"Photograph" lyrics
"Photograph"
Huh!
I'm outta luck, outta love
Got a photograph, picture of
Passion killer, you're too much
You're the only one I wanna touch
I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild and free,
So far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy
Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh-oh, look what you've done
Photograph
I don't want your photograph
I don't need your photograph
All I've got is a photograph
But it's not enough
I'd be your lover, if you were there
Put your hurt on me, if you dare
Such a woman, you got style
You make every man feel like a child, oh
You got some kinda hold on me
You're all wrapped up in mystery
So wild and free
So far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy
Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh-oh, look what you've done
I gotta have your
Photograph
I don't want your photograph
I don't need your photograph
All I've got is a photograph
You've gone straight to my head
Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh-oh, look what you've done
I gotta have your
I gotta have your
Photograph
I don't want your photograph
I don't need your photograph
All I've got is a photograph
I wanna touch you
Oh
Photograph
Photograph
Your photograph
Photograph
Photograph
I need more than your photograph
I'm outta love
Photograph
I'm outta luck
Photograph
You're the only one
Photograph
I wanna touch
Photograph

The lead single from the band's third studio album.
The
music video shows several appearances of a Marilyn Monroe impersonator because the protagonist sings about how he wants more of a celebrity than just her photograph.
In an interview for songfacts.com, Joe Elliott explained this song's success, "It went through the roof because of MTV. Once people started getting cable all over the States, this fledgling MTV thing took off. We got fantastic bounce-back from people watching it on MTV and then asking the radio stations to play it. The two started bouncing back from each other request-wise, and the song just went crazy."
The song was used in promotion for the DVD release of the film "Blades of Glory" (2007) in 2006.
Def Leppard performed "Photograph" with
Taylor Swift on CMT's show Crossroads in 2008.
In 2009, VH1 named this song the 13th greatest hard-rock song of all time.
