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.

Four Letter Word Lyrics

Def Leppard

Aint just your kiss, k I s s that I miss
Aint just the way that you squeeze me tight
If theres a wish at the top of my list
Uh, is that you be there every day and every night
I found a new four letter word
The sweetest sound that I ever heard
I found a new four letter word
Lust can kinda be nice
But it aint l o v e, indeedy
All right
Oh when the rush that Im dreamin ofs not enough
You touch and I cant control myself
You put the glide back into my stride
Oh yeah, you move me like-a nobody else
I found a new four letter word
The sweetest sound that I ever heard
I found a new four letter word
Lust can kinda be nice
But it aint l o v e, oh yeah
Let me spell it out, cmon
Youre all Im looking for
You aint the girl next door
Youre really so much more
You put me to shame
And then you walk right in
You know I cant explain
You do that lovin thing
All over again
Live life just like a wild ride
More like a landslide
Take me away
New four letter word
The sweetest sound that I ever heard
I found a new four letter word
The sweetest sound that I ever heard
New four letter word
And baby, the sweetest sound that I ever heard
New four letter word
Hey, lust can kinda be nice
But it aint l o v e
