Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

(B. Gentry/R. Cordell/B. Bloom)

I can still remember
It wasn't long ago
Things you used to tell me
You said I had to know
Told me that you loved me
And that you always would
Then I said I loved you
You said that that was good
Then you made a promise, said you'd never want me to go
Oh no

Indian giver Indian giver
You took your love away from me
Indian giver Indian giver
Took back the love you gave to me

Baby I was feeling
The way I want to feel
You had me believing
The love we had was real
Things we did together
You said they'd never end
Now until forever Oh yeah that was what you said
Then when I was down I knew you'd always be there
Oh yeah

Indian giver Indian giver
You took your love away from me
Indian giver Indian giver
Took back the love you gave to me

Indian giver Indian giver
You took your love away from me
Indian giver Indian giver
Took back the love you gave to me

Indian giver Indian giver
You took your love away from me
Indian giver Indian giver
Took back the love you gave to me

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.
