Off the Wall
Cyrille Aimee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Life ain't so bad at all
If you 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
There 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
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain′t so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Do what you want to do
There ain't no rules it′s up to you
It's time to come alive
And party on right through the night
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
