I see you walking down the street
Just like candy, oh so sweet
You take my mind
I just wanna talk to you
Maybe have a drink or two
It ain't no crime
I've never seen you here before
Now I wanna see some more
Can't get enough
Maybe if I take a risk
It must be when I steal your kiss
'so make that cuffs?'

[Chorus:]
But I'm no good for you
And you're no good for me
We'll be as bad as we can be
Wait and see
Since I'm no good for you
And you're no good for me
Let's be as bad as we can be
You and me
I know you think I'm telling lies
But as we have it in your mind
As we believe
I knew you make it, let me walk you home
Be alone could be so all alone
Stick with me

[Chorus:]
But I'm no good for you
And you're no good for me
We'll be as bad as we can be
Wait and see
Since I'm no good for you
And you're no good for me
Let's be as bad as we can be
You and me
I'm waiting all night
I'm feeling all right
Waiting my whole life for you
I'm waiting all night
I'm feeling all right
Waiting my whole life for you
[Solo]
I've never felt this way before
I wanna feel it more and more
With you're here
I just wanna feel your charm
Just like a tattoo on my arm
I 'care' to see

[Chorus:]
But I'm no good for you
And you're no good for me
We'll be as bad as we can be
Wait and see
Since I'm no good for you
And you're no good for me
Let's be as bad as we can be
Let's be as bad as we can be
We'll be as bad as we can be
You and me
You and me
You and me
You and 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.
