Armageddon It Lyrics by Def Leppard

Verse 1

You better come inside when you’re ready to
But no chance if you don’t wanna dance
You like a four letter words when you’re ready to
But then you won’t ’cause you know that you can
You got it
But are you getting it?
You say that love is won when you get some
But then your finger won’t trigger the gun

You know you can’t stop it, so don’t rock it
You know you got it
Hey, but are you getting it?
Ooh, really getting it?
Come get it from me

You flash your bedroom eyes like a jumping Jack
Then play it pretty with a pat on the back
