[Verse 1]
Let me out of your iron grip
I don't want your lover's tips
I don't need your interrogations
Don't ask me 'bout my other relations

[Chorus]
You're (You're) too possessive for me
So leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're (You're) too possessive for me
So get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife

[Verse 2]
I come in late and you throw a fit
You sit me down and give me some lip
Well, I don't have to waste my time
A wimp like you ain't worth a dime

[Chorus]
You're (You're) too possessive for me
So leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're (You're) too possessive for me
So get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife
No way, baby

[Verse 3]
Go away and don't come back
I don't want my mirror cracked
Go and find somebody new
Got no time to mess with you

[Chorus]
You're (You're) too possessive for me
So leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're (You're) too possessive for me
So get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife
You're (You're) too possessive for me
So leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're (You're) too possessive for me
So get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife
No way, baby

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.
