Letra de
Jump

A música Jump do Van Halen foi inspirada por o tecladista Eddie Van Halen querendo fazer algo positivo e eletrizante. Ele criou a melodia principal numa manhã, e a banda desenvolveu a música em volta dela. A letra foi influenciada por um homem que estava ameaçando se jogar de um prédio enquanto a banda assistia as notícias. David Lee Roth imaginou o que alguém poderia dizer para persuadir a pessoa a não pular e isso se tornou o tema da música.

I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around.
And I know, baby, just how you feel.
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real

Oh, 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.
Oh, can't you see what I mean?

Might as well jump. Jump!
Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.

Aaa-ohh, hey you! Who said that?
Baby, how you been?
You say you don't know, you won't know
Until we begin.

Well, 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.
Oh, can't you see what I mean?

Might as well jump. Jump!
Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.
(Guitar Solo)


Might as well jump. Jump!
Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.
