All I Can Do
Jump5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's like I've got nothing to do but think about you (all I can do, all I can do)

Everyday is a new day
And I don't have to pretend
All my friends think I'm crazy
But I don't want this to end

When I have the chance I wanna say to you
Wishing I could take back what I put you through
I'll never do it again
We're like oil and water still we somehow mix
And what used to be broken is somehow fixed
It's hard to explain

I know some people say
That opposites attract
If that's the truth then we
We will be together forever

It's like I got nothing to do but think about you
I've got all the time in the world
If you look in my heart
You'll know from the start
That's its all I can do
Not to think about you

I gave you good reason
To walk out that door
Let me tell you I've learned a thing or two

And I'm so amazed at the things you do
Now don't let me go oh no

I know some people say
That opposites attract
If that's the truth then we,
We're meant to be together forever

It's like I got nothing to do but think about you
I've got all the time in the world
If you look in my heart
You'll know from the start
That's its all I can do
Not to think about you

I know some people say
That opposites attract
If that's the truth then we,
We belong together forever

It's like I got nothing to do but think about you
I've got all the time in the world
If you look in my heart
You'll know from the start




That's its all I can do
Not to think about you

Overall Meaning

Jump5's song "Why Do I Do" is a reflection of a young person's intense, deep feelings for someone they can't seem to get off their mind. The lyrics express the singer's dilemma, that their mind is constantly preoccupied with thoughts of this person, despite their conflicting differences and prior relationship issues. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that they don't have anything else to do but think about the person in question, describing how every day feels like they're starting anew, and that they don't want their relationship to end. They express their desire to apologize for whatever hurt they've caused in the past, emphasizing that they've learned from their mistakes and that they won't repeat them. The singer then acknowledges the many differences between them and their partner, likening them to oil and water. But somehow, they magically find a way to mix, and their relationship mends even though they can't always explain how. The singer then acknowledges the popular theory that opposites attract, and that therefore, their differences shouldn't be an obstacle in their relationship. They end the song by again expressing their complete devotion and obsession with their partner, saying that they don't have anything else to do but think about them.


The song carries a mixture of youthful yearning, new love, and deep devotion, all wrapped up in an upbeat pop melody. It captures the essence of the teenage experience of first love, where one feels completely absorbed by the person they're drawn to. Its lyrics are honest and relatable, and the production is a perfect example of contemporary pop at the time of its release. Overall, it's a song that speaks to the romantic in all of us.

Oh the glory days when I got ready for school in the morning, play this song, put my butterfly clips in, wear my sparkly roll on glitter from bath and body works, and of course my lip smack 😭😭😭

Nostalgia's hitting me like a freight train

Anukii

This song is STILL catchy. <3 I'd blast this song whenever it came on Radio Disney when I was a kid. I'm 20 now and this song still has my heart~

Kellyn

I remember I met them when I was in 2nd grade and it was like the best day of my life. They were so friendly, they hugged me and took pictures with me, and signed my school folder. I was so proud to show off their autographs when I got to school the next day. Jump 5 will forever be in my heart <3

Ass and Cash

its funny how populr they were, and most fans had no idea they are a Christian band. I remember seeing them live at a huge Christian concert on the 4th of July, and how excited I was to get their autographs. I cant remember how old I was then. but, I miss this group sssoooooo much!!

Damien

I use to listen to this song on Radio Disney. This song also was playing when I got my first kiss from my High School sweetheart. Now I'm 27, and this song still rocks. It's so nostalgic.

missnicky20

I saw them in concert once! They had insane energy!!

quasimoto270

you're not the only one, i love this kind of music from groups like this, including backstreet boys, nsync, youngstown, dream, blaque, tlc, destiny's child. and girl singers like britney, christina, mandy moore, jessica simpson, etc.
