Red Hot Chili Peppers — Tell Me Baby

[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis] They come from every state to find Some dreams were meant to be declined Tell the man, what did you have in mind? “What have you come to do?” No turning water into wine No learning while you're in the line I'll take you to the broken sign You see, the lights are blue [Bridge: Anthony Kiedis] Come and get it, lost it at the city limit Say goodbye, 'cause they will find a way to trim it Everybody lookin' for a silly gimmick Gotta get away, can't take it for another minute [Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis] This town is made of many things Just look at what the current brings So high, it's only promising This place was made on you [Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante] Tell me, baby, what's your story? Where you come from and where you wanna go this time? Oh Tell me, lover, are you lonely? The thing we need is never all that hard to find, oh Tell me, baby, what's your story? Where do you come from and where you wanna go this time? Oh You're so lovely, are you lonely? Oh, giving up on the innocence you left behind [Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis] Some claim to have the fortitude Too shrewd to blow the interlude Sustaining pain to set a mood Step out to be renewed I'll move you like a baritone Jungle Brothers on the microphone Getting over with an undertone It's time to turn to stone [Bridge: Anthony Kiedis] Chitty-chitty, baby, when your nose is in the nitty-gritty Life could be a little sweet, but life could be a little shitty What a pity, Boston and a Kansas City Looking for a hundred, but you only ever found a fifty [Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis] Three fingers in the honeycomb You ring just like a xylophone Devoted to the chromosome The day that you left home [Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante] Tell me, baby, what's your story? Where you come from and where you wanna go this time? Oh Tell me, lover, are you lonely? The thing we need is never all that hard to find, oh Tell me, baby, what's your story? Where you come from and where you wanna go this time? Oh You're so lovely, are you lonely? Oh, giving up on the innocence you left behind (Behind!) [Guitar Solo: John Frusciante] [Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante] Tell me, baby, what's your story? Where you come from and where you wanna go this time? Oh Tell me, lover, are you lonely? The thing we need is never all that hard to find, oh Tell me, baby, what's your story? Where you come from and where you wanna go this time? Oh You're so lovely, are you lonely? Oh, giving up on the innocence you left behind
