Comin' Under Fire
Def Leppard · Pyromania [Deluxe Edition] [2009]
Our kind of woman gotta heart of stone
But watch it break when I get you alone
Take a chance, come lay down with me
Oh, I wanna make it
Slow and steady never lost the race
Don't stop runnin', I'm a fool for the chase
Play the game, surrender to me
Baby, I don't wanna fake it
Is it any wonder, you got me comin' under fire?
Comin' like thunder, you know you make me walk the wire
It's so easy to put on a show
Your body says yes but you won't let it go
But my passion it won't slip away
You got me, I'm cornered, my back to the wall
No bed of roses, ain't no bed at all
I'm walkin' the wire, I stumble and fall
I got the message but I ain't gonna crawl
But watch it break when I get you alone
Take a chance, come lay down with me
Oh, I wanna make it
Slow and steady never lost the race
Don't stop runnin', I'm a fool for the chase
Play the game, surrender to me
Baby, I don't wanna fake it
Is it any wonder, you got me comin' under fire?
Comin' like thunder, you know you make me walk the wire
It's so easy to put on a show
Your body says yes but you won't let it go
But my passion it won't slip away
You got me, I'm cornered, my back to the wall
No bed of roses, ain't no bed at all
I'm walkin' the wire, I stumble and fall
I got the message but I ain't gonna crawl
Comin' Under Fire

Released during the height of the glam metal era, the song showcases the band's signature blend of melodic hooks, driving rhythms, and Phil Collins' distinctive vocals. As a staple of their discography, the track exemplifies the polished production and anthemic quality that characterized their work in the early 1980s. It remains a powerful representation of the genre's evolution, capturing the energy and attitude that made Def Leppard a cultural force for decades to come.
