Black Leather Lyrics by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
Good Music
1986
[Intro: Joan Jett] I will not take off my clothes I will not be rude For what I have done Is come to rock you [Verse 1: Joan Jett] Late at night while the normals rest I feel wicked when I start to dress My clothes, they stare at me Like they wanna make love to my body I'm not a dream but I'm supreme And if you listen to the sky, you see what I mean When it rains outside, people run and hide I walk the streets and start to pry And wonder, was I here before? In another life? Yes! I'm sure But what, as I suppose Why do I get power from these clothes? [Chorus: Joan Jett] (Black leather) I wear it on stage (Black leather) I'm gonna wear it to my grave (Black leather) I will wear it anywhere Because my name is Joan Jett and I don't care Just the feel of it on my flesh Makes me feel wild and feel possessed But I'm not, don't get me wrong I'm the baddest slick chick just singin' this song Yeah [Verse 2: Joan Jett & Scorpio] Lily white dresses, sure they're cute They also attract a lot of men to you But they make you feel real vulnerable From anything that got muscle But you cannot take what I would not give Cuz that's the truth, that's how I live Don't slick talk me to make me indulge 'Cause I am Joan and I am love I have this friend in a waterbed And he's real wild when he's soakin' wet (Yo, Joan let's hang 'til the early dawn) Scorp, chill 'til I put my leather on [Chorus: Joan Jett] (Black leather) I wear it on stage (Black leather) I'm gonna wear it to my grave (Black leather) I will wear it anywhere Because my name is Joan Jett and I don't care Just the feel of it on my flesh Makes me feel wild and feel possessed But I'm not, don't get me wrong I'm the baddest slick chick just singin' this song [Bridge: Scorpio with Joan Jett] Yes, it's true that I show no shame I was born a freak and I'm the blame? I coulda been a mailman in any weather Instead I'm rockin' away in my leather [Verse 3: Joan Jett] When I was young I wore skirts and lace My father told me to slow down my pace His friends would come over and get in my face And ask the same question: (Mine or your place?) It's alright to be treated like a lady I couldn't wait 'til that notion ceased My friends thought that I was a little angel I couldn't help it if I felt like a beast So when I die don't worry about a coffin There won't be no ashes to stuff in the urn Just lay me out, toss on the charcoal lighter And fire me up, smell the leather burn [Chorus: Joan Jett] (Black leather) I wear it on stage (Black leather) I'm gonna wear it to my grave (Black leather) I will wear it anywhere Because my name is Joan Jett and I don't care Just the feel of it on my flesh Makes me feel wild and feel possessed But I'm not, don't get me wrong I'm the baddest slick chick just singin' this song [Outro: Joan Jett] (Black leather) I wear it on stage (Black leather) I'm gonna wear it to my grave (Black leather) I will wear it anywhere Because my name is Joan Jett and I don't care Just the feel of it on my flesh Makes me feel wild and feel possessed But I'm not, don't get me wrong I'm the baddest slick chick just singin' this song, oh
