1. Jack Jones (born Jan. 14, 1938, in Hollywood, Calif.) is a traditional pop singer, perhaps best known for his songs "I've Got Your Number" and "Wives and Lovers". The only son of actors Allan Jones and Irene Hervey, he released his first album in 1959 on Capitol Records, but he didn't find success until he moved to Kapp Records in the early 60s. During that decade, he was rated highly by contemporaries such as Frank Sinatra. Judy Garland even reportedly called him the best jazz singer in the world, though Jones was always a straight pop singer (even with contemporary material) and merely ventured in the direction of jazz. He has won two Grammy Awards.

Having toured for decades since his 60s heyday, Jones still performs concerts around the world and remains popular on the casino circuit. Many of his tunes are included in various mutli-artist compliation albums. Some of his best-known songs are "The Impossible Dream," " "Wives And Lovers" (1964 Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance)," "The Race Is On," "Lollipops and Roses" (1962, Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance), "Lady," and "The Love Boat Theme".

It Might Be You
Jack Jones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string
I'd say that I had spring fever
But I know it isn't spring

I am starry-eyed and vaguely discontented
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
Oh, why should I have Spring fever

When it isn't even spring?

I keep wishing I were somewhere else
Walking down a strange new street
Hearing words that I have never heard
From a girl I've yet to meet

I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud or a robin on the wing
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
That it might as well be spring

It might as well be spring

Line by Line Meaning

I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I feel unsettled and agitated, like a willow tree swaying in a storm

I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string
I am nervous and jittery, like a puppet being controlled by strings

I'd say that I had spring fever But I know it isn't spring
I am feeling restless and longing for change, but I know it's not spring that's causing it

I am starry-eyed and vaguely discontented Like a nightingale without a song to sing
I am dreamy and unsatisfied, like a nightingale that can't find the right tune to sing

Oh, why should I have Spring fever When it isn't even spring?
I am wondering why I am feeling so restless and longing for change when it's not even Spring

I keep wishing I were somewhere else Walking down a strange new street Hearing words that I have never heard From a girl I've yet to meet
I am daydreaming about being somewhere new and exciting and meeting someone special who has never crossed my path

I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I am caught up in my own thoughts and imagination, feeling excited and lightheaded

I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud or a robin on the wing But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
I haven't seen any signs of Spring or new beginnings, but I still feel happy in a bittersweet kind of way

That it might as well be spring It might as well be spring
I feel so hopeful and optimistic that it doesn't matter if it's not actually Spring - it feels like a fresh start and new opportunities are on the horizon
