Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

I need someone whoa how I need someone
I need someone, someone like you, you, you

Today my love has gone away
He won't be back he wants it that way
An' I need someone to take his place
Someone with a warm embrace
He promised me he would be true
Yeah, he said I love no one but you
But here I stand, I'm all alone
With nothin' to do but to stay at home

An' I need someone, oh how I need someone
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you

Yeah, we used to travel all around an' around
Yeah, we always went from town to town
But since my baby been gone away
I haven't had haven't had a happy day
Even though we were together for so long
I can't imagine what went wrong
Here we are so far apart
And now he's thinking that he's so smart

I need someone, oh how I need someone
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you

Oh, oh I need someone
Yeah, I really need someone
I need someone like you
Oh yes, I do baby

I need someone, oh how I need someone
Yes, and I need someone, someone like you, you, you

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.
