Song Lyrics

Where are you?
You can relax now, the Max is in control, uh
Uh, go, ah, 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) Ayo baby, I want to shuffle the cards in that stack (I go)
(The max) We can dance if you want to but I might break yo' 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 overdues
When they start makin' 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 (oh yeah), tell me where the party's at?
(The max) Ayo baby, I want to shuffle the cards in that stack (oh, yeah yeah)
(The max) We can dance if you want to (oh yeah), but I might break yo' back
(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 (oh, get funky)
The max (get-get-get funky)
The max (get funky)

Let' go
I think I'm gonna like this
Let's go
I want to dance
Let's go
Let's go
(Oh, yeah yeah) Let's go

I go to the max
I'm not afraid (oh my God)
I want to 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) Ayo baby, I want to shuffle the cards in that stack
(The max) We can dance if you want to but I might break yo' 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 again and
Let's go

This is the max

Prince Rogers Nelson
