Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

(J. Jett/J. Allen)

You ran around like a hotshot
It was a matter of time
I always said I would get ya
And sooner or later I'd make you mine

Stop playin' this game with me
You know it drives me insane
You know you're just what I needed
I couldn't wait to take you away

Gotcha, where I want ya
Gotcha, yeah it's so true
Gotcha, where I want ya
I... I... g-g-g-gotcha, g-g-g-gotcha

Our love could be dangerous
It makes me tremble inside
I'm gettin' tired of chasin' you
Baby you can run but you can't hide

Gotcha, where I want ya
Gotcha, yeah, by the jewels
Gotcha, where I want ya
I... I... g-g-g-gotcha, g-g-g-gotcha

I got you but you don't know it
I got you but you don't know it
I... I... g-g-g-gotcha
I... I... g-g-g-gotcha, g-g-g-gotcha, g-g-g-gotcha

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.
