The guy and the girl live hundreds of miles apart. They were together briefly and then they were separated for whatever reason. Maybe he is with someone else now but he is in love with his lost love, the girl he sings about.

He was with the girl for a few months and he fell in love with her. They were separated for some reason. Now they live hundreds of miles apart. He is with someone else now but he loves and desires the girl.
