Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

Yeah
I know
We're runnin aground
And I see
It's getting ya down
It's hard enough trying to keep control
Holdin' on when I should let go
And I hear
What you're tryin' to say
And I see
That there's no other way
I admit it
You done your best
It ain't easy to accept
Can't live without you
You can't live with me

I know
That it's breakin your heart
And I'd help
If I knew where to start
I wanna ride
And my love is strong
But everything
I do is wrong
And I cry
Cuz I caused your pain
And if I could
Do it over again
I would
Never tell you any lies
It took so long to realize
I can't live without you
You can't live with me

If only could talk you into it
Get you to wait just a little bit
I know I could show you
I can change

I can't help how I feel inside
I talk to you
And there's no reply
Can't live without you
You can't live with me
Can't live without you
Can't live without you
And you can't live with me

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.
