[Verse 1]
Can't stay at home, can't stay in 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
[Chorus]
Hello, Daddy, hello, Mom
I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch, cherry bomb
Hello, world, I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch, cherry bomb
[Verse 2]
Stone Age love and strange sounds too
Come on, baby, let me get to you
Bad nights causin' teenage blues
Get down, ladies, you got nothin' to lose
[Chorus]
Hello, Daddy, hello, Mom
I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch, cherry bomb
Hello, world, I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch, cherry bomb
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh!
[Chorus]
Hello, Daddy, hello, Mom
I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch, cherry bomb
Hello, world, I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch, cherry bomb
Oh-ah
[Verse 3]
Hey, street boy, want some style?
Your dead-end dreams don't make you smile
I'll give you somethin' to live for
Have you and grab you 'til you're sore
[Chorus]
Hello, Daddy, hello, Mom
I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch, cherry bomb
Hello, world, I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch, cherry bomb
[Outro]
Cherry bomb
Cherry bomb
Cherry bomb
Cherry bomb
Cherry bomb
[Intro]
Wow!
[Verse 1]
You didn't care, you went and broke my heart
I'll get you back, you know it's gonna start
You gave me pain, that's what'cha done to me
When I get through, you'll be sorry you met me
[Chorus]
You'll wish you were never born
Blackmail, blackmail
I'll make you pay for the life that you tore
Blackmail
Black
Mail
Oh, oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
You put it to me and now we'll play my game
I'll wrap you up and you'll go insane
It took so long and I waited my turn
You pay your debt, I'm gonna make you burn, you know
[Chorus]
You'll wish you were never born
Blackmail, blackmail
I'll make you pay for the life that you tore
Blackmail
Black
Mail
Go, Lita!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I know about you and I'm gonna tell
The way I planned, you're gonna go through hell
If you don't do what I'm about to say
You won't live to see the light of day, you know
[Chorus]
You'll wish you were never born
Blackmail, blackmail
I'll make you pay for the life that you tore
Blackmail
Black
Mail
[Outro]
One more time, blackmail
Black
Mail
Oh
[Verse 1: Cherie Currie]
We speak in codes and no one knows
'Cause we're living a double life
Kept inside, our love dreams hide
'Cause we're living a double life
[Chorus: Joan Jett, Cherie Currie]
Secrets, we got dreams
Mysteries and crazy schemes
Secrets, we got dreams
Secrets, can't be seen
[Verse 2: Cherie Currie]
Out on the street, the shadows meet
'Cause we're living a double life
We can't tell, it fits so well
'Cause we're living a double life
[Chorus: Joan Jett, Cherie Currie]
Secrets, we got dreams
Mysteries and crazy schemes
Secrets, we got dreams
Secrets, can't be seen
[Bridge: Joan Jett]
Shh, someone's coming
Shh, be quiet
If we get caught
Just deny it
[Piano Solo / Instrumental Break]
[Outro: Joan Jett & Cherie Currie]
Secrets
Secrets
Secrets
Secrets
[Verse 1]
My one and only shining star said
Stick with me and I'll take you far
Your eyes are sparkling with teenage fire
I'll satisfy your mad desires cause
[Chorus]
I love playing with fire
And I don't wanna get burned
I love playing with fire
And I don't think I'll ever learn
[Verse 2]
My heart is aching to see you play
And I can't wait till another day
The way you shake me is really hot
You know how to use what you got that's why
[Chorus]
I love playing with fire
And I don't wanna get burned
I love playing with fire
And I don't think I'll ever learn
[Verse 3]
Ohh acting tough with looks that kill
You got me going and I can't stand still
My arms are dying to hold ya tight
You're my little dark dynamite you know
[Outro]
I love playing with fire
And I don't wanna get burned
I love playing with fire
And I don't think I'll ever learn
I love playing with fire
And I don't wanna get burned
I love playing with fire
And I don't think I'll ever learn
I love playing with fire
And I don't wanna get burned
I love playing with fire
And I don't think I'll ever learn
I love playing with fire
And I don't wanna get burned
I love playing with fire
[Verse 1]
Bodies without minds
I hear you're the ones with the bleeding hearts
Blue and bittersweet
You tear my dreams apart
[Chorus]
'Cause I was born to be bad
I'm not sad, and I'm glad I did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad, why don't you all get with it? Yeah
[Verse 2]
The damned don't cry
Cry out when they're betrayed
Bodies slam they scream
As the keynotes fade
[Chorus]
'Cause I was born to be bad
I'm not sad, and I'm glad I did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad, why don't you all get with it? Woo!
[Bridge]
I called my mother from Hollywood the other day
And I said, "Mom, I just called to tell ya I joined a rock and roll band
And, uh, I won't be coming home no more"
You know what she did?
She started cryin' and weepin' and whimperin', like all mothers do
She woke up my father and told him about it, he said
"There ain't a damn thing we can do, that's the way she is
Hey, you know she was just, uh, born to be bad"
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
Woo!
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I want you to bring me his ears
To satisfy my mad desires
And if he bites the dust
Well, you just have to miss my fire, woo!
Yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause I was born to be bad
I'm not sad, and I'm glad I did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad, why don't you all get with it?
[Verse 1]
You know that I'm not an angel
I told you when you walked in the door
You know that you make me happy
Better than the time before
[Chorus]
Take it or leave it
Do whatever you want
Take it or leave it
Do whatever you want to me
[Verse 2]
You know that you're just a playmate
What are you trying to gain?
Lead me into the darkness
To play our little nighttime games, woo!
[Chorus]
Take it or leave it
Do whatever you want
Take it or leave it
Do whatever you want to me
[Bridge]
You say you wanna be with me
I see it in you
It's only a one night stand
And then we're through
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
You know that it makes me sad
To see how you feel for me
I gotta start movin' on
Someone else is waitin' for me, ow!
[Chorus]
Take it or leave it
Do whatever you want
Take it or leave it
Do whatever you want to me (to me)
[Verse 1: Joan Jett]
With a pinch of rock and a dose of roll
I can warm you up if you get too cold
I can bring you up if you're going down
I can smash your head all over this town
[Pre-Chorus: Joan Jett, Jackie Fox]
You gave me the answer
Now I got the answer, oh, yeah (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Joan Jett]
We're the queens of noise
Come and get it, boys
Queens of noise
Not just one of your toys
Queens of noise
[Verse 2: Joan Jett]
I remember you at our second show
You were holding on and you wouldn't let go
And I bet you'll always be that way
Whenever you see us start to play
[Pre-Chorus: Joan Jett, Jackie Fox]
You gave me the answer
Now I got the answer, oh, yeah (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Joan Jett]
We're the queens of noise
Come and get it, boys
Queens of noise
Not just one of your toys
Queens of noise
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro: Joan Jett, Jackie Fox]
Queens of noise
Come and get it, boys
Queens of noise
Not just one of your toys
Queens of noise (we're the queens of noise)
Come and get it, boys (come and get it, boys)
Queens of noise (we're the queens of noise)
Not just one of your toys (not just one of your toys)
Queens of noise (we're the queens of noise)
Come and get it, boys (come and get it, boys)
Queens of noise (we're the queens of noise)
Not just one of your toys (not just one of your toys)
Queens of noise (we're the queens of noise)
[Intro]
Shh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
You drive me wild, yeah, yeah
You know you do, oh, oh
You drive me wild, oh, yeah
You know I need you, ooh, ooh, oh
Shh, shh
[Verse 2]
You're on my mind always, my one desire
Let's get together, and build us a fire
Make me tremble, make me shake
Pleasin' each other rockin' 'til daybreak
[Chorus]
You drive me wild, yeah, yeah
You know you do, oh, oh
You drive me wild, oh, yeah
You know I need you, ooh, ooh, ah!
[Guitar Solo]
Shh
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
[Chorus]
You drive me wild, yeah, yeah
You know you do, oh, oh
You drive me wild, oh, yeah
You know I need you, ooh, ooh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, come on
[Verse 3]
Don't hold off, do it, I need your lovin'
I'm gettin' so hot, I'm cookin' like an oven
My head is all filled with crazy thoughts
Love like this just can't be bought
[Chorus]
You drive me wild, yeah, yeah
You know you do, oh, oh
You drive me wild, oh, yeah
You know I need you, ooh, ooh, oh-ow!
[Verse 1]
No one here gets out alive
Pushing power in overdrive
Cobra kings wet and wild
Love the devil that's in your smile
[Chorus]
Let me tell you what we been doing
Neon angels on the road to ruin
Let me tell you what we been doing
Neon angels on the road to ruin
[Verse 2]
Everybody who's ever on fire
Now's the time for our desire
[Chorus]
Let me tell you what we been doing
Neon angels on the road to ruin
Let me tell you what we been doing
Neon angels on the road
[Verse 3]
Highways hard in this modern world
Battered boys and shattered girls
Leather bombers that rule the streets
Setting fires and living heat
[Chorus]
Let me tell you what we been doing
Neon angels on the road to ruin
Let me tell you what we been doing
Neon angels on the road
Blue skinned sleeping boys
Man you're lookin' wasted
Greasy wheels, streets of steel
No tellin' what ya tasted
Good guys bad guys
Doesn't really matter
Punch drunk, high on junk
Sad you are so shattered
Wasted lives of wasted drives
Wasted days an' wasted nights
Wasted this an' wasted that
Wasted is where you're at
Torpedoes in tuxedos
Got iron in their hands
Cotton sound, lost an' found
Is in every crazy man
Lonely rain, bad cocaine
Doesn't really matter
China white, don't treat ya right
Sad you are so shattered
Wasted lives of wasted drives
Wasted days an' wasted nights
Wasted this an' wasted that
Wasted is where you're at
Madhouse melodies
Got beach rats on the run
Golden tractors, low plus factors
Silver bullets, rubber gun
Redneck rocker, or devil daughter
Doesn't really matter
Cheap dope, ya can't cope
Sad you are so shattered
Wasted lives of wasted drives
Wasted days an' wasted nights
Wasted this an' wasted that
Wasted is where you're at
[Joan Jett]
Don't wanna leave you again baby
But ya know I have to someday
Don't wanna be alone again baby
But I know we found our own way
We hold ourselves together
It's a bond that can never be broken
I know we'll last forever
But there's something that I just gotta say
Wait for me my lover
Wait for me no other
Stay with me, oh please
Wait for me
You know it's really hard on me
To have to turn an' wave good-bye
An' I know it's hard on you too
All those lonely nites we cry but
Wait for me my lover
Wait for me no other
Stay with me, oh please
Wait for me
You know I get so scared inside
When I come back you won't want me
But then you tell me I'm your only one
I guess it's just my insecurity but
Wait for me my lover
Wait for me no other
Stay with me, oh please
Wait for me
[Joan Jett/Kari Krome/Kim Fowley]
Shades of gray don't fade away
They're waitin' for the night
Goin' out is what we're about
We're waitin' for the night
Friends and foes movin' fast and movin' slow
We're waitin' for the night
Hangin' around so astounded
Waitin' for the night
Waitin' for the night
Waitin' for the night
Days are taken
Waitin' for the night
At the hall havin' a ball
Waitin' for the night
Don't care, don't care at all
Cause we've seen, we've seen it all
Waitin' for the night
Waitin' for the night
Waitin' for the night
Days are taken
Waitin' for the night
