Classic Rock/help with a song

Question
all right, i heard this song on the radio and i really want to know what it is. i dont have many lyrics for it but i know its most likely a 80 metal band because of the high pitched singing and heavy guitar. in the begining they yell "whoa" and it kinda sounds like a cowbell is getting hit. the chorus goes- i dont want to(fall in love) and i dont need to(fall in love). i think it just repeats that. then at one point of the song before the guitar solo it the lead singer says "i wanna touch you". if you could help me out, that would be great. thanks


Answer
Well,the "i wanna touch you" referance would immediately lead me to Def Leppard's "Photograph",but that would be way too easy!Because your description of the chorus doesnt match up to Photograph,I am wondering about another band.I will get back to you asap,Chad.However,upon further thought,you may just be hearing the chorus wrong,so check out the song,and let me know if its what you are talking about.As I play the song in my head,I can see how the chorus may be heard as something else.Let me know,and if its not the song,I will research further.Def Leppard,album Pyromania,Song Photograph.
