[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]
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]

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]
I don't like to live alone
On the avenue
I can't go back to bein' straight
I've seen the gutter view
[Chorus]
Is it day or night?
Porcupine kiss, novocaine lips
Is it day or night?
White flowers weep
In their warm, dust sleep
And it's dog eat dog tonight
[Verse 2]
Back door to insanity
Was ripped from their throat
Street wide hustlers and six string masters
Look cold in their overcoats
[Chorus]
Is it day or night?
Porcupine kiss, novocaine lips
Is it day or night?
White flowers weep
In their warm, dust sleep
And it's dog eat dog tonight, yeah, uh
[Guitar Solo]
Oh, oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Is it day or night?
Porcupine kiss, novocaine lips
Is it day or night?
White flowers weep
In their warm, dust sleep
And it's dog eat dog tonight
[Verse 1]
When the moon is out, it starts to shine
Thunder crashes, want to make you mine
The sky lights up in my mind
Fireworks between us you'll find
[Chorus]
And it's thunder
The spell that I'm under
It's thunder
I see lightning crash
And it's thunder
Oh, how our love flashes
It's thunder
Don't need no other feelin'
[Verse 2]
All the others, they're just the same
But, oh, my baby, you're a hurricane
Let me be your battered angel
So you can be my tattered devil
[Chorus]
And it's thunder
The spell that I'm under
It's thunder
I see lightning crash
And it's thunder
Oh, how our love flashes
It's thunder
Don't need no other feelin'
[Bridge]
You're my teenage fire
That's in my heart (Ooh)
Now our flaming love is gonna start
Oh, it's gonna start, oh
[Chorus]
And it's thunder
The spell that I'm under
It's thunder
I see lightning crash
And it's thunder
Oh, how our love flashes
It's thunder
Don't need no other feelin'
[Intro]
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
Alright!
Woo!
[Verse 1]
Jennie said when she was five years old
You know there's nothin' goin' down at all
She turned on that radio
And there was nothin' happenin' at all
She turned on that LA station
Couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancin' to that fine, fine music
Her life was saved by rock 'n' roll
[Chorus]
Despite all the complications
You could just dance to that rock 'n' roll station
And it was alright (it's alright)
Yeah, it was alright (it's alright)
Yeah, it was alright (it's alright)
Yeah, it was alright (it's alright)
You betcha
Woo!
[Verse 2]
Jennie said when she was five years old
You know our parents will be the death of us all
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars
Well they, they don't mean nothin' at all
She turned on that LA station
Couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancin' to that fine, fine music
Her life was saved by rock 'n' roll
[Chorus]
Despite all the complications
You could just dance to that rock 'n' roll station
And it was alright (it's alright)
Said, it was alright (it's alright)
Said, it was alright (it's alright)
Yeah, it was alright (it's alright)
Alright!
Woo! Ow, ow!
[Chorus]
Despite all the complications
You could just dance to that rock 'n' roll station
And it was alright (it's alright)
And it was alright (it's alright)
And it was alright (it's alright)
Yeah, it was alright (it's alright)
I said, it was alright!
[Verse 1]
I want somethin' bad and nice
Hot love
I want it nice from paradise
Young love
All night long, I'm chasin' fast
True love
Make me scream, make it last
[Chorus]
We lovers never say goodbye
We lovers never die
We stop and go so quietly
Cold lovers fade away (away)
[Post-Chorus]
I'm the one for you
You know what I say is true
I won't cry or tell you why
I know that you love me too
You do, a-one, two, three, four!
Oh, yeah, come on now
[Verse 2]
I want a kiss, wet and real
Strong love
I wanna tell you how I feel
Right now
All night long, it rained and rained
My love
Make me scream, "Hey, what's your name?"
[Chorus]
We lovers never say goodbye
We lovers never die
We stop and go so quietly
Cold lovers fade away
[Outro]
Yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
[Verse 1: Cherie Currie]
Clean rock 'n' roll
Makes the midnight flow tonight, now
It's hot tonight
Come on, let's have a good time
In the dark of the night
We hunt for fun
Chasing after the moonlight
Hiding from the sun
[Chorus: Cherie Currie]
American nights
You kids are so strange
American nights
You're never gonna change
[Verse 2: Cherie Currie]
Our magic is young
'Cause we just begun
We light up the sky
Always on the run
We live in the streets
In alleys of screams
'Cause we're the queens of noise
The answer to your dreams
[Chorus: Cherie Currie]
American nights
You kids are so strange
American nights
You're never gonna change
[Post-Chorus: Cherie Currie]
Hey, boy, you're my good time
Dance close, you feel so fine
Hold tight 'cause we're on fire
All night, you're my desire
[Chorus: Cherie Currie]
American nights
You kids are so strange
American nights
You're never gonna change
[Bridge: Cherie Currie, Joan Jett]
Everybody (come on!)
Wanna party?
Everybody (woo!)
Wanna party?
[Chorus: Cherie Currie, Joan Jett]
American nights (ow!)
You kids are so strange
American nights
You're never gonna change (woo!)
[Outro: Cherie Currie]
Oh!
[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: Cherie Currie, Joan Jett]
I'm a blonde bombshell, and I wear it well
Your mama says you're goin' straight to hell
I'm sweet sixteen and a rebel queen
And I look real hot in my tight, blue jeans
[Chorus 1: Cherie Currie & Joan Jett, Cherie Currie]
Dead-end kids in the danger zone
All of you are drunk and stoned
Dead-end kids, you're not alone
You sleep on the streets when you're not at home
[Verse 2: Joan Jett, Cherie Currie]
Long hot summers make you wanna fight
The roar of the city lasts all night
You like drugs, you like brew
You wouldn't believe what I may do to you
[Chorus 1: Cherie Currie & Joan Jett, Cherie Currie]
Dead-end kids in the danger zone
All of you are drunk and stoned
Dead-end kids, you're not alone
You sleep on the streets when you're not at home
[Verse 3: Cherie Currie, Joan Jett]
Got away clean with my fake ID
No more school or mommy for me
Stealin' cars, and breakin' hearts
Pills and thrills and actin' smart
[Chorus 1: Cherie Currie & Joan Jett, Cherie Currie]
Dead-end kids in the danger zone
All of you are drunk and stoned
Dead-end kids, you're not alone
You sleep on the streets when you're not at home
[Post-Chorus 1: Cherie Currie & Joan Jett]
In the naked city, spaces ain't that pretty
As I was getting dusted, I happened to get busted
Oh, yes, I was arrested, oh, God, how I protested
They beat me with a board, it hurt just like a sword
They kicked me in the eye, my brain began to fry
This is like a movie, I know I'm gonna scream
All the pain that I feel makes me feel mean
It's so sad and crazy here, I think I'm gonna cry
If I don't wake up from this dream
I think I'm gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna
Ah!
[Verse 4: Cherie Currie, Joan Jett]
Where am I?
You're in a cheap, run-down teenage jail, that's where
Oh, my God!
Yeah, blondie, you're gonna be here 'til you're 18, so, get used to it
Behind the bars, there's a superstar
Who never had a chance
She could sing, she could dance
You don't sing and dance in juvie, honey
Behind the walls, they've seen it all
Gotta have, gotta have
[Chorus 2: Cherie Currie & Joan Jett] Justice, justice Don't want your law and order Justice, justice Or worldwide disorder
[Verse 5: Joan Jett, Cherie Currie]
What you in for?
Wouldn't you like to know? (Ooh)
Behind the fence, there's no defense
There's murder, rape and bribery
In and out, burglary
You don't look so tough
Ah, I been around
On the planet sorrow, there's no tomorrow
Gonna get, gonna get
[Chorus 2: Cherie Currie & Joan Jett]
Justice, justice
Don't want your law and order
Justice, justice
Or worldwide disorder
[Verse 6: Cherie Currie, Joan Jett]
You can't turn off the tears
They crawl in juvenile hall
Cruel reform schools
They don't smile
They got no bail or jury trial
Joan, let's break out tonight
Okay, Cherie, what's the plan?
You grab the guard, in the prison yard
Get his keys and gun, we'll run
My old man's waiting outside in a van
Is he handsome?
You'll see, you'll see
'Cause you know we gotta be free
[Chorus 2: Cherie Currie & Joan Jett]
Justice, justice
Don't want your law and order
Justice, justice
Or worldwide disorder
[Verse 7: Joan Jett, Cherie Currie]
We'll go far through the prison yard
You and me, we will be free
Just be safe, don't be late
If you see the guard, don't hesitate
But, Joan, I'm getting tired
I've run out of fire
I can't go any farther
But, Cherie, you must try harder
Joan, I'm down, my ankle
I can't go on, but I can't leave you
What do I do?
Save yourself, you gotta save yourself
You know what you gotta do
Oh, my God!
