Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

(Presley)

I can't stand still cause you got me goin'
Your pants are low and your hips are showin'
I watch you yea while you're standin' there
Your skin tight jeans and your sexy hair
Don't want you goin' round with no one else
Cause when I'm with you I can't control myself, yeah

Defenses down and you got me shakin'
You got me so that my nerves are achin'
If you knew me and your were in my world
Your knees would bend an' your hair would curl
You make me move yea like no one else
When I'm with you I can't control myself

I've got this feeling deep inside of me
It makes me be what I'm supposed to be
It makes me feel alright
When I'm with you at night an' we love
An' we love

Ya hold me so with this big temptation
This kind of feelin' could move the nation
An' I'm okay when I'm here with you
I do the things that ya want me to
I don't do these things for no one else
When I'm with you I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself

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.
