Lyrics
OFF THE WALL
WAYLAND HOLYFIELD
MONTE THOMAS
Verse:
MANY TIMES I'VE BEEN TOLD
WHEN THEY MADE ME THEY BROKE THE MOLD
I DANCETOTHE BEAT OF A DIFFERENT DRUM
I DON'T WANT TO BE WHAT I'M NOT
SO I JUST GO WITH WHAT I'VE GOT
BENDING THE RULES IS MY RULE OF THUMB
Chorus:
I'M A LITTLE BIT OFF THE WALL
YOU GOTTA TAKE ME WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
'CAUSE AFTER ALL I'M A TINY BIT CRAZY
A LOTTA WOMEN WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND
THEY WANT TO PLAY A SAFE HAND
IF YOU DON'T THEN I'M YOUR MAN, BABY
Verse:
SO IF YOU'RE LOOKIN' FOR AN AVERAGE JOE
NEED ALL YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW
THEN YOU'RE NOT AT ALL WHERE YOU NEED TO BE
BUT IF A LEFT FIELD POINT OF VIEW
SOMEHOW APPEALS TO YOU
THEN ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS HANG WITH ME
REPEAT CHORUS
