Crush On You
The Jets
Written by Jerry Knight & Aaron Zigman
From LP "The Jets"

::clapping hands and poppin' (jammin' with flourescent wristbands):::::

Chorus
How did you know
'Cause I never told
You found out
I got a crush on you
No more charades
My heart's been displayed
You found out
I got a crush on you

You must have heard it from my best friend
She's always talkin' when she should be listenin'
Can't keep a secret to save her life
But still I trusted her with all I felt inside
I never knew a rumor could spread so fast
'Cause now the word is out all over town
That I'm longing for you

chorus

Maybe I was the one who left the trace
Was there a message written on my face?
Were mt emotions so easily read
That you would know my thoughts before a word was said
Was it my eyes
That let you know you had control
Because the way you move was so self-assured
You knew I would surrender

chorus

Instrumental bridge
Ahhhhh-hhhhhahhhhh-ahhhhh! (x2)

I saw The Jets perform this at the MN State Fair Talent Show. They won first place. I loved the song “Make It Real.” Those Mormons could sing. Or so I thought when I was 11.

We used to sing this in high school as "Poop On You".

One of the best first verses ever written

Praise it! That song is so cute and fun. Love it!

that is eeeeevil.

and i still love this song...i have a video compilation of all of the jets' videos, too. i should watch it tonight, cuz it's sooooo fun to watch....dancin with their bright clothes and their chucks (man, they must've had pairs in every color under the sun! )

I was a huge Jets fan. One of my first concerts I attended was The Jets and Stacey Q.

"Make it Real" was the jam as well. "Curiosity" always reminded me of Prince.

They had a weekly gig back in the late 90's in Phoenix when I was living there and I saw them there a couple of times...it was pretty fun.

In March 1986,I went to a concert that featured these three acts...

Ready For The World
Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick
The Jets

And let me tell you,The Jets stole the show! They came out first,singing "Private Number" (remember that jam?) and they rocked.The single "Crush On You" had just been released and you could tell it would soon become a big hit.It was outrageously catchy and fun.

And when they released "You Got It All" as a single,folks went crazy.Even my mother went out and bought that single.

I liked this song in 80s- it wasn't a hit there , I forgot it now I will try to find it on Kazaa to make my brother know it

I like this track and the Jets! However, my favorite is definitely "Curiosity."

A little trivia about the Jets...


***The video for their 1987 hit "I Do You" was filmed at Paisley Park

***Prince offered them a song "Neon Telephone" for their second album,but they turned it down.

***Their 1987 hit "Rocket 2 U" was originally offered to a reunited Earth Wind and Fire.It's a great song,but it's hard to imagine Maurice White singing those bubblegum lyrics

Okay, I don't know if you can call this "trivia" but the redhead (bottom, left) who reminds me of Harpo Marx was adopted.
