1. The Jets are a family band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, composed of brothers and sisters who specialize in pop, R&B, and dance music, particularly Latin freestyle.
The group officially formed in 1985, with the original lineup fizzling out by 1990. Several members of the family stayed on throughout the 1990s, unofficially reviving the group in the mid to late 1990s as a gospel outfit with most of the original members present.
Various record companies have released collections of songs from the group's popular period, while the modern incarnation of the group continues to perform at various small venues, primarily casinos and private corporate functions.
2. The Jets formed in Utrecht, Netherlands in 1958 as The Rocking Explosives and debuted on stage in 1960. Their instrumental guitarmusic sounded similar to The Shadows. They renamed the band to The Jets in 1963. The group had a big hit in Japan with an instrumental version of 'Goldfinger' under the name The Goldfingers (due to another band in Japan called The Jets). In 1966 The Jets were aiming for succes in England and recorded the single The Pied Piper, a later hit in the version by Crispian St. Peters. The Jets reformed in 1982 and still performs today.
3. Great pop has not been as prominent this decade as in the last but songwritters Graham and Mick are helping to remedy that. It's obvious they share the thoughts and dreams of John, Paul, The Hollies and Dave Clark. Both cuts are previously released as a single, TTR 7805.

I don't wanna hide it
You like that about me
And I don't wanna fight it
You say it's amazing
But that doesn't phase you
This ego is blazing
How can you say that I'm wrong
How can you?
How can you say that I'm wrong
How can you?
How can you say that I'm wrong
How can you?
How can you say that I'm wrong
How can you?
How can you?
The reason you call me
To spend all my money
You tell me you're leaving
And I gotta believe it
So how can you say that I'm wrong
How can you?
How can you say that I'm wrong
How can you?
How can you say that I'm wrong
How can you?
How can you say that I'm wrong
How can you?
'Cause I need you to love me
And I need you to touch me
Well, I need you to love me
Oh, I need you
Said I still need you to love me
And I need you to touch me
Well, I need you to love me
Oh, I need you
Just say that you love me
Don't say that you're leaving
Just say that you need me
Don't say that I'm wrong
(You)
(You)
Oh how can you say that I'm wrong
How can you?
How can you say that I'm wrong
How can you? (You)
Just say that you love me (You)
Don't say that you're leaving
Just say that you love me
Don't say that I'm wrong
In The Jets's song You, the singer is in a relationship with someone who seems to appreciate their local roots and personality. However, the singer's ego clashes with their partner's more reserved and quiet demeanor. The chorus repeats the question of how the partner can say that the singer is wrong, and the bridge hints at some conflict between them, possibly over money or trust. Despite this, the singer declares that they need their partner's love and touch, and begs them to stay and not leave.
The lyrics of You seem to depict a relationship in a state of strain and tension. The singer appears to be a bit self-absorbed and arrogant, with an ego that is "blazing," in contrast with their partner's more reserved nature. It is unclear what specific disagreement they have regarding money and trust, but it seems to cause friction in their relationship. Despite this, the singer is desperate for their partner to stay and wants their love and touch. Perhaps the song is about trying to bridge cultural and personality differences in a relationship and needing to compromise and communicate more effectively.

If you only know the tumultuous tortures I had to go through to find this song...
Going through Google and reddit searches finding a song about "a waitress in a diner singing" etc, couldn't find anything and literally gave up looking for over three years.
Then on the eve of 2023, I'm by myself cleaning my room listening to an internet radio station, boom this song plays and its the greatest moment of 2022 to end it off.
Thank you for coming back into my life "The Jetts"!!
I'll never forget this amazing song ever again.

I, I was the game he would play
He brought the clouds to my day
Then like a ray of light
You came my way one night
Just one look and I knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
Put all your fears to rest
Who do I love the best
Don't you know, don't you know?
You've got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
Over him
No, don't let him worry you so
Once I met you, I let go
Oh you can surely see
You're so much more to me
Just one look and I knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
You're better than all the rest
Who do I love the best
Don't you know, don't you know?
You've got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
All over him
Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
All over him
Honey, it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven-sent
Hearing me call, you went out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
Over him

I was in junior high and high school during the 80s. It was a great decade to be a teenager. Most Americans actually loved the USA! Computers took off. The music was motivating and one could actually understand the words. Sport heroes wanted to win (not promote themselves). Public schools knew right from wrong and were allowed to stand on principles. I feel so sorry for today's teenagers.
