Joan Jett And The Blackhearts Album

(J. Jett/K. Fowley)

Can't stay at home, can't stay at school
Old folks say, ya poor little fool
Down the street I'm the girl next door
I'm the fox you've been waiting for

Hello Daddy, hello Mom
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb
Hello world I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb

Stone age love and strange sounds too
Come on baby let me get to you
Bad nights cause'n teenage blues
Get down ladies you've got nothing to lose

Hello Daddy, hello Mom
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb
Hello world I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb

Hey street boy whats your style
Your dead end dreams don't make you smile
I'll give ya something to live for
Have ya, grab ya til your sore

Hello Daddy, hello Mom
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb
Hello world I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb

(Joan Jett/Paul Westerberg)

I had it made, I never strayed
From a course that somebody else laid
I clenched my fists, I never miss
One nite (one nite) you find that ya can't turn back
So it's goodbye to the past
Here it comes, here it comes feel it comin'
Backlash backlash backlash
Oh yea, it's too bad now it's a backlash

Your time ain't long you don't belong
Maybe so but you hope that they're wrong
Thin skin gets thick it happens quick
Like a baby turn her very first trick
Hold tight (hold tight) hold tight for the ride of your life
And the lovers go by so fast
Here it comes, here it comes feel it comin'
Backlash backlash backlash

Used to love me used to care (do you care?) used to want me
Here it comes, here it comes I guess that's fair

Now, do you love me, do you care, do you want me
One nite (one nite) we find we're outta, outta time
Here it comes, here it comes here it comes a c'mon

Backlash backlash backlash

Midnight, gettin' uptight, where are you?
You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two
I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you
Hey Jack, it's a fact they're talkin' in town
I turn my back and you're messin' around
I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown
I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart then you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you
Ow! Uh

Daylight, spent the night without you
But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do
I'm over being angry 'bout the hell you put me through
Hey, man, bet you can treat me right
You just don't know what you was missin' last night
I wanna see you begging, say forget it just for spite
I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart and you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you
Ow! Huh

I think of you ev'ry night and day
You took my heart and you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself
I hate myself for loving you

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day
and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?

Well it's you, girl, and you should know it
with each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around no need to fake it
You can have the town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all

How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big, and girl, this time you're all alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving

Love is all around no need to fake it
You can have the town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all

You're the one most likely to succeed
Just be sure to keep your head, 'cause girl, you know that's all you need
Everyone around adores you
Don't give up, the world is waiting for you

Love is all around no need to waste it
You can have the town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
And suddenly make it all seem worthwhile
Well it's you, girl, and you should know it
with each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have the town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

(J.C. Fogerty)

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know
It's been coming for some time
When it's over so they say
It'll rain on a sunny day
I know
Shining down like water

I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?

Coming down on a sunny day
Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know
It's been that way for all my time
Till forever on it goes
Through the circle fast and slow
I know
And it can't stop I wonder

I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?

I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?

I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

He smiled so I got up and' asked for his name
That don't matter, he said,
'Cause it's all the same

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An' next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me

Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An we'll be movin' on
An' singin' that same old song
Yeah with me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

(Joan Jett/Kenny Laguna)

You can't get me, can't get me
You can't get me, can't get me

You can't get me, can't get me
You can't get me, can't get me

You can't get me, can't get me
You can't get me, can't get me
You can't get me, can't get me
You can't get me, can't get me

I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
You're living in the past it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that's
What I'm gonna do
An' I don't give a damn ' bout my bad reputation

Oh no not me

An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
An' I'm only doin' good
When I'm havin' fun
An' I don't have to please no one
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
An' I don't really care
If ya think I'm strange
I ain't gonna change
An' I'm never gonna care
'Bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

Pedal boys!

An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
The world's in trouble
There's no communication
An' everyone can say
What they want to say
It never gets better anyway
So why should I care
'Bout a bad reputation anyway
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
You're living in the past
It's a new generation
An' I only feel good
When I got no pain
An' that's how I'm gonna stay
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not
Not me, not me

(Stewart)

Sometimes I'm right then I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my songs
A butcher, a banker, a drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people

Then it's the blue ones who can't accept
The green ones for living with
The black ones tryin' to be a skinny one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby dooby

Ooh sha sha
We gotta live together

I am no better and neither are you
We're all the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me
You know me and then
Still can't figure out the scene I'm in
I am everyday people

Then it's the new man
That doesn't like the short man
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on scooby dooby dooby

Ooh sha sha
We got to live together

There is a yellow one that won't
Accept the black one
That won't accept the red one
That won't accept the white one

Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and
Scooby dooby dooby
Ooh sha sha
I am everyday people

(Jett/Cordell/Laguna)

Yeah

I wanna life without the blues
I wanna go an' see the O's never lose
I wanna house sittin' on the beach
But of all the things that I can't reach

I want you like I never wanted anythin' else before
I want you like I never wanted anythin' else before

Yeah

I wanna know the movie stars
An' be a VIP when I cruise the bars
I wanna spend a ton of cash
I want a fancy car an' I wanna go fast

I want you

I wanna take a trip on a natural high

I want you like I never wanted anythin' else before

Yeah

We've been here too long
Tryin' to get along
Pretendin' that you're oh so shy
I'm a natural ma'am
Doin' all I can
My temperature is runnin' high

Cry at night
No one in sight
An' we got so much to share
Talking's fine

But I ain't got the time to spare

When the little bluebird
Who has never said a word
Starts to sing Spring
When the little bluebell
At the bottom of the dell
Starts to ring Ding dong Ding dong
When the little blue clerk
In the middle of his work
Starts a tune to the moon up above
It is nature that is all
Simply telling us to fall in love

And that's why birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

Cold Cape Cod clams, 'gainst their wish, do it
Even lazy jellyfish do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

I've heard that lizards and frogs do it
Layin' on a rock
They say that roosters do it
With a doodle and cock

Some Argentines, without means do it
I hear even Boston beans do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

When the little bluebird
Who has never said a word
starts to sing Spring spring spring
When the little bluebell
At the bottom of the dell
Starts to ring Ding ding ding
When the little blue clerk
In the middle of his work
Starts a tune

The most refined lady bugs do it
When a gentleman calls
Moths in your rugs they do it
What's the use of moth balls

The chimpanzees in the zoos do it,
Some courageous kangaroos do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

I'm sure sometimes on the sly you do it
Maybe even you and I might do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

One, two
One, two, three, four

Well, I've been out of the woods for six days and nights now
And I'm a little hot wired but I'm feeling alright now
I got some money in my pocket and I won't need a ride, yeah
I got a big Jag car and a baby by my side, yeah

Well, I'm a little hot wired, but I'm feeling OK
And I got a little lost down along the way
Well, I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah
I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah

Driving 500 miles, got 500 to go, yeah
I've got a rock 'n' roll music on my radio
I've got a brother on the rig just off the Gulf Coast
He says the girls down there are really the most, yeah

Well, I'm a little tired out but I'm feeling OK
And I got a little lost along the way
But I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah
I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah

Well, I got thrown out of work on the Kokomo
Well, don't ask me what I'm doing, cause I don't know, yeah
Only hear you wasn't joking when you wrote me that letter
Things can't get worse, so they gotta get better

Well I'm a little hot wired but I'm feeling OK
And I got a little lost along the way
But I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah
I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah
I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah
I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Woo

Rain on your face
Looks like tears that I wanna erase
If I could
Take all your pain away
I'd do that everyday
You know that I would

You make me feel
Like I am real
Like I exist
You make the bad things
Disappear
Rain on my soul
All shiny and wet
Bleeding all onto your skin
Take me to a place far away
Where we'd be like we're twins
I wanna know
That this is real
But it's so hard
Am I afraid
To really feel

I wanna know
That this is real
But it's so hard
Are you afraid
To really feel

There's just one thing
I know I wanna do
Baptize myself
In the waters of you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Watersign
Watersign
Oh
Watersign

(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

(P. Falciglia/C. Mastrangelo)

I need someone whoa how I need someone
I need someone, someone like you, you, you

Today my love has gone away
He won't be back he wants it that way
An' I need someone to take his place
Someone with a warm embrace
He promised me he would be true
Yeah, he said I love no one but you
But here I stand, I'm all alone
With nothin' to do but to stay at home

An' I need someone, oh how I need someone
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you

Yeah, we used to travel all around an' around
Yeah, we always went from town to town
But since my baby been gone away
I haven't had haven't had a happy day
Even though we were together for so long
I can't imagine what went wrong
Here we are so far apart
And now he's thinking that he's so smart

I need someone, oh how I need someone
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you

Oh, oh I need someone
Yeah, I really need someone
I need someone like you
Oh yes, I do baby

I need someone, oh how I need someone
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you

Oh, look good in latex
Get off, having rough sex
Surprise, round and round the bed
Restrained, while I fuck your head

You are my fetish

Gaze down, it's time to be my dog
I'll push, to get you in that fog

You are my fetish

Pain turns to pleasure fast
Relax, while I pound your ass
Cool cat, cool cat come on I'll give you some
Oh, yeah, gonna, I'm gonna watch you come

You are my Fetish
You are my Fetish
You are my Fetish

I order you, you, you
You better m-m-mind
I order you, you, you
You better m-mind
I order you, you, you
You better m-m-mind
I order you, you, you
You better m-mind

(J. Jett/K. Hanna)

Maybe I don't wanna maybe I don't wanna, wanna
Maybe I don't wanna fuck you!

I'm a spinster, I don't need no rules
I don't got no one tellin' me what to do
Tellin' me what's cool? I'm no stupid fool

Hey teen ageist I'm not over yet
Y-O-U-T-H only, baby, that's your math
I'm a spinster, I don't need your rules
I'm resisting, I don't need no one to
Tell me what's cool or how I need a tool
To get thru to you

I'm no one's wife and' I'm not your little girl
Don't tell me I'm useless cuz I want
More from this world

Maybe I don't wanna maybe I don't wanna, wanna
Maybe I don't wanna maybe I don't wanna
Maybe I don't wanna maybe I don't wanna, wanna
Maybe she don't wanna fuck you!
Hey ever think of that?

Ah, now I don't hardly know her
But I think I could love her
Crimson and clover

Ah when she comes walking over
Now I've been waitin' to show her
Crimson and clover over and over

Yeah, my, my such a sweet thing
I wanna do everything
What a beautiful feeling
Crimson and clover over and over

Crimson and clover over and over
Crimson and clover over and over
Crimson and clover over and over
Crimson and clover over and over

(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

Michael Rennie was ill
The Day the Earth Stood Still
But he told us where we stand

And Flash Gordon was there
In silver underwear
Claude Rains was the Invisible Man

Then something went wrong
For Fay Wray and King Kong
They got caught in a celluloid jam

Then at a deadly pace
It Came From Outer Space
This is how the message ran...
