Lyrics

"Pour Some Sugar on Me"
Def Leppard

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 a-innocent sugar me
Yeah, yeah, so 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, mannequin, rhythm of-a-love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up (loosen up)
A-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 a-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)
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 (so hot), sticky sweet
From my 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)
(Pour some sugar on me)
Yeah, sugar me
