[Verse 1]
Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day
And suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you, girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

[Chorus]
(Love is all around)
No need to fake it
(You can have the town)
Why don't you take it?
You're gonna make it after all

[Verse 2]
How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big, and girl, this time you're all alone
Well, it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving

[Chorus]
(Love is all around)
No need to fake it
(You can have the town)
Why don't you take it?
You're gonna make it after all
(You're gonna make it after all)

[Verse 3]
You're the one most likely to succeed
Just be sure to keep your head
'Cause girl, you know that's all you need
Everyone around adores you
Don't give up, the world is waiting for you

[Chorus]
(Love is all around)
No need to waste it
(You can have the town)
Why don't you take it?
You're gonna make it after all

[Verse 4]
Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Whooooooooo
And suddenly make it all seem worthwhile
Well it's you, girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

[Outro]
(Love is all around)
No need to waste it
(You can have the town)
Why don't you take it?
You're gonna make it after all
(You're gonna make it after all)
Owww!

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.
