Off My Axis


Being in love
has my whole world spinning
Emotions out of control
Spinning ...
I got plenty of money,
but nowhere to go
Love has me hemmed up,
I'm your boy-toy genie in a bottle
Spinning faster ...
tilted and wobbling
Resistance wilted, heart throbbing
I'm off my axis,
forgot to pay my love taxes
I'm off my axis,
I love you being all up in my business
Spinning my world
like a little green spinning top
The way you're turning my life around,
I hope it don't ever stop
I love the things you be asking of me,
require of me
The number one thing: love is a necessity
You're spinning my world faster ...
I'm so off my axis
Just do me one favor, baby,
remind me to always pay my love taxes

Reminiscent of some old blues lyrics. You better pay your taxes Freddie, good work...
