[Refrain]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like I've been here before
It's like the past knocking on my door
Sometimes I feel like I'm standing still
Or better yet I'm running up a hill

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel like I need a crutch
Sometimes I feel like it's all too much
Sometimes I wonder what are we here for
And if I wanna do it anymore

[Chorus]
I need a frеsh start, let's get back to the top
Rеwind the tape and reset the clock
This time, there's no turning back

[Refrain]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
So you say you're not satisfied
And you want a bigger piece of pie
Take my advice, don't hesitate
Before you know it it'll be too late

[Chorus]
To make a fresh start and get back to the top
Rewind the tape and reset the clock
This time, we're not gonna stop
Just want a fresh start, let's go back to the top
Rewind the tape and reset the clock
This time, there's no turning back

[Refrain]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 4]
Sometimes I feel like I've been here before
It's like the past knocking on my door
Sometimes I feel like I'm standing still
Or better yet I'm running up a hill
Don't wanna hear that you're feeling old
Times are tough, you better search your soul
There's still time for one more dance
We may never get another chance

[Chorus]
To make a fresh start and get back to the top
Rewind the tape and reset the clock
This time, there's no turning back
Just want a fresh start, let's go back to the top
Rewind the tape and reset the clock
This time, we're not gonna stop
This time, there's no turning back
This time, we're not gonna stop

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.
