This heavy metal group formed in Los Angeles, California, USA, and featured Stephen Pearcy (vocals), Robbin Crosby (guitar), Warren DeMartini (guitar), Juan Croucier (bass) and Bobby 'The Blotz' Blotzer (drums). They evolved out of '70s band Mickey Ratt, transmuting into their present form in 1983, with a hint of pop about their brand of metal similar to Cheap Trick or Aerosmith. They released a self-titled mini-album in 1983 on a local label, and struck up a close personal friendship with members of Mötley Crüe which no doubt helped them to sign to Atlantic the following year. They made their breakthrough with their first full album, OUT OF THE CELLAR, which stayed in the Billboard Top 20 for six months. They toured with Ozzy Osbourne before joining a Billy Squier jaunt where they were apparently 'thrown off' because they were more popular than the headline act.

What I'm After Lyrics
Ratt
If you had the feelin'
That I'd be back again
And I've been out there dealin'
I thought it'd never end
And you know what you're missin'
And I know what you want
Just take a look and listen
Don't keep me hangin' on
You know what I'm sayin'
There's no point in playin'
I'm after you
Can you hear me callin'?
Baby quit your stallin'
It's you
You're what I'm after
Gonna get to you anyway
You're what I'm after
And nothin's gonna turn me away
It's been a long time comin'
And now I can't pretend
Now you can stop your runnin'
From your long lost friend
And you know what I'm missin'
And you know what I want
Just take a look and listen
Don't keep me hangin' on
You know what I'm sayin'
There's no point in playin'
I'm really missin' you
Can you hear me callin'?
Baby quit your stallin'
It's you
You're what I'm after
I'm gonna get to you anyway
You're what I'm after, you
Every time I see your face
You're what I'm after
And nothin's gonna turn me away
You're what I'm after, you
And now I'm after you
Years go by
How time flies
And now I've got to reach you
Feels like it's never been before
Before
You're what I'm after
I ain't playin' no fun and games
You're what I'm after, you
And nothin's gonna turn me away
You're what I'm after
Every time I see your face
You're what I'm after, you
And now I'm after you
You're what I'm after
And now I'm after you
You're what I'm after
Hey girl, and I'm after you
