Black Leather (Live in New York - 1981)

(Joan 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 wicked when I start to dress

My clothes, they stare at me like they

Wanna make love to my body

I'm not a dream but I'm 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! I'm sure but what

As I suppose why do I get power from these clothes

Black leather, I wear it on stage

Black leather, I'm gonna wear it to my grave

Black leather, I will wear it anywhere

Because my name is JOAN JETT and I don't care

Just the feel of it on my flesh makes me

Feel wild feel possessed

But I'm not don't get me wrong

I'm the baddest slick chick just singin'

This song

Lilly white dresses sure they're 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

'cause that's the truth that's how I live

Listen don't slick talk me to make me indulge

'cause I am JOAN and I am luv!

I have this friend in a waterbed

He's real wild when he's soak'n'wet

Yo JOAN let's hang till the early dawn

SCORP chill till I put my leather on

Black leather, I wear it on stage

Black leather, I'm gonna wear it to my grave

Black leather, I will wear it anywhere

Because my name is JOAN JETT and I don't care

Just the feel of it on my flesh make me

Feel wild feel possessed

But I'm not don't get me wrong

I'm the baddest slick chick and I'm singin'

This song

This is true I gotta show no shame

I was born to freak and I'm to blame?
