Black Leather
(J.Jett/Reggie Griffin/Eddie Morris/William Adler)
I will not take off my clothes
I will not be rude
For what I have done
Is come to rock you
Late at night while the normals rest
I feel real wicked when I start to dress
My clothes they stare at me
Like they wanna make love to my body
Im not a dream but Im supreme
And if ya listen to the sky you see what I mean
When it rains outside, people run and hide
I walk the streets and start to pry
And wonder
Was I here before ?
In another life?
Yes! Im sure but what
As I suppose why do I get power from these clothes
Black leather, I wear it on stage
Black leather, Im gonna wear it to my grave
Black leather, I will wear it anywhere
Because my name is Joan Jett and I dont care
Just the feel of it on my flesh
Make me feel wild feel possessed
But Im not dont get me wrong
Im the baddest slick chick just singin this song
Lilly white dresses sure theyre cute
They also attract a lot of men to you
But they make you feel real vulnerable
From anything that got muscle
But ya cannot take what I would not give
Cuz thats the truth thats how I live
Dont slick talk me to make me indulge
Cause I am JOAN and I am love!
I have this friend in a waterbed
Hes real wild when hes soakin wet
Yo Joan lets hang till the early dawn
Scorp chill til I put my leather on
Black leather, I wear it on stage
Black leather, Im gonna wear it to my grave
Black leather, I will wear it anywhere
Because my name is Joan Jett and I dont care
Just the feel of it on my flesh
Make me feel wild feel possessed
But Im not dont get me wrong
Im the baddest slick chick just singin this song
This is true I gotta show no shame
I was born to freak and Im to blame?
I coulda been a mailman in any weather
Instead Im rockin away in my leather
When I was young I wore skirts and lace
My father told me to slow down my pace
His friends would come over and get in my face
And ask the same question
Mine or your place?
Its alright to be treated like a lady
I couldnt wait til that notion ceased
My friends thought that I was a little angel
I couldnt help it if I felt like a beast
So when I die dont worry about a coffin
There wont be no ashes to stuff in the urn
Jus lay me out toss on the charcoal lighter
An fire me up smell the leather burn
Black leather, I wear it on stage
Black leather, Im gonna wear it to my grave
Black leather, I will wear it anywhere
Because my name is Joan Jett and I dont care
Just the feel of it on my flesh
Make me feel wild feel possessed
But Im not dont get me wrong
Im the baddest slick chick just singin this song
Black leather, I wear it on stage
Black leather, Im gonna wear it to my grave
Black leather, I will wear it anywhere
Because my name is Joan Jett and I dont care
Just the feel of it on my flesh
Make me feel wild feel possessed
But Im not dont get me wrong
Im the baddest slick chick just singin this song
