Off the Wall

off.jpg

.: Michael Jackson's 'Off the Wall' album was his first solo-album. Before its release in 1979, he was part of 'The Jackson 5' with his brothers. He decided he could make it big and become a success if he were to go solo, and boy was he right! The album had a total of 4 singles, and a fifth in England. In the songs 'Working Day And Night' and 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough'  (both written by Michael), Michael took part in the percussion along with his brother Randy and sister Janet. When he was in the recording studio singing 'She's Out Of My Life' he always cried, so for one of the takes Quincy decided to leave it in because of the emotion the song brought on. (You can hear him crying at the end of the song, and it wasn't faked.) :.

~**Rock With You

Girl, close your eyes
Let that rhythm get into you
Don't try to fight it
There ain't nothin' that you can do
Relax your mind
Lay back and groove with mine
You got to feel that heat
And we can ride the boogie
Share the beat of love

I wanna rock with you (all night)
Dance you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
We're gonna rock the night away

Out on the floor
There ain't nobody there but us
Girl, when you dance
There's a magic that must be love
Just take it slow
We got so far to go
When you feel that heat
And we're gon' ride the boogie
Share the beat of love

I wanna rock with you (all night)
Dance you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
We're gonna rock the night away

And when the groove is dead and gone (yeah)
You know that love survives
So we can rock forever on...

I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with youuu
I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with youuu

I wanna rock (all night) with you, girl (sunlight)
Rock with you, rock with you yeah (all night)
Dance the night away (rock, ride)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Rock you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Rock the night away (rock, ride)
Feel the heat, feel the beat (all night)
Rock you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock.....
Rock the night away

~**Off The Wall

When the world is on your shoulder
Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down
If you can't hang with the feelin'
Then there ain't no room for you this part of town
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)

You can shout out all you want to
'Cause there ain't no sin in folks all getting loud
If you take the chance and do it
Then there ain't no one who's gonna put you down
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
C'mon and groove, and let the madness in music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)

Do what you want to do
There ain't no rules it's up to you (ain't no rules it's all up to you)
It's time to come alive
And party on right through the night (all right)

Gotta hide your inhibitions
Gotta let that fool loose deep inside your soul
Want to see an exhibition (hee)
Better do it now before you get too old
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
C'mon and groove (yeah) let the madness in the music get you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain't so bad at all
Live your life off the wall

So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
C'mon and groove (yeah) and let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
 
Livin' off the wall, life ain't bad at all
(repeat with chorus)

 
Do-do-do-doo-do-doo-do-do-do-doo-doo
Do-do-do-doo-do-doo-do-do-do-doo-doo
Do-do-do-doo-do-doo-do-do-do-doo-doo
 
(saxaphone solo)
 
We're gonna have to tell him
You'll only be a girlfriend of mine

Girlfriend
You better tell your boyfriend (yeah)
Tell him (woo hoo)
Exactly what we're doin' (yeah)
Tell him what he needs to know
Or he may never let you go

Yeah, we're gonna have to tell him
You'll only be a girlfriend of mine
Do-do-do-doo-do-doo-do-do-do-doo-doo

~**She's Out Of My Life 

She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands

So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late

And she's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

~**I Can't Help It

Looking in my mirror
Took me by surprise
I can't help but see you
Running often through my mind

Helpless like a baby
Sensual disguise
I can't help but love you
It's getting better all the time

I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no

I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no

Doot-do-do-do-do

Love to run my fingers
Softly while you sigh
Love came and possessed you
Bringing sparkles to your eyes

Like a trip to heaven
Heaven is the prize
And I'm so glad I found you, yeah
You're an angel in disguise

I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
 
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
Doot-do-do-do-do
(repeat...)
 
And I'm so glad I found you
You're an angel in disguise
 
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no no
 
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no no no
 
Doot-do-do-do-do

~**It's The Falling In Love

It's the falling in love,
That's makin' me high
It's the bein' in love that makes me
Cry, cry
You've got me fallin' in love,
You've got me fallin' in love...(cryin')

You're not like anybody I ever knew
But that don't mean that I don't know where we are
And though I find myself attracted to you
This time I'm trying not to go too far, 'cause
No matter how it starts it ends the same
Someone's always doing someone more
Trading in the passion for that taste of pain
It's only gonna happen again...

It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry, cry, cry
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's why being in love that makes me cry, cry, cry,
All night...all night

And though I'm tryin' not to look in your eyes
Each time I do they kind of burn right through me
Don't want to lay down in a bed full of lies
And yet my heart is saying come and do me

Now we're just a web of mystery
A possibility of more to come
I'd rather leave the fantasy of what might be
But here I go fallin' again...

It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry, cry, cry
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Over you...over you...
You've got me fallin' in love
Got me faliin' in love
Bein' in love
Makes me cry, cry, cry

It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry, cry, cry
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry, cry, cry
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I'm fallin' in love, I'm fallin'
I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I'm fallin' in love, I'm fallin'
I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
 
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry, cry, cry
It's the fallin' in love that's makin' me high
It's the being in love that makes me cry, cry, cry

Yeah yeah yeah...
