Black Leather Lyrics

(Joan Jett/Reggie Griffin/Eddie Morris/William Adler)



I will not take off my clothes 

I will not be rude 

For what I have done 

Is come to rock you 



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 ya 

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 



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 feel possessed 

But I'm not don't get me wrong 

I'm the baddest slick chick just singin' 

This song 



Lilly 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 ya cannot take what I would not give 

Cuz that's the truth that's how I live 



Listen don't slick talk me to make me indulge 

Cuz I am JOAN and I am luv! 

I have this friend in a waterbed 

He's real wild when he's soak'n'wet 

Yo JOAN let's hang till the early dawn 

SCORP chill till I put my leather on 



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 make me 

Feel wild feel possessed 

But I'm not don't get me wrong 

I'm the baddest slick chick and I'm singin' 

This song 



This is true I gotta show no shame 

I was born to freak and I'm to blame? 

I coulda been a mailman in any weather 

Instead I'm rockin' away in my leather 

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 till 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 

Jus' lay me out toss on the charcoal lighter 

An' fire me up smell the leather burn 



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 make me 

Feel wild feel possessed 

But I'm not don't get me wrong 

I'm the baddest slick chick and I'm singin' 

This song 



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 make me 

Feel wild feel possessed 

But I'm not don't get me wrong 

I'm the baddest slick chick and I'm singin' 

This song
