Pour-Some-Sugar-On-Me
Def-Leppard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 innocent sugar me, yeah, yeah

Now 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, mannequine, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up (loosen up)
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 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
Oh, 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 (hot), say what, sticky sweet
From my head (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 (oh-ooh)




Pour some sugar on me
Yeah, sugar me

I think the greatest thing about this band is not their music, but the fact that they didn't ditch their drummer after he lost an arm in a car accident. That's true friendship and loyalty.

Iโ€™m a black guy who went to an ethically diverse high school in the 89โ€™s and I remember listening to this song on the radio and watching the music video on TV!

@user-jn7bq8wh1e

Ethically? Or ethnically?

@machowell6910

Straight loyalty when youโ€™re speaking of the drummer, those guys are the best

@heathermallory2096

This band refused to go on without Rick! After he lost his arm they had a special drum kit made for him and said he picked it up real fast. Most loyal band out there during this decade. โคโค
