美國非裔歌姬［茱蒂華特利］──靈魂／R&B曲──魅惑性感的［Off the Hook／脫身］

One for the treble,

Two for the bass,

Come on Rakim, lets rock this place

Heres the deal mama, me and you in the bahama

Begin the saga, I massage your persona

I got to have it, until its automatic

Become a fanatic, until your aura is organic

Its more than my mystic when we come from here

Put my cheek on your cheek, and my tongue in your ear

Set the tone one touch is all it took

When I get busy disconnect the phone off the hook

Unlike my past relations,

You were into more than friendly dating,

Didnt have no time for games,

Just state your claims

And I feel just the same way about you,

Started out with just one touch,

But I never knew Id get good of it kissing, hugging you love to hear,

Off the hook is unexplainable,

Your love is off the hook,

Its so unattainable,

Between us this fire, desire inside your love is off the hook

Oh it really turns me on,

How my man so sensitive and warm,

Knows what I want to me,

But give it to me and Ill do just the same for my man,

Started out with just one touch,

But I never knew Id get good of it kissing, hugging you love to hear,

Jody Watley and [Rakim]

Never been so happy, (whats up, say word)

For your love is off the hook, (yeah, yeah, Rakim Allah baby)

Oh, crazy insane I lose my cool, (uh, go ahead Jody)

Your loving, kissing, hugging, your love is ( what, word, uh, )

Check it out, my love it ambitious, and not to grant you wishes

Hold your hands, give you hugs, and romance and kisses

Each glance is delicious, any stance is precious

Even sweat pants and slippers, while you doing the dishes

?? its shook, when you show off and cook

Were forced to look, yo baby you off the hook

Checking your measurements, its precious and delicate

Highly intelligent, its elegant elements

Weve been friends for awhile now, Im on the prowl

I know your style now, So Ima make a bow

I put my charm on her, The Don Warner

I put the magic wand on her, and drop the bomb on her

Tender touches, now I lust for lady lucious

Show her what crazy love is, until the blood rushes

Step to my P.I., see why, cause she fly

J-O-D-why, W-A-T-L-E-why

Word up, Its off the hook baby,

Rakim Allah and Jody Watley,

On the remix side my man D-Dot baby, lacing it up for 98,

Battle tune coming through your living room soon,

My man Bill Blass

１９９７年１２月　美國非裔性感女歌手茱蒂華特利（Jody Watley）與華納體系的Atlantic唱片簽約

１９９８年３月, ３９歲的茱蒂發行第六張大碟〔Flower／如花似玉〕　

製作群包括Derrick Edmondson, Phil Galdston, Masters at Work, Malik Pendleton, DWayne Wiggins, Bryce Wilson, Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie

華特利擔任執行製造,  Phil Galdston編曲

樂評大致正面　被視為其東山再起大碟

２月發行的首支主打［Off the Hook／脫身］由Charles Pendleton, Cassandra Lucas, Darryl Floyd, D Reed譜寫,

Malik Pendleton製作成一首靈魂／R&B曲, 在中慢板的節奏間, 華特利的演繹魅惑性感

唱片公司並製作Dot Remix──由曾跟茱蒂合作１９８９年入門曲［Friends］的饒舌歌手Rakim客串──以便在電台宣傳

連 MV都分兩個版本

［Off the Hook］登上Billboard單曲榜＃７３, 為茱蒂四年半以來首支入榜的個人單曲（１９９６末客串Babyface單曲［This Is for the Lover in You］,曾拿到單曲榜＃６）

副榜－R&B榜＃２３　舞曲榜則讓她五度封后

英國＃５１　紐西蘭＃４４　澳大利亞＃２０４

這是最後一首華特利最後一首打入Billboard單曲榜的主打

〔Flower／花〕雖樂評良好, 也無打入專輯榜, 讓茱蒂東山再起夢碎

日後她就只局限在舞曲界發展了
