(Joan Jett/Desmond Child/Kenny Laguna)

I can tell that somethin's changed
When you touch me I feel strange
There's a difference when we kiss
Who's this stranger on my lips
In this bed we're outta place
But the truth's too hard to face

In the mornin' we can do an inventory of our history
But for now I don't wanna know

Lie to me even if it's just for tonight
Make it feel like it used to be
Come on' lie to me you don't have to look in my eyes
When you lyin' next to me I'll try to believe when you lie to me

Don't let go of me just yet
Hold me close like we just met
Take it slow to ease the pain
Let it sink into my brain

In the end we just might find we somehow end up bein' the best of friends
But for now I don't wanna know

Come on' lie to me even it it's just for tonight
Make it feel like it used to be
Come on' lie to me you don't have to look in my eyes
When you're lyin' next to me I'll try to believe you when you lie to me

In the mornin' I'll set you free
But tonight be kind and baby
Lie to me even if it's just for tonight
Make if feel like it used to be
Come on' lie to me you don't have to look in my eyes
When you're lyin' next ot me I'll try to believe you when you lie to me
Lie to me even if it's just a disguise
Take me now before it gets to me
Come on' lie to me you don't have to look in my eyes

Lie to me even if it's just for one night
Lie to me you don't have to look in my eyes

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.
