Goddess of Rock and Roll

Goddess of Rock and Roll
Joan Jett
I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
You're living in the past, it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that's
What I'm gonna do
An' I don't give a damn ' bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me

An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
An' I'm only doin' good
When I'm havin' fun
An' I don't have to please no one
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
An' I don't really care
If ya think I'm strange
I ain't gonna change
An' I'm never gonna care
'Bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

Pedal boys!

An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
The world's in trouble
There's no communication
An' everyone can say
What they want to say
It never gets better anyway
So why should I care
'Bout a bad reputation anyway
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
You're living in the past
It's a new generation
An' I only feel good
When I got no pain
An' that's how I'm gonna stay
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
Not me, not me

I can see the sadness in your eyes
Hard knocks an' hurt are hard to hide
It can be a long an' lonely ride
But it makes ya strong inside

When you're down an' out the streets get rough
You need love but ya just don't enough
An' ya feel like no one's on your side

When you wanna throw it all away an' you've had it

Don't surrender don't surrender
Cause the fight inside your heart's
Your best defender don't surrender

Ya try so hard but ya feel just like a clown
An' there ain't enough luck to go around
All your dreams they crash right to the ground
You wanna get right outta town

You can say "What the hell I've given up lay down to die" but it's just a bluff
Cause ya know there's no place left to hide

Sometimes life seems like a war an' you're surrounded

Don't surrender don't surrender
Cause the fight inside your heart's
Your best defender don't surrender
Don't give up when ya know you're right
When you're feelin all alone just remember
Don't surrender

When you wanna throw it all away an' you've had it

Don't surrender
Don't surrender

Life is never what you think
Give a sentimental wink
There ya go you don't know what's in store
But you felt it before

Hey, I'm warmin' up to your insides
I don't worry cause I got no ties
Not a guy not a girl not a thing
Not a thing in this world

Come on out, come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out, come on out
Come on out and play with me

Hey baby did ya ever feel like being crazy
The borderlines are getting hazy
Rules are what we forgot, you're a blaze
Leave them reeling for days

Come on out, come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out, come on out
Come on out and play with me

We'll have lots of fun, let our emotions run
Nothing tonight is gonna get us down
We'll have lots of thunder, let our emotions run
They go round and round and round round

Come on out, come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out, come on out
Come on out and play with me
(Lyrics: Bad Reputation, Don't Surrender, Play With Me: Joan Jett & Kenny Laguna)
