(Joan Jett)

Don't wanna leave you again baby
But ya know I have to someday
Don't wanna be alone again baby
But I know we found our own way
We hold ourselves together
It's a bond that can never be broken
I know we'll last forever
But there's something that I just gotta say

Wait for me my lover
Wait for me no other
Stay with me, oh please
Wait for me

You know it's really hard on me
To have to turn an' wave good-bye
An' I know it's hard on you too
All those lonely nites we cry but

Wait for me my lover
Wait for me no other
Stay with me, oh please
Wait for me

You know I get so scared inside
When I come back you won't want me
But then you tell me I'm your only one
I guess it's just my insecurity but

Wait for me my lover
Wait for me no other
Stay with me, oh please
Wait for 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.
