Joe Jackson(born August 11, 1954 in Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, as David Ian Jackson) is a British musician. Jackson is probably best-known for the 1982 hit song Steppin' Out, which still gets extensive FM radio airplay, and for his 1979 hit, Is She Really Going Out with Him? Although born in Staffordshire, Jackson grew up in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. He started off learning to play the violin but soon switched to piano. From the age of 16 he played in bars, and won a scholarship to study musical composition at London's Royal Academy of Music. Jackson did not like the prospect of being a serious composer, and moved towards pop and rock.

Be My Number Two Lyrics

Joe Jackson

Wont you be my number two
Me and number one are through
There wont be too much to do
Just smile when I feel blue
And theres 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
Dont try to play your funny games on me
I know that its really not fair of me
But my hearts seen too much action
And every time I look at you
Youll be who I want you to
And Ill do what I can do
To make a dream or two come true
If youll be my
If you be my number two
