"The Max" lyrics
Prince And The New Power Generation Lyrics
Where are you?
You can relax now, the max is in control
Go
Oh, yeah, yeah
When my back is so far back, it's on the other side of the wall
When half a chance is all I get if I get a chance at all
When the going gets tougher than the tough, can go I grind the axe
That's when I go, I go, I go to the max
I go the max
Yo, baby, tell me where the party's at
The max
Yo, baby, I wanna shuffle the cards in that stack
I go the max
We can dance if you want to, but I might break your back
The max
More funk for your buck, you can bet on that
When they tell me to walk a straight line
I put on crooked shoes
When they tell me that I can't live forever
I pay some over-dues
(Kick it)
When they start making up a crazy rule
That's when I break a back
'Cause when I go, I go, I go to the max
I go the max
Yo, baby, tell me where the party's at
The max
Yo, baby, I wanna shuffle the cards in that stack
(Oh, yeah, yeah)
The max
We can dance if you want to, but I might break your back
(To the max)
The max
More funk for your buck, you can bet on that
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Oh, yeah, yeah!
(Dig it)
When my body starts to shiver from the chill of the scarlet sweat
When my lips eclipse the sun and the moon reflecting from the wet
When the blood of my love outraces every one of the stallions in your pack
That's when you go, you go, you go to the max
You go the max
(To the max)
The max
(Ooh, get funky)
The max
(Get-get-get funky)
(To the max)
The max
(Get funky)
(Let's go)
I think I'm gonna like this
(Let's go)
(Dance)
I wanna dance
(Let's go)
(Let's go)
(Let's go)
(Oh, yeah, yeah!)
I go to the max
I'm not afraid
(Oh my God)
I wanna dance
Then listen:
When the going gets tougher than the tough can go
I grind the axe
That's when I go, I go, I go to the max
I go the max
Yo baby, tell me where the party's at
The max
Yo baby, I wanna shuffle the cards in that stack
I go the max
We can dance if you want to, but I might break your back
The max
More funk for your buck, you can bet on that
This is the max
Dear love, dear love, dear love
Forgive me for my sins
But you left me in such a cold cold world to suffer in
(Kick it)
And contrary to popular belief
Even though one's life is brief
If you go there once, you
Come again and again and
(Let's go)
(I'm so sorry for you)
This is the max
You can relax now, the max is in control
Go
Oh, yeah, yeah
When my back is so far back, it's on the other side of the wall
When half a chance is all I get if I get a chance at all
When the going gets tougher than the tough, can go I grind the axe
That's when I go, I go, I go to the max
I go the max
Yo, baby, tell me where the party's at
The max
Yo, baby, I wanna shuffle the cards in that stack
I go the max
We can dance if you want to, but I might break your back
The max
More funk for your buck, you can bet on that
When they tell me to walk a straight line
I put on crooked shoes
When they tell me that I can't live forever
I pay some over-dues
(Kick it)
When they start making up a crazy rule
That's when I break a back
'Cause when I go, I go, I go to the max
I go the max
Yo, baby, tell me where the party's at
The max
Yo, baby, I wanna shuffle the cards in that stack
(Oh, yeah, yeah)
The max
We can dance if you want to, but I might break your back
(To the max)
The max
More funk for your buck, you can bet on that
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Oh, yeah, yeah!
(Dig it)
When my body starts to shiver from the chill of the scarlet sweat
When my lips eclipse the sun and the moon reflecting from the wet
When the blood of my love outraces every one of the stallions in your pack
That's when you go, you go, you go to the max
You go the max
(To the max)
The max
(Ooh, get funky)
The max
(Get-get-get funky)
(To the max)
The max
(Get funky)
(Let's go)
I think I'm gonna like this
(Let's go)
(Dance)
I wanna dance
(Let's go)
(Let's go)
(Let's go)
(Oh, yeah, yeah!)

(Oh my God)

Come again and again and

This is the max
