          Album is the third studio album by Joan Jett and the second to feature her backing band The Blackhearts. The album was originally released in July 1983.

         Unlike Joan Jett's two previous albums, only two tracks are cover songs, though this had not been the original plan. During the recording of the album, Jett commented, "I know what's going to happen. When we included lots of covers, people would call us on it. If we don't they'd say, 'Where's the covers?'"

My one and only shining star said

Stick with me and I'll take you far

Your eyes are sparkling with teenage fire

I'll satisfy your mad desires cause

 

I love playing with fire

And I don't wanna get burned

I love playing with fire

And I don't think I'll ever learn

 

My heart is aching to see you play

And I can't wait till another day

The way you shake me is really hot

You know how to use what you got

 

I love playing with fire

And I don't wanna get burned

I love playing with fire

And I don't think I'll ever learn

 

Acting tough with looks that kill

You got me going and I can't stand still

My arms are dying to hold ya tight

You're my little dark dynamite you know

 

I love playing with fire

And I don't wanna get burned

I love playing with fire

And I don't think I'll ever learn.
