Maxwell - Bad Habits Lyrics

Artist: Maxwell

Album: Black

  • Songwriters: Hod David, Maxwell Gerald Menard

Make me crazy, 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'll move in with the right of will

This is the highest cost, take you and make you off
Love you and leave you lost, will you forgive me?
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 feel you from the floor to the ceiling
Girl, I feel you when you comb your hair

Lady when we lock it low we get together, it's an overdose
I'm slipping, I'm here, I'm on my knees
I feel my heart's about to explode

This is the highest cost, take you and make you off
Love you and leave you lost, will you forgive me?
Asked out all over town, drags you and keeps you down
Two times in a day around, will you forgive me?

Baby to tell the truth when I'm sober I jones for you
When it's over I'm overdue
Girl there's no one as bad, no one as bad as you

You got me, you got me
You got me slippin' around with it, around with it, oh why?
You got me sick with this love baby
I'm so, I'm so in love, I can't come down

This is the highest cost, take you and make you off
Love you and leave you lost, will you forgive me?
Asked out all over town, drags you and keeps you down
Two times in a day around, will you forgive me?

You're my bad habit baby, you're my
You're takin' my soul down to the letter O
Can't escape the way you got me locked out baby
I gotta break from you, break from you, break from you

This is the highest cost, take you and make you off
Love you and leave you lost, will you forgive me?
Asked out all over town, drags you and keeps you down
Two times in a day around, will you forgive me?

Will you forgive me? Will you forgive me?
Will you forgive me? Will you forgive me?
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, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling
I can't control the feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling
I can't control the feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling
I can't control the feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling

You're my soul, soul
You're my soul, soul

What does this song mean to you?

  • Yocana Marques

    gosto das musicas dele, i like his songs

  • Oliver Ford

    None of his lyrics make any sense. It's his vocal tone that makes his songs!

  • G'Na Lee

    I understand all the talk about the artist worshipping the Devil. Its ultimately up to you if you allow the worldly events taking place to come into your mind body and soul. At the end of the day the songwriters the peformers are artist with a gift take what u need and leave what is not for you. I personally believe the lyrics are based on a very sexual addiction that two people are guilty of fulfilling as often as they crave for satisfaction..not anyone can take u there! Seems like there's alot of love for one another but there's something stopping them from commiting to one another...maybe deceiving another person in this love triangle.

  • Ebony Nichols

    I do not understand these lyrics what so ever.... But I like the song :)

  • Willson George

    I love maxwell! BAD HABIT SONG! I think it's the best song so far.

    It's only a video people. Those men that you believe were blown away by your powerful P#@$y were/are actually playing you! Stop being convenient and making it easy and see if they really want to make time for you. Way to go Maxwell, keep the illusion going for them.

    I just saw the video and all I can say is...damn. I also lived these lyrics. Had the best passion and connection with someone I couldn&#039t have...and he couldn&#039t have me. Makes me sad, because for the rest of my life I will have live with being someone&#039s bad habit and he mine. Makes me wonder if it was all worth it...and the end of the video it seems like Maxwell and that woman had the mutual respect (kind of like, it happened...it was between us, we must both move on). Well, I intended for it to end the same way, but...I guess I drove him crazy. Now there is mad hate between us, and we think the worst of each other...what was so special became a mistake. I&#039d like to think he still thinks of me from time to time and regrets how he handled things, as do I. If not between us but how we handled the "aftershock." But...guess it is too late for all that now. So people, it may not be worth it. Break the bad habit before you regret sets in...and that regret is a ^@%#$. lol. It was such an awesome feeling, but I fear I can never recreate this in my life now. Probably my punishment. :(

    This song is like many others. HAS ANYONE REALLY READ THE LYRICS, (yea other songs to please research all song, every song has a meaning). What Maxwell is reffering to is the DEVIL (he sold his sold)

    Cee:
    You're my bad habit baby
    You're mine, you're taking
    My soul down to level
    Can escape the way you got me locked down baby
    I gotta break from you, Break from you
    Break from you.

    He's saying he can get away from the devil beacuse he sold his soul/ Why do you think he keeps asking for forgiveness? But on the other hand he said he "I cant control the feel"/ but he like it, & he knows it wrong. See do a little research. Will you continue to support artists that worships the Devil? I won't. Here's a few more Artist: Lil Wayne (She on Fire), Jay-Z (Lucifer/ohters), Rihanna(umbrella/others), Eminem (plenty of songs), Diddy (Angels Calling), Kid Cutty(Persuit of Happiness) ,Chris Brown(Fallen Angel) Babe (no songs but all his tatoos show it. (WHY YOU THINK MANNIE FRESH LEFT)there are plenty of artist too. Start paying close attention to these artist video's they have signs in them. If you think these Artist tatoos are just normal tats nope they all have the mark of the breast either on their RIGHT hand or forehead aww.. Lil Wayne... Its about to be a New World Order open your eyes.
    Peace

    the music harks back to the sweet sounds of earth wind and fire. but the lyrics make me sad

    I read all the above post and no one has come to the realization that he is talking about cocaine. And, like me it's probably because you have never experienced drugs, but if you let someone who has break it down for you it's deep. And, it actually made more sense to me because the lyrics were too, too extreme for a relationship. Don't get me wrong, I've been in and am in ga-ga love, but this song was different. Just think about it.......you may or may not agree, but think about it......

    This brother knows about the power of the P---y. It can control you and leave you helpless because you have got to have it and the more you get it the more you want it. maxwell knows how to combine the music and words together to form a masterpiece.

    Wow. This song was ripped out of my thoughts! I think that everyone has that someone that they will always feel this way about, even if you get married, that person will always be at the edge of your mind.
