JOAN JETT : LET'S DO IT. [15]




Joan Jett (born Joan Marie Larkin; September 22, 1958) is an American rock guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer and actress.

She is best known for her work with Joan Jett & the Blackhearts including their hit cover "I Love Rock 'n' Roll", which was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 from March 20 to May 1, 1982,[1] as well as for their other popular recordings including "Crimson and Clover", "I Hate Myself for Loving You", "Do You Want to Touch Me", "Light of Day", "Love Is All Around", "Bad Reputation", and "Little Liar".

Her musical and songwriting approach is heavily influenced by the hard-edged, hard beat-driven rhythms common to many rock bands of her native Philadelphia, often featuring lyrics surrounding themes of lost love, criticisms of insincerity, the quest for authenticity, as well as the struggles and resolutions of the American middle class. She has three albums that have been certified Platinum or Gold, and she has been referred to as the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll" many times during her career.[2] In Venus Zine's 2010 "Queen of Rock" feature, Jett won the Readers' Pick in an online poll ahead of Stevie Nicks and Ann Wilson

1. BE MY LOVER

(Michael Bruce)

You strut into the room
Well I don't know ya
With a magnifying glance
I just sort of looked her over, hmm
We have a drink or two
Well, maybe three
And then suddenly you started telling me
Your life story
You said
Baby, if you wanna be my lover
You better take me home
'Cause it's a long long way to paradise
And I'm still on my own
Told ya that I came
From New York City
And I played guitar
In a real live rock and roll band
You asked me why
The singer's name was Alice
I said listen, baby
You really wouldn't understand
And I said
Baby, if you wanna
Be my lover
You better take me home
'Cause it's a long long way to paradise
And I'm still on my own
Baby, if you wanna
Be my lover
You better take me home
'Cause it's a long long way to paradise
And I'm still on my own

2. I HATE MYSELF FOR LOVING YOU


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 every 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

Daylight, spent the night without you
But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do
I won't be as 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 your face and say forget it just for spite


I think of you every 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 think of you every 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 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 for loving you

I hate myself for loving you

3. I STILL DREAMS ABOUT YOU

Sitting on the edge of the bed
I recall how you can send me to heaven
You never deny me in the middle of the night
My desires from morn to eleven
Whenever I ask there's never a task
For someone as wild as you
It's tough to believe I can hardly conceive
Of the things you can get me to do

(I hold your picture and your eyes they talk to me)
(Saying I want you tonight)
I still dream about you
I still dream about you
I still dream about you

Are you lonely baby, are you lonely for me too

Every night I get this feeling inside
Anticipating what's gonna come
It's all I can do to keep my hands off my pie
When I think about the things we done
I'm in a position to break some tradition
Never mind the song and dance
If you rock on the corner and start rocking this joint
It's time that we are making an advance yes it is

(I hold your picture and your eyes they talk to me)
(Saying I want you tonight)
I still dream about you
I still dream about you
I still dream about you

4. LOVE ME TWO TIMES


Love me two times, baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times, baby
Well, I'm goin' away

Love me two times, baby
One for tomorrow, one just for today
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

Love me one time
Could not speak
Love me one time, baby
Yeah, my knees got weak

Love me two times, baby
Last me all through the week
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

Love me two times
I'm goin' away, oh, yes

Love me two times, baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times, baby
Well, I'm goin' away

Love me two times, baby
One for tomorrow, one just for today
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

Love me two times, baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times, baby
Well, I'm goin' away

Love me two times, baby
One for tomorrow, one just for today
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

Love me two times

5. DESIRE

You're gone from mean street
Each time our eyes meet
I want to touch you
Sudden attraction
Such strange reaction
Hold me to you
Then you push me away

I want to make you, make you
Make you want to stay
So let me take you, take you
Take you baby all the way
'Cause I feel that desire
You're the flame that feeds my fire
Will you take me higher
Give me that love that I desire

Learned all that you want baby
Then why don't you show babe
Don't play with me baby
'Cause I'll find somebody
Who knows how to love me
So if you want it
You better take it right now

I want to make you, make you
Make you want to stay
So let me take you, take you
Take you baby all the way
'Cause I feel that desire
You're the flame that feeds my fire
Will you take me higher
Give me that love that I desire

Come on and take me through the night
You know I won't put up a fight
Just wrap your arms around me tight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Wondered why you make me
It might make you want to stay
If you don't take me
Life might never take me back this way
I feel that desire
You're the flame that feeds my fire
Will you take me higher
Give me that love that I desire

I feel that desire
You're the flame that feeds my fire
Will you take me higher
Give me that love that I desire
Desire, desire, desire

6. HOLD ME


No tears for us tonight, we've really got to try
Everybody's got their problems
And secrets that they try to hide
No fight or fuss tonight, be gentle as you can
Everyone thinks I'm stronger,
Much stronger than I am

I get scared and lonely
And I need someone to hold me
I get scared and lonely
And I need someone to hold me
Just like you do

There's no place left to go
When you're runnin' from yourself
It's easy when you draw conclusions
While you're lookin' at someone else
I tell the truth to you we've really got a lot
There is no time for sympathy
I think we ought to take a shot

Honey, I get scared and lonely
And I need someone to hold me
I get scared and lonely
And I need someone to hold me
Just like you do

Just take my hand, we'll find our way through
We won't be afraid 'cause
We've got each other to hold on to

Honey, I get scared and lonely
And I need someone to hold me
I get scared and lonely
And I need someone to hold me someone like you

I get scared and lonely
And I need someone to hold me, just like you do

7. I LOVE,YOU LOVE, ME LOVE



(Glitter/Leander)


We're still together after all that we've been through
They tried to tell you I was not the one for you
They didn't like my hair, the clothes I love to wear
They didn't' realize that I was strong enough for two
I love you, love you love me too, love I love you
Love me love I love you, love my only true love I
Love you love me love
The things they said about the two of us were lies
I knew they couldn't see the sparkle in your eyes
They said I wouldn't dare to show how much I care


They didn't know that we were just two angels in disguises
I love you, love you love me too, love I love you
Love me love I love you, love my only true love I
Love you love me love
So here we are alone, we made it on our own
And though they tried, they can't deny
The way I really showed'em
I love you, love you love me too, love I love you
Love me love I love you, love my only true love I
Love you love me love

8. HEARTBEAT..


Are you my lover
Or just fancy covers
That I hold at night
I wish upon a star
With my eyes shut tight
That my hopes and dreams
Will be recognized
'Cause it's fun with you
Yeah, it's fun with you

{Chorus} [2x]
And I know what you want
And I know what you need
I feel your heartbeat
Heartbeat

Sometimes I wonder
Where is that thunder
You had the other day
Watching your eyes burn
For the love you won't return
It's right next to you
Don't you let it slip through

'Cause it's fun with you
Yeah, it's fun with you

{Chorus}

I know what you want
And I know what you need
I feel your heartbeat
I feel your heartbeat

I feel your heartbeat
I feel your heartbeat

Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat

I feel your heartbeat
I feel your heartbeat (heartbeat)
I feel your heartbeat (heartbeat)
I feel your heartbeat
I do
Oh yeah

9. I GOT NO ANSWERS



Little boy asked me why people get mad
I just told him they were probably sad
Is that true
I just don't know
I got no answers

So the little boy asked me why the people are sad
They're just survivin' they don't know what they have
Is that true
We come and go
I got no answers

When I'm down feeling lonely and confused
I just hide it all that's the only thing to do

A little girl asked me why the sky is so grey
It wants to rain on this cloudy day
Is that true
And what will it wash way

I got no answers
I got no answers
I got no answers

10. BAD REPUTATION


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

We've been here too long
Tryin' to get along
Pretendin' that you're oh so shy

I'm a natural ma'am

12. LET'S DO IT


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

video



13. YOU'RE TOO POSSESSIVE


Let me out of your iron grip
I don't want your lovers tips
I don't need your interrogations
Don't ask me 'bout my other relations

You're too possessive for me, so leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me, so get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife

I come in late and you throw a fit
You sit me down and give me some lip
Well I don't have to waste my time
A wimp like you ain't worth a dime
You're too possessive for me, so leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me, so get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife, no way baby

Go away and don't come back
I don't want my mirror cracked
Go and find somebody new
Got no time to mess with you

You're too possessive for me, so leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me, so get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife

You're too possessive for me, so leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me, so get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife, no way baby


video


14. PLAY WITH ME

Life is never what you think
Give a sentimental wink
There ya go you don't know what's in store
But you felt it before

Hey I'm warmin' up to your insides
I don't worry cause I got no ties
Not a guy not a girl not a thing
Not a thing in this world

Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Hey baby did ya ever feel like being crazy
The borderlines are getting hazy
Rules are what we forgot you're a blaze
Leave them reeling for days

Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me

We'll have lots of fun let out emotions run
Nothing to nite is gonna get us down
We'll have lots of thunder let our emotions run
They go round and round and round round

Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me

video



15. SOME DAY




Someday my love you'll learn to treat me right
A wake up my love I'm gonna make you see the light
You're never satisfied until you're bringin' me down
You never give me respect but still I'm stickin' around
Someday my love I'll get to you before you can start
Someday my love I'll take your heart and I'll tear it apart
One night I know you're gonna sleep alone
An' I'll be long gone an' you'll be the one to moan
You never knew what you had when I gave you my all
You're so full of yourself but you're goin' to fall
Some day my love I'll get to you before you can start
Some day my love I'll take your heart and I'll tear it apart
Listen to me you son of a bitch
You think you're so damned smart
But I got news for you I'm gonna kick you outta my life
And when you come crawling back to me on your hands and knees on glass
I'm gonna spit in your face an' laugh at your ass
Some day my love
The things you've done will catch up to you
Some day my love
I'll take your heart and I'll tear it apart
Some day my love
I'll get to you before you can start
Some day my love
I'll take your heart and I'll rip it apart
