Black Leather

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 you 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 and feel possessed

But I'm not, don't get me wrong

I'm the baddest slick chick just singin' this song

Yeah

Lily 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 you cannot take what I would not give

Cuz that's the truth, that's how I live

Don't slick talk me to make me indulge

'Cause I am Joan and I am love

I have this friend in a waterbed

And he's real wild when he's soakin' wet

(Yo, Joan let's hang 'til the early dawn)

Scorp, chill 'til 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

Makes me feel wild and feel possessed

But I'm not, don't get me wrong

I'm the baddest slick chick just singin' this song

Yes, it's true that I show no shame

I was born a freak and I'm the blame?

I coulda been a mailman in any weather

Instead I'm 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?)

It's alright to be treated like a lady

I couldn't wait 'til that notion ceased

My friends thought that I was a little angel

I couldn't help it if I felt like a beast

So when I die don't worry about a coffin

There won't be no ashes to stuff in the urn

Just lay me out, toss on the charcoal lighter

And fire me up, smell the leather burn

(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 and feel possessed

But I'm not, don't get me wrong

I'm the baddest slick chick just singin' this song

(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 and feel possessed

But I'm not, don't get me wrong

I'm the baddest slick chick just singin' this song, oh
