Joe Jackson

Joe Jackson (born David Ian Jackson, 11 August 1954) is an English musician and singer-songwriter now living in Berlin, whose five Grammy Award nominations span from 1979 to 2001. He is probably best known for the 1979 hit song and first single "Is She Really Going Out with Him?", which still gets extensive US FM radio airplay; for his 1982 hit, "Steppin' Out"; and for his 1984 success with "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)". He was popular for his pop/rock and New Wave music early on before moving to more eclectic, though less commercially successful, pop/jazz/classical hybrids. more »

 Struggling with Go for It? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Everybody's wasting time.
Everybody stands in line.
Think of "Babe Ruth"

And you think of hot dogs and beer
But if he can hit a home run, so can you,
And your weight is just nowhere near.
Am I making myself quite clear?
Is that the best you can do?
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it.
If that's the best you can do
Get out of my place.
Take anyone's face.
Come last in the race, but

[chorus]
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it.
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it.
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it.
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it.

The clock is ticking on the wall.
Everybody has to fall.
Think of "Ray Charles"
And you think of sun glasses at night.
But if he can play oiano, so can you,
And you can tell black from white.
Can you tell me that I'm not right?
Is that the best you can do?
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it.
If that's the best you can do
Get out of my life.
Be anyone's wife
And do what you like, but

[chorus]

Think of "Babe Ruth"
And you think of hot dogs and beer
But if he can hit a home run, so can you,
And your weight is just nowhere near.
Am I making myself quite clear?
Is that the best you can do?
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it.
If that's the best you can do
Get out of your shell.
Be anyone's pal.
Do bad or do well, but
Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it
