Jump Lyrics

I get up and nothin' 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 to what's real

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

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

Hello, hey you Who said that? Baby, how you been? You say you don't know You won't know until you begin

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

Ah, might as well jump (jump) Go ahead and jump Might as well jump (jump) Go ahead and jump Jump

Might as well jump (jump) Go ahead and jump Get it and jump (jump) Go ahead and jump
