Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

(Joan Jett/Kenny Laguna)

I did not give you nonsense
I never promised you
You seem to think there's more to this
Than a wham bam girl can do

Leavin' you is so intense
But I'll be back again
When I come to see you
Don't be askin' when

Whoa, stop your cryin'
(Stop your cryin')
Wipe those tears away
I said hey
I hate long good-byes
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes

I told you to get on it
I felt those butterflies
I knew that you were flippin' out
When I looked into your eyes

Oh, stop your cryin'
(Stop your cryin')
Wipe those tears away
I said hey
I hate long good-byes
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes

Don't you be neurotic
The moment was superb
And if you thought I loved you
I never said those words

Oh, stop your cryin'
(Stop your cryin')
Wipe those tears away
I said hey
I hate long good-byes
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')

I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes

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.
