Be my number two - Joe Jackson

Be my number two - Joe Jackson

21 december 2014
De kracht van dit deuntje zit 'm natuurlijk in dat einde. Prachtige climax waarin woorden niet meer nodig zijn. In de minuten ervoor heeft ie alles al wel gezegd. Een vleugje wanhoop, een vleug berusting, een enorme vleug Joe Jackson. Ja, die weet wel hoe je een liedje schrijft.
Is it worth the energy
I leave it up to you

Won't you be my number two
me and number one are through
there won't be too much to do
just smile when I feel blue

And there's not much left of me
what you get is what you see
is it worth the energy
I leave it up to you

And if you got something to say to me
don't try to lay your funny ways on me
I know that it's really not fair of me
but my heart's seen too much action

And every time I look at you
you'll be who I want you to
and I'll do what I can do
to make a dream or two come true
if you'd be my, if you'd be my number two

And if you got something to say to me
don't try to lay your funny ways on me
I know that it's really not fair of me
but my heart's seen too much action

And every time I look at you
you'll be who I want you to
and I'll do what I can do
to make a dream or two come true
if you'd be my, if you'd be my number two
