Hysteria Lyrics

Out of touch, out of reach yeah
You could try to get closer to me
I'm in luck, I'm in deep, yeah
Hypnotized, I'm shakin' to my knees

I gotta know tonight if you're alone tonight
Can't stop this feeling, can't stop this fire

I get hysterical, hysteria
Oh can you feel it, do you believe it
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feelin', better start believin'
Cause it's a miracle, oh say you will, ooh babe
Hysteria when you're near

Out of me, into you yeah
You could hide it's just a one way street
I believe I'm in you, yeah
Open wide, that's right, dream me off my feet
Oh, believe in me

I gotta know tonight if you're alone tonight
Can't stop this feeling, can't stop this fire

I get hysterical, hysteria
Oh can you feel it, do you believe it
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feelin', better start believin'
Cause it's a miracle, oh say you will, ooh babe
Hysteria when you're near

Come on

I gotta know tonight if you're alone tonight
Can't stop this feeling, can't stop this fire
I get hysterical, hysteria
Oh can you feel it, do you believe it
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feelin', better start believin'
Cause it's a miracle, oh say you will, ooh babe
Oh, can you feel it, do you believe it?
I get hysterical, hysteria
When you get that feelin', you'd better believe it
Better start believin'
'Cos it's a miracle, oh, say you will
Oh babe, say you will

Get closer to me
Get closer baby
Closer, get closer
Closer to me

he sees a girl and he wants to have her so bad. man i can't even begin to count how many times this has happened to me. i mean hey its happened to all of us right?

soft song, but it hits hard. Joe is a fucking killer singer. i heard that on def leppard's website this was rated as their best song in a survey. that tells you something doesn't it?

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.

This was the very first Def Leppard song that I ever heard, I instantly fell in love with it. It doesn't get as much attention as it probably should as it is in the shadow of some of the other singles off of the Hysteria CD

My #1 favorite DL song (and other wise also).

"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. "

by the way, women in America are not nearly as beautiful as they used to be when this song first came out. The music genres of today should be evident of that. There is no band writing about beautiful girls anymore. Except for, maybe, rap or country. I mean, rock has lost those pretty girls from this musics era.
