Maxwell - Bad Habits
I’ve always been a huge Maxwell fan but I think BLACKsummer’s Night has been his easiest album to fall in love with. I’m not saying that its better or more well put together or more mature then any of his previous efforts, but it is definitely easier to connect with.
Maxwell is pretty much one of the first neo-soul artists that came out but his earlier stuff was sometimes just a tad out of reach (at least for me). It was complex and wonderful to listen to but it was art as much as it was anything else. BLACKsummer’s Night…well…there’s just a visceral reaction to this album. He said he was inspired to create the album from his last romance and who can’t relate to everything that goes down in a relationship? Kudos to Mr. Maxwell for an AMAZING album. Go out and get it now if you don’t already have it.
Oh - and just one request.
Mr. Maxwell - If you ever read this…please make your concert tickets cheaper so I can actually afford to go see you one of these days. Because I would really love to see you preform. I think you’re awesome. And hot. And I aint mad at those glasses in the picture - I think they’re sexy ; )
Sincerely Yours,

Maxwell - Bad Habits
Lately, Lady
Make me queasy
Don’t speak no sound
I want you to prove it to me in the nude
Addicted to the way you move
Honey, if anything ever should change in you
Don’t worry I’m standing still
I’m moving with the right wheel
[Chorus]
This is the highest cost,
Take you and make you off
Live you and leave you lost
Will you forgive me?
Assed (Asked?) out all over town
Drags you and keeps you down
Two times in a day around
Will you forgive me?
I can’t control the feeling
Girl cause I know you’re here
I fill you from the floor to the ceiling
Girl, I’ll feel you when you comb your hair
Lady, when we lock it low (ah, ah)
We get together, it’s an overdose
I’m slippin’, I’m here, I’m on my knees
I feels my heart’s about to explode
Chorus:
This is the highest cost,
Take you and make you off
Live you and leave you lost
Will you forgive me?
Asked (Asked?) out all over town
Drags you and keeps you down
Two times and I take a round
Will you forgive me?
Baby, to tell the truth
When I’m sober I jonez for you
When its over I’m overdue (huh)
Girl, its no one as bad as (no one as bad as you)
You got me, you got me
You got me
Slippin around with it
Around with it, awhile
You got me sick with this love, baby
I’m so, I’m so in love
I can’t come down
]Chorus]
Asked (Asked?) out all over town (ah)
Drags you and keeps you down (and I know)
Two times and I take a round
Will you forgive me?
You’re my bad habit baby
You’re my, you’re taking
My soul, down to the level
Can’t escape the way you got me locked up baby
I gotta break from you, break from you
Break from you
[Chorus]
Asked (Asked?) out all over town (…assed (asked?) out)
Drags you and keeps you down
Two times and I take a round
Will you forgive me?
will you forgive me (3x)
will you forgive me (maaaaahhhh)
Assed (Asked?) out all over town
Drags you and keeps you down
Two times and I take a round
Will you forgive me?
I can’t control the feelin’ (feelin’, feelin’, feelin’, feelin’) (4x)
In my soul, soul
In my soul, soul
