[Chorus]
Whoa, baby, you're a nag (Nag, nag, naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag, nag, naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag, nag, naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag, nag, naggity nag)
Would you go do this and go do that, nag (Nag, nag, naggity nag)

[Verse]
(Nag) You're always tellin' me what to do
(Nag) I just can't seem to get rid of you
(You're a nag) You order me around just like a slave
(Nag) You're gonna send me to an early grave
Would you go fix the bacon and don't burn the toast
(Run down to the butcher shop and buy me a roast)
(Nag) When is your naggin' ever gonna stop?
(Nag) You always seem to be a-blowin' your top
(You're a nag) One of these days I'm gonna lose my mind
(Nag) Jump out a window and I'll be real fine
Would you go do this and go do that
(Wash up all the dishes, and don't you talk back)

[Refrain]
When I met you you were oh so sweet
Now you give mе the bread and you take all thе meat
You're always screamin' and hollerin' loud
I'm gonna buy me a ticket to the nearest cloud

[Chorus]
You're a nag (Nag, nag, naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag, nag, naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag, nag, naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag, nag, naggity nag)
Would you go do this and go do that, nag
(Nag, nag, naggity nag) Hey you, get out of here

[Refrain]
When I met you, you were oh so sweet
Now you give me the bread and you take all the meat
You're always screamin' and hollerin' loud
I'm gonna buy me a ticket to the nearest cloud

[Chorus]
You're a nag (Nag, nag, naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag, nag, naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag, nag, naggity nag)
You're a nag (Nag, nag, naggity nag)
Would you go do this and go do that, nag
(Nag, nag, naggity nag) Oh, get out of here

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

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.
