Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

(Jett/Laguna/Anders)

Just a little girl in love staring at a penthouse suite
Waiting for the star above to come and join her
On the street

Maybe he'll want some company and she's got a dirty plan
But he can disappear so suddenly better grab 'em while you can you better

Standing in a lonely room high above the crowd below
With no one there to share the gloom when
Underneath begins to show

Living in a world of fantasy can't let the image fall
But he ain't the man he planned to be and he would
Give it all

For just a little girl in love someone who could share his day
And just what he was dreaming of
Was just a hundred feet away

Just a little girl in love just a little girl in love
There was just a little girl in love there was just a little girl in love

After splitting with The Runaways, and releasing her first solo album, Joan Jett placed an ad in LA Weekly looking for bandmates. Gary Ryan, Eric Ambel, and Danny “Furious” O'Brien joined her, creating the orginial Blackhearts lineup.

After their initial tour though, O'Brien was replaced with Lee Crystal.

Early on, keeping the band afloat was not easy. Joan and producer Kenny Laguna struggled, sometimes selling copies of albums from the trunk of his car. Eventually unable to keep up with the demand for Joan Jett’s album, they signed with Boardwalk Records.
