Welcome

I guess it never was
The way I thought it was
I say this only just because
You never came to love
I guess it wasn't so
Guess that's how the story goes
You didn't dig my flow
You didn't dig my flow

But you're still welcome
(You're welcome, babe, you're welcome to me)
Welcome
(Anytime you want, I'll always be free)
Anytime you want some
(You're welcome, babe, you're welcome to me)
Make yourself at home 'cause you're welcome
Welcome

Tonight will make one week
Tonight's the anniversary
And if you don't talk to me
Tomorrow will never be

But you're still welcome
(You're welcome babe, you're welcome to me)
Welcome
(Anytime you want, I'll always be free)
Anytime you want some
(You're welcome, babe, you're welcome to me)
Make yourself at home 'cause you're welcome
Welcome

Six in the morning, everything's nothing
Six in the eve, everything's still the same, hey
Wish you knew I just wish that you knew that
(I really love you) Deep like a mother loves a child
(I wanna love you) Like water, hot, runnin' wild
(Inside you) Inside you, momma, sophisticated style
Check my dictionary

I guess it never was
(You're welcome, babe, you're welcome to me)
The way I thought it was
(Anytime you want, I'll always be free)
I say this only just because
(You're welcome, babe, you're welcome, babe, you're welcome to me)
You never came to love
Welcome
Welcome

Let me grove with you so we can kick a little

All I wanna show is my affection
Lose myself inside her ebony
But she ain't even checkin' me so

Ascension Dont Ever Wonder

Oooooh...

It happened the moment, when you were revealed
'Cause you were a dream that you should not have been
A fantasy real
You gave me this beating baby
This rhythm inside
And you made me feel good and feel nice and feel loved
Give me paradise

So shouldn't I realize
You're the highest of the high
If you don't know, then I'll say it
So don't ever wonder

Shouldn't I realize
You're the highest of the high
If you don't know, then I'll say it
So don't ever wonder

So tell me how long
How long it's gonna take until you speak, babe
'Cause I can't live my life
Without you here by my side
Ooh...
You gave me the feelin', feelin' in my life

So shouldn't I realize
You're the highest of the high
If you don't know, then I'll say it
So don't ever wonder

Til the Cops Come Knockin

Didn't you dig the way I rubbed you back girl
Wasn't it cool when first I kissed your lips
Was it enough to penetrate your dark world
Or were you embarrassed about the way you freaked
Well I wanna hold you
I wanna know you baby
If it's alright

Gonna take you in the room suga'
Lock you up and love for days
We're gonna be rockin' baby
'Til the cops come knockin'
Papa gonna have to leave
A message on the telephone baby
There won't be no stoppin' me
'Til the cops come knockin'

Six on a Thursday night and you be jonesin' baby
For a brother to hold you tight and keep on goin'
Last lover came and went
Didn't even hug n' kiss you n' caress you
Gimme a call it's cool the M's all open
I'm open wider than oceans
I'll be your lotion
If it's alright

Gonna take you in the room suga'
Lock you up and love for days
We're gonna be rockin' baby
'Til the cops come knockin'
Gonna take you in the room suga'
Lock you up and love for days
We're gonna be rockin' baby
'Til the cops come knockin'
Papa gonna have to leave
A message on the telephone baby
There won't be no
'Til the cops come knockin'

Please you, tease you, eat you
Make you feel so good
(Make you feel so good inside)
Loving you long if that's alright?

Gonna take you in the room suga'
Lock you up and love for days
We're gonna be rockin' baby
'Til the cops come knockin'
Gonna take you in the room suga'
Lock you up and love for days
We're gonna be
'Til the cops come knockin'
Papa gonna have to leave
A message on the telephone baby
There won't be no
'Til the cops come knockin'

Gonna take you in the room suga'
Lock you up and love for days
We're gonna be
'Til the cops come knockin'

('Til the cops come knockin')

Whenever Wherever Whatever

Pray God you can cope
I stand outside
This woman's work
This woman's world
Oooh, it's hard on the man
Now his part is over
Now starts the craft of the father

I know you have a little life in you yet
I konw you have a lot of strength left
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left

I should be crying but I just can't let it show
I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking
All the things I should've said that I never said
All the things we should of done that we never did
All the things I should've given but I didn't

Oh darling make it go
Make it go away
Give me these moments back
Give them back to me
Give that little kiss
Give me your hand

I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a little strength left
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a little strength left

I should be crying but I just can't let it show
I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking
Of all the things we should've said that were never said
All the things we should've done that we never did
All the things that you needed from me
All the things that you wanted for me
All the things I should of given but I didn't
Oh darling make it go away
Just make it go away now

Suitelady (The Proposal Jam)

It's been so long since I have got you lady
Since I have had yo brown legs wrapped around me
The smell of she just drives me crazy
Imagine what the sight of her can do

Suitelady don't worry
Ain't no end to what this ring
Wants to begin with you
I've waited suitelady
Cause no man can tear asunder
What my can groove

I never thought myself the kinda guy
The kinda man that would ever want to settle down
Statistics say it's crazy, passion won't survive
But something says nawh deep down deep down inside

It's been so long since I have got you lady
Since I have had yo brown legs wrapped around me
The smell of she just drives me crazy
Imagine what the sight of her can do

Groove love can groove me and you ah
Suitelady

I don't mean to be dramatic baby
I only want to understand you baby
So will you marry me?

Back to: Maxwell


Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite is the debut album by American R&B singer-songwriter Maxwell. It was recorded in 1994 and 1995 and released on April 2, 1996, by Columbia Records.

Maxwell largely wrote and produced the album himself, recording in sessions at Electric Lady Studios, RPM, Sorcerer, and Chung King Studios in New York City, and CRC recording studios in Chicago. The resulting music features a mellow, groove-based sound with elements of funk, jazz, smooth soul, and quiet storm. A concept album, Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite was composed as a song cycle that focuses on an adult romance, based in part on Maxwell's personal experiences.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite was not an immediate commercial success, but it was helped by the release of its second single "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder)" in July 1996, and the album eventually became a million-seller. It was also a success with critics, who praised it as a departure from the mainstream, hip hop-oriented R&B of the time, while earning Maxwell several accolades and comparisons to soul singers of the past, particularly Marvin Gaye and Prince.

The success of Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite elevated Maxwell's reputation to that of a sex symbol and a notable performer in the music industry. He was credited with shaping the "neo soul" movement of musicians that rose to prominence during the late 1990s. Along with D'Angelo's Brown Sugar (1995) and Erykah Badu's Baduizm (1997), the album provided commercial exposure to neo soul and has since been cited by several critics as Maxwell's greatest work.
