      What gets me was good he was when he was 10 years old. You go back to and listen to his early stuff like "Who's Lovin' You", "Got To Be There", "I wanna be where you are", and "Maybe Tomorrow". It still is rare to find someone that young and that soulful in their tone and delivery of vocals.

    [Verse 1]
    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 in this part of town
    [Pre-Chorus]
    'Cause we're the party people night and day
    Livin' crazy, that's the only way
    [Chorus]
    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)
    [Verse 2]
    You can shout out all you want to
    'Cause there ain't no sin in folks all gettin' loud
    If you take the chance and do it
    Then there ain't no one who's gonna put you down
    [Pre-Chorus]
    'Cause we're the party people night and day
    Livin' crazy, that's the only way
    [Chorus]
    So tonight, gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
    And just enjoy yourself (Come on, and)
    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)
    [Bridge]
    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)
    [Verse 3]
    Gotta hide your inhibitions
    Gotta let that fool loose deep inside your soul
    Wanna see an exhibition (A-hee!)
    Better do it now before you get too old
    [Pre-Chorus]
    'Cause we're the party people night and day
    Livin' crazy, that's the only way
    [Chorus]
    So tonight, gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
    And just enjoy yourself (Come on, and)
    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
    So tonight, gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
    And just enjoy yourself (Come on, and)
    Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
    Life ain't so bad at all
    If you live it off the wall
    Tonight, gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf (Yeah)
    And just enjoy yourself (Come on, and)
    Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
    Life ain't so bad at all (Wanna live)
    Tonight, gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf (Nine to five)
    And just enjoy yourself (Come on, and)
