About Heaven Is

"Heaven Is" is a 1993 single by British hard rock band Def Leppard from their 1992 multi-platinum album Adrenalize. The single reached number 13 in the UK. In a statement on the Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection and Best of Def Leppard compilation albums, the band's lead singer Joe Elliott described the song's backing vocals on the chorus sounded much like The Beach Boys, and said that it was the first time Def Leppard went that far. He also described the song as being "More Queen than Queen". Lead guitarist Phil Collen said that this song had been around for years and that parts of it were taken from the song "Armageddon It".

Hey boys, Miss Magic is back
No Hollywood waste or tinsel trash
Street kid, she's no stray cat
Heaven on legs she's feline flash
Takes a good woman to play a good man
And no one plays like heaven can

She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
Call you right back
When I get home
Better watch out
When we're all alone

Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad

Hey guys, Miss Magic is mine
No silicone smile she's a vintage wine
Bombshell blond, red lipstick on
Aquiline fine, she's a real wild one

She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
Call you right back
When I get home
Better watch out
When we're all alone

Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad
Heaven is a girl that makes dreams come true
Oh, no one does it good like heaven do, no

She got the rhythm to drive me crazy
She got the rhythm of love

She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
The lights are out
But there's somebody home
Better watch out when
We're all alone

Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad
Heaven is a girl that makes dreams come true
Oh, no one does it good like heaven do, no

Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl she makes dreams come true
And no one does it good like heaven do
That voodoo that you do
