Def Leppard – Burnout lyrics
Released on the cd-single for "goodbye"

Friday night and I crashed your party
Saturday night and I crashed your car
Sunday night when you threw me out
Couldn't believe I even got that far
Look out of your bedroom window
And tell me what you see
Who's that standing in the shadows
Oh baby you belong to me, yeah

Place your bets cause I got a good feeling
Hey over there, are you lookin' my way
Electrified like a shock to the system
You walk right through my dna

If you could just walk for a mile in my shoes
If you don't use loose your mind you got no mind to lose

Bang bang gonna shoot you down
I got me a gun but I gotta get a better one
Sweetheart.....buzzing like a fly
Lock you, like a thief..... (? ? ) lullaby
High hopes are sinking like a stone
I swallow my pride but I'm choking on a fishbone
Oh my, I gotta try, so step right up

I'll give you what you want
It's what you need
You know I'm gonna give you what you want
And what you need, yeah

Head over heels and it's making me nervous
Get on my knees and it's making me worse
There's no way out so I pay lip-service
If this thing is bigger than the both of us

If you could just walk for a mile in my shoes
If you don't use loose your mind you got no mind to lose

Bang bang gonna shoot you down
I got me a gun but I gotta get a better one
Sweetheart.....buzzing like a fly
Lock you, like a thief..... (? ? ) lullaby
High hopes are sinking like a stone
I swallow my pride but I'm choking on a fishbone
Oh my, I gotta try, so step right up

I'll give you what you want
It's what you need
You know I'm gonna give you what you want
And what you need, yeah

Bang bang gonna shoot you down
I got me a gun but I gotta get a better one
Oh my, I gotta try, so step right up

I'll give you what you want
It's what you need
You know I'm gonna give you what you want
And what you need, yeah
You know I'm gonna give you what you want
You know I'm gonna give you what you want
You know I'm gonna give you what you want
And what you need, yeah
