Joan Jett And The Blackhearts Album

(Joan Jett/Kenny Laguna)

Everyone that I can see is gettin' right in tow
Changin' songs to be on the radio
Now there are things that I believe in
I'd never sell my soul
It always feels so good to hear good music

I need good music--Good good music
It always feels so good to hear good music

How can I get back to you when I'm so far from home
In any port or foreign shore-alone
So many ways to be betrayed believe me when I say
I think that I would die without good music

I need good music--Good good music
It always feels so good to hear good music
I know that I would die without good music

I need good music--Good good music
It always feels so good to hear good music
I know that I would die without good music

And even though you might think it's funny
I couldn't care if there ain't no money
I'm a little mixed up
But I'll be alright
If I can hear a loud guitar all night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I need good music--Good good music
It always feels so good to hear good music
It always feels so good to hear good music

(Joan Jett/Bob Halligan/Kenny Laguna)

I been knockin' the walls down
Tryin' to get to you
But I won't wait forever
Ya gotta let me thru
Now I been diplomatic
But I don't know what for
'Cuz you hurt me, now just watch me
'Cuz I won't take no more

This means war--and you will see it's senseless
This means war--and soon you'll be defenseless
'Cuz you can't win this war

There will be no replacements
Ya better get your gun
Because I'm comin' after you
For everything you done
And then when you are captured
It won't be like before
'Cuz you teased me, deceived me
But this is what's in store

This means war--and you will see it's senseless
This means war--and soon you'll be defenseless
'Cuz you can't win this war

You avoid reality in the calm before the storm
It hurts me so to fight with you
But since you closed the door

This means war--and you will see it's senseless
This means war--and soon you'll be defenseless
'Cuz you can't win this war

This means war--and you will see it's senseless
This means war--and soon you'll be defenseless
'Cuz you can't win this war

You can't win this war
You can't win this war

(Jonathan Richman)

One two three four five six
Roadrunner roadrunner
Going faster miles an hour
Gonna ride by the Stop-n-Shop
With the radio on
I'm in love with the modern world
I'm in touch I'm a modern girl
New York City when it's late at night
I got the radio on
I'm like a roadrunner yeah

Said hello to the spirit of ol' 1956
It was pacing in the woods next to '57
Well the highway was my only friend
Cuz I went by so quick
Suburban trees were out there
And consequently it smelt like heaven
So I say roadrunner once roadrunner twice
I'm in love with the modern world
So let's go out all night aw

New York City when it's late at night

Up to the G.W. Bridge down by the power lines

It's so exciting here with the skyscrapers
In the dark

I feel in touch I feel alive
With 50,000 watts of power

Hey don't play with my brain
We are all the same
Save your flattery
Just take it easy with me

If ya want my luv
If ya want my luv ya gotta learn
To treat me with respect
If ya want my luv luv me enough
To drop the strings that ya brought
If ya want my luv then realize
That I ain't some pet that ya bought
If ya want my luv

You always try so hard
I don't want some silly card
I want what you are
Now that's not too bizarre

If ya want my luv
If you're spendin' time with me
You better keep it hassle free
I'll tell you
If ya want my luv luv me enough
To drop the strings that ya brought
If ya want my luv then realize
That I ain't some pet that ya bought
If ya want my luv

Wait, I'll show you how to play
If you plan to be with me
You better give me space to breathe
I wanna know

If ya want my luv
If ya want my luv

(Brian Wilson/Mike Love)

Well she's got her daddy's car
And she cruised to the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now

And she'll have fun fun fun
Till her daddy takes her T-Bird away
And she'll have fun fun fun
Till her daddy takes the T-Bird away

Well the girls can't stand it
Coz she walks talks and drives like an ace now
She makes the Indy 500 look like
A Roman chariot race now
A lotta guys try and catch her
But she leads them on a wild goose chase now

And she'll have fun fun fun
Till her daddy takes her T-Bird away
And she'll have fun fun fun
Till her daddy takes her T-Bird away

Well you knew all along
That your dad was gettin' wise to you now
And since he took your set of keys
You've been thinking that your fun is all through now
And you can come along with me
Cos we got a lot of things to do now

And we'll have fun fun fun
Now that daddy took the T-Bird away
We'll have fun fun fun
Now that daddy took his T-Bird away

I will not take off my clothes
I will not be rude
For what I have done
Is come to rock you

Late at night while the normals rest
I feel wicked when I start to dress
My clothes, they stare at me like they
Wanna make love to my body
I'm not a dream but I'm supreme and if ya
Listen to the sky you see what I mean
When it rains outside, people run and hide
I walk the streets and start to pry
And wonder was I here before?
In another life? Yes! I'm sure but what
As I suppose why do I get power from these clothes

Black leather, I wear it on stage
Black leather, I'm gonna wear it to my grave
Black leather, I will wear it anywhere
Because my name is Joan Jett and I don't care
Just the feel of it on my flesh makes me
Feel wild feel possessed
But I'm not don't get me wrong
I'm the baddest slick chick just singin'
This song

Lilly white dresses sure they're cute
They also attract a lot of men to you
But they make you feel real vulnerable
From anything that got muscle
But ya cannot take what I would not give
Cuz that's the truth that's how I live

Listen don't slick talk me to make me indulge
'Cause I am JOAN and I am love!
I have this friend in a waterbed
He's real wild when he's soakin' wet
Yo Joan let's hang till the early dawn
Scorp chill 'til I put my leather on

Black leather, I wear it on stage
Black leather, I'm gonna wear it to my grave
Black leather, I will wear it anywhere
Because my name is Joan Jett and I don't care
Just the feel of it on my flesh make me
Feel wild feel possessed
But I'm not don't get me wrong
I'm the baddest slick chick and I'm singin'
This song

This is true I gotta show no shame
I was born to freak and I'm to blame?
I coulda been a mailman in any weather
Instead I'm rockin' away in my leather
When I was young I wore skirts and lace
My father told me to slow down my pace
His friends would come over and get in my face
And ask the same question mine or your place?
It's alright to be treated like a lady
I couldn't wait 'til that notion ceased
My friends thought that I was a little angel
I couldn't help it if I felt like a beast
So when I die don't worry about a coffin
There won't be no ashes to stuff in the urn
Jus' lay me out toss on the charcoal lighter
An' fire me up smell the leather burn

Black leather, I wear it on stage
Black leather, I'm gonna wear it to my grave
Black leather, I will wear it anywhere
Because my name is Joan Jett and I don't care
Just the feel of it on my flesh make me
Feel wild feel possessed
But I'm not don't get me wrong
I'm the baddest slick chick and I'm singin'
This song

Black leather, I wear it on stage
Black leather, I'm gonna wear it to my grave
Black leather, I will wear it anywhere
Because my name is Joan Jett and I don't care
Just the feel of it on my flesh make me
Feel wild feel possessed
But I'm not don't get me wrong
I'm the baddest slick chick and I'm singin'
This song

(Joan Jett/Kenny Laguna/Bob Halligan/Ricky Byrd)

Black streak on the boulevard
Another place they don't let you stay
White rain fallin' cold-n-hard
Gotta get thru it anyway

Try to be what ya wanna be
Who's to say you ain't got the right
In a world where you never sleep
Every day is another fight
You can't live with the old rules
And I can understand
So you run to stay sane

When you're an outlaw everyone knows your name
When you're an outlaw everyone thinks you're strange

Try to be what you're born to be
Don't you dare you ain't got the might
When they go and get ya angry
You'll be there to stand and fight
You ain't lookin' for trouble hey, I can understand you but it's here anyway

When you're an outlaw everyone knows your name
When you're an outlaw nobody feels your pain

There goes the renegade you're the one they love to hate
But I don't look at you that way
You can live by your own rules if that's the way you planned
But there's no where to go

When you're an outlaw you run like an outlaw
You live like an outlaw alone like an outlaw
I know you're an outlaw I'm not your enemy
'Cuz you're not an outlaw when you're alone with me
So c'mon outlaw, outlaw

(Rick Nowels/Terry Abrahamson)

I like the way you move
I like the way you feel it's just lust
But don't kid yourself
This love ain't for real it's just lust

I wanna take you home
Rock ya all night long
If ya think it's luv then you're thinkin' wrong

It's just lust
It's just lust

Move baby move and ya make me melt
It's just lust
But you're only a hit below the belt
It's just lust

But don't ya call it luv
But my heart ain't buyin'
When you're outta my sight
You're outta my mind

It's just lust
It's just lust
It's just lust
It's just lust

I wanna take you home
Rock ya all night long
If ya think it's luv then you're thinkin' wrong

It's just lust
It's just lust

(Jimi Hendrix)

You got me floatin' round and round
Always up, you never let me down
The amazing thing, you turned me on naturally
And I kiss you when I please

You got me floatin' round and round
You got me floatin' never down
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please

You got me floatin' across and through
You make me float right on up to you
There's only one thing I need to
Really get me there
Is to hear you laugh without a care

You got me floatin' round and round
You got me floatin' never down
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please

You got me floatin' round and round
You got me floatin' never down
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please

Now your daddy's cool and
Your mama's no fool
They both know I'm head
Over heels for you
And when the day melts down
Into a sleepy, red glow
That's when my desires
Start to show

You got me floatin' round and round
You got me floatin' never down
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please

(Joan Jett/Kenny Laguna)

This is the moment I been waitin' on
And thinkin' on the whole day thru
I'm so excited that my tongue gets tied
When I get next to you

It's all messed up I'm afraid
I'll never get the chance
So the time is now but I
Wish I had a better plan

How to make contact
I wanna make contact
I wanna make contact, oh yeah
I wanna make contact

I luv to watch ya but I never let ya
Catch me when I'm starin' at you
Ya look so special and I really wanna
Tell ya but I never do

We go thru life like ships passin'
Thru the night
If I could break the ice then I'd
Know it'd be alright

Wanna make contact
Wanna make contact
Wanna make contact, oh yeah
Wanna make contact

I could be satisfied
Makin' it with you
Then doin' it over and over and over
The whole night through

I wanna make contact
