Ray Parker Jr. – Jack and Jill (Back Up The Hill) lyrics

Jack (Jack) wanting something to feel (Feel),
Sat up on the hill (Hill)
And waited all day for Jill.
Jill (Jill) always away from home, (Home)
Never bothering to phone. (Phone)
Always leaving poor Jack alone.

Now why do you think Jack snuck down the hill.
He snuck down the hill.
He needed love,
(He needed) Love he couldn't get from Jill.
Oh, yes he did.
Why do you think Jack snuck down the hill.
He snuck down the hill, yeah.
He needed love, (Oh, yes he did.)
(He needed) Love he couldn't get from Jill, yeah.

Jack (Jack), like Little Red Riding Hood (Hood),
Always trying to do good. (Good)
Waited as long as he could.
Jill (Jill), is it right or wrong (Wrong)
For Jack to carry on (On)
If you leave him home too long.

Now why do you think Jack snuck down the hill.
He snuck down, he snuck down, broke his crown.
He needed love,
Sweet love. (He needed) Love couldn't get from Jill.
Oh, sweet, sweet love. Uh, huh.
Why do you think (Hey, ha.) Jack snuck down the hill.
He snuck down the hill, yeah.
He needed love, (Oh, yes he did.)
(He needed) Love he couldn't get from Jill, yeah. Oh.

Jack.
Jill.
Jack.
Jill.

Now why do you think (Why do you think) Jack snuck down the hill.
Why do you think he snuck down the hill.
'Cause he needed love,
He needed love, (He needed) love he couldn't get from Jill.
Yes he did.
(Now why do you think Jack snuck down the hill.)
He got down on his right knee.
He got mud on his hands.
(He needed love,) And he crawled and crawled and crawled for so long.
(He needed love he couldn't get from Jill.)
(Now why do you think Jack snuck down the hill) Hey, eh, eh, eh.
He snuck down, he snuck down, broke his crown.
(He needed love,) He needed love.
(He needed love he couldn't get from Jill.)
He wanted sweet, sweet love, yeah.
(Now why do you think Jack's not down the hill.) Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
(He needed love,) Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
(He needed love he couldn't get from Jill.) Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oooh, oooh.
