[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
