Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

(J. Jett/K. Hanna)

Maybe I don't wanna maybe I don't wanna, wanna
Maybe I don't wanna fuck you!

I'm a spinster, I don't need no rules
I don't got no one tellin' me what to do
Tellin' me what's cool? I'm no stupid fool

Hey teen ageist I'm not over yet
Y-O-U-T-H only, baby, that's your math
I'm a spinster, I don't need your rules
I'm resisting, I don't need no one to
Tell me what's cool or how I need a tool
To get thru to you

I'm no one's wife and' I'm not your little girl
Don't tell me I'm useless cuz I want
More from this world

Maybe I don't wanna maybe I don't wanna, wanna
Maybe I don't wanna maybe I don't wanna
Maybe I don't wanna maybe I don't wanna, wanna
Maybe she don't wanna fuck you!
Hey ever think of that?

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.
