Def Leppard, in many ways, was the definitive hard rock band of the '80s. There were many bands that rocked harder, and were more dangerous, than the Sheffield quintet, but few others captured the spirit of the times quite as well. Emerging in the late '70s as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the group actually owed more to the glam rock and metal of the early '70s -- their sound was equal parts T. Rex, Mott the Hoople, Queen, and Led Zeppelin. By toning down their heavy riffs and emphasizing melody, Def Leppard was poised for crossover success by 1983's Pyromania, but skillfully used the fledgling MTV network to their advantage.

Foolin’ Lyrics

Def Leppard

Lady luck never smiles
So lend your love to me awhile
Do with me what you will
Break the spell take your fill
On and on we rode the storm
The flame has died and the fire has gone
Oh, this empty bed is a night alone
I realized that long ago
Is anybody out there, anybody there
Does anybody wonder, anybody care
Oh, I just gotta know
If youre really there and you really care
Cause baby Im not
F-f-f-foolin, ah f-f-foolin
F-f-f-foolin, ah f-f-foolin
Wont you stay with me awhile
Close your eyes dont run and hide
Easy love is no easy ride
Just wakin up from what we had
Could stop good love from going bad
Is anybody out there, anybody there
Does anybody wonder, anybody care
Oh, I just gotta know
If youre really there and you really care
Cause baby Im not
F-f-f-foolin, ah f-f-foolin
F-f-f-foolin, ah f-f-foolin
Oh, I just gotta know
If youre really there and you really care
Cause baby Im not
F-f-f-foolin, ah f-f-foolin
Not f-f-f-foolin, ah f-f-foolin
Im not foolin myself
Im not foolin myself
Im not foolin myself
Im not foolin myself
