Women
Def Leppard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the beginning God made the land
Then He made the water and creatures, then He made man
He was born with a passion, love and hate
A restless spirit with a need for a mate
But there was something that was missing, something lost
So he came with the answer, here's what it cost
One part love, one part wild
One part lady, one part child

I give you
(Women, women) lots of pretty women
(Men, men) they can't live without them
(Women, women) lots of pretty women
(Men, men) they can't live without them

And in the garden, lust began
The animal instinct, the wanton man
She fed him with a hunger, an appetite
And fillin' with emotion he took a bite
It was one part love, one part child
One part lover, one part wild

I give you
(Women, women) lots of pretty women
(Men, men) they can't live without them
(Women, women) lots of pretty women
(Men, men) they can't live without them

Skin on skin, let the love begin
Women

It was one part love, one part wild
One part lover, one part child
A whole lotta fire, a little bit of ice
A whole lotta something you can't sacrifice

I give you
Hair, eyes, skin on skin
Legs, (legs) thighs, (thighs) what's that spell? (what's that spell?_

(Women, women) oh, oh
(Women, women)
(Women, women) callin' every girl
(Women, women) all around the world




(Women) women, oh we can't live without them
(Women, women)

Overall Meaning

Def Leppard's "Women" is a tribute to the power and allure of the female sex that explores the deep-seated attraction and desire for women that seem to be innate in men. The opening lyric pays homage to the creation story in the Bible, with the creation of man and woman being the pinnacle of God's creation. The lyrics continue to develop the idea of innate desire, with the singer suggesting that men simply can't live without women. The line "She fed him with a hunger, an appetite" speaks to the almost primal need men feel for women, and the passionate chorus underscores the idea of women being a vital and irresistible force in men's lives.


The lyrics of "Women" are overtly sexual and suggest that women are objects of male desire. However, the song also celebrates the power and strength of women. This is apparent in the lines "One part love, one part wild/ One part lady, one part child," which suggest that women are complex and multifaceted creatures. This is later reinforced by the verse "A whole lotta fire, a little bit of ice/ A whole lotta something you can't sacrifice," which suggests that women are both passionate and enigmatic.


Overall, "Women" is a raucous anthem that celebrates the power and allure of the female sex. It has been interpreted as both sexist and empowering, and the lyrics are undeniably controversial. However, the song is an enduring classic that continues to be loved by fans of hard rock and heavy metal.
