Backed by a serious horn section, Maxwell sings about a woman who "means business" and makes his summer "frigid."

'Cold' Lyrics
I'm eating crow babe
I had to go and think that I could be more best
Left alone then with you next, it develops none the less
Hell hath no fury than the flurry of your snow
Global warming aint got nothing on this chic she's not to play with
You can't just leave this, you can't just think that you can quit this
She'll make you regret this, she's on top and she means business
As God as my witness, my summer's gone frigid, my summer's gone frigid
I know you can hear this
CHORUS:
How can you be so cold, how can you be so cold
Good God the girl's gone home: oh my the girl's gone cold
How can you be so cold, how can you be so cold
I'm on freeze fo' sho, oh lord, you're so cold
So cold, so cold
Tell me baby why I can't believe, yeah
Something as good as you could ever love me
Lighter than air you felt like a ton of bricks
You dropped out from the sky filled with mercy
How can you be so cold, how can you be so cold
Good God the girl's gone cold, oh my the girl's gone home
God bless you baby, oh you're too good to me
Too good to be anything the mortal man can call on
Do it baby, do it baby
How can you be so cold, how can you be so cold
Good God the girl's gone home, oh my the girl's gone cold
How can you be so cold, how can you be so cold
I'm on freeze fo' sho, oh lord, you're so cold
So cold, so cold
So cold, so cold
Oh lord it you're so cold
So cold, so cold

Ciaat 6-18-2009
He has been my all time favorite since he came out in the 90's.. I can't wait to hear the entire album.. Thank you Maxwell for coming back and giving us some great music to listen too!
Tony and Shontaat 6-18-2009
Maxwell is unrivalled in the way that he can put a song together: the voice, style, lyrics, and musical arrangements...breathtaking! He continues to bless us with his brilliance and innovativeness that is so lacking in today's music industry. Black Summer's Night promises to be yet another one his masterpieces, as every song that I've heard from Black Summer's Night thus far, is remarkable!!!

It took me a minute, but I really like this song as well. The sound on BSN is very different from Max's usual style, but I still love it!!

This has a Marvin Gay feel to it as well. I love the musical arrangement. at least his music is real from the lyrics,the music, and it makes you FEEL and think of the words and Feel the words.
