[Verse 1]
So messed up, I want you here
And in my room, I want you here
Yeah
And now we're gonna be face to face, ugh
And I'll lay right down in my favorite place
Yeah, you know what that is

Now I wanna be your dog
Now I wanna be your dog
Now I wanna be your dog

Now I'm ready to feel your hands
Lose my heart on the burning sands

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

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.
