New York-based not-for-profit foundation She’s The First sure had it right when they asked JoJo to perform at their “Girls Who Rock” benefit last night. The Prince fan debuted the title track from her upcoming album Jumping Trains, giving her first live performance of the soulful tune at the Gramercy Theater. And if you missed it, it no longer “Sucks To Be You” — we have the video below.
Think any of the other chicks who performed at “Girls Who Rock” brought the house down quite like JoJo did?
the lyrics are:
You keep chuggin along
on a road to nowhere
Nobody’s out there,
Im not even here anymore
You’re kinda boring me
You got stuck in your comfort zone
And it makes me so uncomfortable
And its not my fault
That you’re glued to your seat
I’m sorry.
And Im getting off this track
Cause you just hold me back
Baby your heart is just too strange
I can’t just be your girl
Who needs to see the world
If that’s the thing you can’t arrange
Then I’ll be jumping trains
(I’ll be jumpin, I’ll be jumpin)
(I’ll be jumpin, I’ll be jumpin)
I’ll be jumping trains
Its time you wake up
I remember
Snowflakes on the ground
But now, I look outside
To the sunny fields of green
(ohh)
And I hope for the feeling
That I once had
With the wind in my hair
And my life on track
Getting care with you
I just need the
Chance to run away
I love the lonely track
Cause you just hold me back
Baby, your heart is just too strange
I can’t just be your girl
I need to see the world
If that’s something you can’t arrange
Then I’ll be jumpin
Mr. Conductor can you
Stop this train right now
cause if I stay here with you
My life will just slow down
___ ___ ___ ___ ___
This thing you gave me(?)
(I’ll be jumpin, I’ll be jumpin)
(I’ll be jumpin, I’ll be jumpin)
I love the lonely track
Now I’m not lookin back
Baby your heart is just too strange
I cant just be your girl
I need to see the world
If that’s something you can’t arrange
Then I’ll be jumping trains
I’ll be jumping
(yeah) Trains
If that’s something you can’t arrange
Then I’ll be jumping trains
(I’ll be jumpin, I’ll be jumpin)
(I’ll be jumpin, I’ll be jumpin)
(I’ll be jumpin, I’ll be jumpin)
(trains)
And I’ll be jumping trains
I couldn’t make out that one line so if yall will help me out that’d be great!!
it should be more like “what i need is ___ living free or breathe”. i can’t hear that
looks promising…she has grown a lot with each album. Her previous label must be kicking themselves now.
