Cherry Bomb

[ Featuring L7, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts ]

Can't stay at home
Can't stay at school
Old folks say
"You 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
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb

Stone age love and strange sounds too
Come on baby let me get into you
Bad nights causin' 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
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb

Hey street boy, want some style?
Your dead end dreams don't make you smile
I'll give ya something to live for
Have ya, grab ya
'Til you're sore

Hello Daddy
Hello Mom
I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb
Hello world
I'm your wild girl
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb
Cherry bomb
Cherry bomb
Cherry bomb
Cherry bomb
Cherry bomb
Cherry bomb

You Drive Me Wild

[ Featuring Joan Jett, the Blackhearts ]

You know when you're close you really turn me on
That's why I want you so bad when you're gone, yeah
Come on, come on and take me home
Please stay with me and don't you leave me alone

You drive me wild
Yeah yeah
You know you do
Uh huh
You drive me wild
You know I need you

You're on my mind always my one desire
Lets get together and build us a fire
Make me tremble make me shake
Pleasin' each other rockin' till daybreak
You drive me wild
Yeah yeah
You know you do
Uh huh
You drive me wild
You know I need you

You drive me wild
Yeah yeah
You know you do
Uh huh
You drive me wild
You know I need you

Don't hold off do it, I need your lovin'
I'm getting so hot I'm cooking like an oven
My head is all filled with crazy thoughts
Love like this just can't be bought

You drive me wild
Yeah yeah
You know you do
Uh huh
You drive me wild
You know I need you

School Days

[ Featuring Joan Jett, the Blackhearts ]

Used to be the trouble maker
Hated homework, was a sweet heartbreaker
But now I have my dream
I'm so rowdy for eighteen
Never read a single book
Hated homework and the dirty looks
Now I live my life
There's a lot I seen at eighteen

School days, school days
I'm older, now what will I find
School day, school days
Starting to slip I'm losin' my mind

Used to be the wild one
Hated class only lived for fun
I'm mean an' got my schemes
At the crazy age of eighteen
Never made the honor roll
Hated rules what I was told
Now I am almost free
It's a dangerous scene when you're eighteen
School days, school days
I'm older, now what will I find
School day, school days
Starting to slip I'm losin' my mind

Love Is Pain

Hey you must obey
Or you will bleed
You know I need to get my way
So now you listen up
You are my pup
I beat you up in every way

An' when I speak to you
You answer true
Or I will make you black and blue
I love to make you wait
You take the bait
I know you hate and love me too

We are not to blame
For seeing love is pain
An' we are not ashamed
To say that love is pain
An' we'll do it again

I know you're not afraid
'Cause when you stayed
You knew you made the final show
So now you must submit
I'll never quit till you admit
You'll never go

We are not to blame
For seeing love is pain
We are not ashamed
To say that love is pain

We are not ashamed, we are not ashamed,
We are not ashamed, we are not ashamed
To say that love is pain
And we'll do it again

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
While 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, not me!

You Don't Know What You've Got

(Jett-Laguna-Cordell)

I was caught so unaware
When you made other plans
Promises you swore to keep
Where more than you could stand

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

I can't stand to hear your name
'Cause you were so unkind
And though you think you made out well
Someday you will find

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

Shame on you, I gave you love
I gave you love so true
But you ran away
So you just don't know what cha' blew
Yeah, yeah

You don't know what you've got
Oh baby
You don't know what you've got
I thought I knew you
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

I was weak when you were there
And I felt so protected
But I'll make sure that you regret
The one that you rejected

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

Oh baby
You really blew it
Oh baby
I thought you knew me
Oh baby
Oh baby. . .

I Want You

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 want you
I want you
I want you
I'm gonna get ya

Yeah

I wanna run I wanna fly
I wanna take a trip on a natural high
I wanna go
Where I'm not allowed
I wanna be with you and I will somehow

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

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

Yeah

I Love Rock N Roll

[ Originally by Arrows ]

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

(I'm Gonna) Run Away

I can't take it
This is gettin' silly
Can't find me no tranquility anymore
I just can't get through to you
We're fakin' it, it's time to admit it
You make me feel like an idiot all the time
There's nothin' left for me to do
No, so

I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you

We were friends but now you're the enemy
Don't need this when there's a remedy, it's the end
Play your trick on someone new

I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you

Ain't life strange?
How people change
You were all I wanted once
Now you're just a pain, pain

I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna run away
I'm never comin' back to you

Crimson And Clover

Crimson and Clover
Joan Jett and The Blackhearts

I, now I don't hardly know her
But I think I can love her
Crimson and Clover

I, now when she comes walkin' over
Now I've been waitin' to show her
Crimson and Clover
Over and over

Yeah, If I'm not such a sweet thing
I wanna do everything
What a beautiful feelin'
Crimson and Clover
Over and over

Crimson and Clover
Over and over
(repeat 3 times)
