"Hysteria" lyrics

"Hysteria"

Out of touch, out of reach yeah
You could try to get closer to me
I'm in love, I'm in deep, yeah
Hypnotized, I'm shakin' to my knees

I gotta know tonight
If you're alone tonight
Can't stop this feeling
Can't stop this fire

Oh, I get hysterical, hysteria
Oh can you feel it, do you believe it?
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feelin', better start believin'
'Cause it's a miracle, oh say you will, ooh babe
Hysteria when you're near
Out of me, into you yeah
You can hide it's just a one way street
Oh, I believe I'm in you, yeah
Open wide, that's right, dream me off my feet
Oh, believe in me

I gotta know tonight
If you're alone tonight
Can't stop this feeling
Can't stop this fire

Oh, I get hysterical, hysteria, oh, can you feel it, do you believe it?
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feeling better start believing
'Cause it's a miracle, oh, say you will, ooh babe
Hysteria when you're near

I got to know tonight
If you're alone tonight
Can't stop this feeling
Can't stop this fire

Oh, I get hysterical, hysteria, oh, can you feel it, do you believe it?
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feeling better start believing
'Cause it's a miracle, oh, say you will, ooh babe
Hysteria when you're near

I get hysterical, hysteria
When you get that feeling, you'd better believe it
Better start believing, because it's a miracle
Oh, say you will, oh babe, say you will

Get closer to me, get closer baby
Baby, closer, get closer, closer to me

Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen said in a SongFacts.com interview what "Hysteria" means, "The song really is about finding spiritual enlightenment. Not many people know that because it sounds like just getting hysterical, but it's actually about that. It's about finding this deeper thing, whether you believe it or not."
Lead singer Joe Elliott revealed in an interview with Kaos2000 magazine, "The song 'Hysteria' has 11 guitar parts. What we did is made a hybrid of them into two - the ones that people could really hear and the ones that aren't that important to hear live."
An acoustic version of this track was performed by Joe Elliott and Phil Collen on the "Hysteria" ablum's edition of VH1's Classic Albums released in 2002.
In 2012, Def Leppard re-recorded this song along with "Rock of Ages" and "Pour Some Sugar On Me" for the digital release on the 19th of March 2013.
