If you said “Jump!”


Zoe
生平買的第一張外國專輯(1987),也是Debbie Gibson的首張專輯。
當時懵懵懂懂、沒人引介、對西洋音樂更沒熱情到認真研究,
與其說歪打正著,不如說
zoe從小就有驚人直覺(哈哈)
Debbie Gibson確實在接下來幾年叱吒歌壇,
但我最喜歡的單曲倒不是在
BillboardHot 100名列前茅那幾首,
If you said "Jump!"  I'd say "How high?"  
這歌詞對當時的我有多憧憬與衝擊,生命中真的會出現這樣的人嗎?
青春本該夢幻

We could be together

If I were an only child
I would be a lonely child
but baby we've got nothing to lose
I'm standing tall in my own shoes
I'll take this chance
I'll make this choice
I'll right this wrong
I'll raise my voice
if it means
We'll be together for a while

VERSE 2:
I have never had a doubt
But for you I'll take time out
I'll push his love far away from me
and then I'll be completely free
I'll give up my security
for just the possibility
that we could be together for a while

CHORUS:
If you said "Jump!" I'd say "How high?"
If you said "Run!" I'd run and fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
and if you ask once I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
if we could be together for a while

VERSE 3:
I am taken by your strength
I've thought about it at great length
I thought that I was happy now
but there are things that I found out
Happiness means greater things
I'll sit here 'til that telephone rings
then we could be together for a while

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Wait'll I tell my guy (wait'll I tell)
Wait'll I tell my other friends
They'll all think I'm crazy-and ya know what?
That depends…
'cause I'm crazy in love with you
and everyone's best won't do
They'll say my hopes will not come true
But I'm taking the chance
Because you only live once-
Only live once (only live once)

And…

If you said "Jump!" I'd say "How high?"
If you said "Run!" You know I'd fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
and if you ask once I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
if we could be together for a while

BRIDGE:
There are no guarantees
but if it means there's even a possibility
then I'll give up whatever it takes
I know I've made some mistakes before
It may be just another closed door
But we could be together for a while

If you said "Jump!" I'd say "How high?"
If you said "Run!" I'd run and fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
Ask me once I'll tell you twice,
You know I'll ignore the world's advice
if we could be together for a while
