I've been working so hard, I've been feeling the pain
Sure got pains in my head, my legs feel limp
Don't want to hear no noise, don't want to hear you cuss
I need peace of mind, don't you make no fuss

Jump on top of me, baby

Jump on top of me, baby

Jump on top of me, girl
Give it to me nice and slow

Well there's too much talking about this and that
And the window needs fixing, better feed the cat
We're fresh out of beer, could you answer the phone?
If you call this bisque, well I'm leaving home


Jump on top of me, baby

Jump on top of me, baby

Jump on top of me, girl
Give it to me nice and slow

All right


Well jump on top of me, baby

Mm, jump on top of me, baby

Get on top of me, girl
Everybody lay down low

Well

When we first met, we were both so young
We didn't give a damn how the clock would run
The time is right to make some fool of you
Cause it's getting late - what would you like to do?


Jump on top of me, baby

Get on top of me, baby

Jump on top of me, girl
Give it to me nice and slow


Oh jump on top of me, baby

Jump on top of me, baby
Jump on top of me, girl
Give it to me nice and slow


All right, j
ump on top of me, baby
Jump on top of me, baby

Jump on top of me, girl
Everybody lay down low

All right, j
ump on top of me, baby
Yeah, top of me, baby

On top of me, girl
Everybody lay down low

I can't stand it when the sun comes up
Going to need some comfort 'cause I can't stand up
Shut the blinds, I'm going to shut the shade
And tell the neighbors we'll be gone for days


Jump on top of me, baby

Jump on top of me, baby
Jump on top of me, girl
Give it to me nice and slow

All right


 

TrackTalk

I wrote the B-side of the single Love Is Strong (on demand). Don Was said, Well, you know, we should have the B-sides done this week. It was always, like, next week we were gonna do the B-sides. And when we were there the last night in Dublin, Don said, Well, we should really have done the B-sides. I said, Well, I didn't do any B-sides. I didn't write any B-sides. He said, Well, couldn't you just go and write them? This is like at the end of the 6 weeks. And I said, Don, I feel, like, really tired. I do not want to write the B-sides. And he said, Well, why can't you just go in the corner of the cafeteria and do them? I said, Okay, I'll try it. So I went in and wrote The Storm and the next one, which is called Jump on Top of Me, and the next one, which is called, ah... (laughs). I forget what I called it! It's called Drive something - I don't know - Ride All Night or something. I can't remember; I changed it. But anyway, I wrote the three of them in one go. Walked in the room and just sat down and played them. And then we did them all in one take. So they were written and played all in one take. So that's writing on demand. And then I'll finish the lyrics up later.

- Mick Jagger, 1994
