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.

Get That Girl Lyrics

Joe Jackson

Hey you
Im dancin with your girl
Her head is in a whirl
She dont know who to turn to
All right
Ill leave her just this time
But she could soon be mine
And I could soon be hers too
One night
Soon if Im lucky gonna get that girl
Im gonna make her mine
He sits there drinkin gin and
She sits there drinkin beer like me
Hes timing every move but
Shes only killing time like me
And of course
What will be will have to be
But I tread carefully
It could be a case of right place right time
Hey you
Im dancin with your girl
Her head is in a whirl
She dont know who to turn to
All right
Ill leave her just this time
But she could soon be mine
And I could soon be hers too
One night
Soon if Im lucky gonna get that girl
Im gonna make her mine
