Jump
Anka Paul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get up, and nothin' ever gets me down
You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around
And I know, baby, just how you feel
You got to roll with the punches to get what's real

Oh, can't you see me standin' here?
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Can't you see what I mean?

Might as well jump (jump)
Might as well jump (jump)
Go ahead, jump (jump)
Go ahead and jump (jump)

(Hey, you)
Hey baby, how you been?
You say you don't know, you don't know until you begin

Can't you see me standing here?
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Can't you see what I mean?

Might as well jump (jump)
Might as well jump (jump)
Go ahead, jump (jump)
Go ahead and just jump (jump)
Knock yourself out

Can't you see me standin' here?
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Can't you see what I mean?

Might as well jump (jump)
Might as well jump (jump)
Go ahead, jump (jump)
Go ahead and jump, baby (jump)

Come on jump (jump)
Might as well jump (jump)
Go ahead knock yourself out (jump)
Go ahead and jump (jump)




Come on and jump (jump)
Jump

Would have liked if the orchestra added little hits on the “Can’t you see me standing here” part. That would have been sweet! Oh well, fabulous version otherwise! 👌🏾
