[Intro]
(The, the, the, the, the, the)

[Verse 1]
The flower's pink on the tree
But if you pick it to see
Will it be wild and free?
You say you wanted a piece
Is it for sale or for lease?
Oh, that's the easy police
(Come on down)
Outside the world within ya
Bend to the Woolf Virginia
Take to the bridge that's under
Hunt for the sun to wonder
What you wanna do today?
I'm your favorite kid, let's play
Dedicated to the ones we serve
She's so full of learning curves
I, oh, I

[Pre-Chorus]
Shе's a lover
She's a lover
Shе's a lover
She's a lover

[Chorus]
Love me, love me
Wake up and hug me
I will be a torrid beast
Well, if you need me, need me
Wake up and squeeze me
Nothin' but a sweet relief
I, oh, I

[Verse 2]
And when I'm fallin' asleep
Please give me somethin' to keep
Me warm and kind of complete
Long time to go without ya
Try slow to know about ya
For now is my better
Less time in forever
Please, love, can I have a taste?
I just wanna lick your face
Any other day and I would say
You're Atlantis manta ray

[Pre-Chorus]
She's a lover
She's a lover
She's a lover
She's a lover
She's a lover, unlimited love again
Gotta love her, unlimited love again
She's a lover, unlimited love again
Little lover, unlimited love again

[Chorus]
Love me, love me
Wake up and hug me
I will be a torrid beast
Well, if you need me, need me
Wake up and squeeze me
Nothin' but a sweet relief

[Bridge]
(Look at you)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Love me, love me
Wake up and hug me
I will be a torrid beast
Well, if you need me, need me
Wake up and squeeze me
Nothin' but a sweet relief

[Outro]
Nothin' but a sweet relief
I will be a torrid beast
I will be a torrid beast
I will be a torrid beast

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are a rock band based in Los Angeles, CA that incorporates elements of rap, funk, punk, and rock into their work, mainly classified as an alternative rock band. They made it mainstream off the success of their 1991’s fifth studio album Blood Sugar Sex Magik, led by singles “Give it Away” and “Under the Bridge.” After losing guitarist John Frusciante and losing popularity following the release of the less successful One Hot Minute, the band reunited for 1999’s Californication. The title track and hit singles “Around the World,” “Scar Tissue” and “Otherside” propelled them back to the fame. After 2002’s solid release By the Way and 2006’s double-disc Stadium Arcadium, Frusciante once again left the band to further pursue his solo career. The band added Josh Klinghoffer to help fill his void, and released I’m With You in 2011.

In December 2019, the band announced via Instagram that Klinghoffer had left after 10 years, and Frusciante would be rejoining.

Their lyrical content was mostly centered around sex, drugs, and the Los Angeles lifestyle, and lead singer Anthony Kiedis mostly rapped them as he wasn’t confident as vocalist. Most members of the band also suffered from drug addiction, as Kiedis and Frusciante had to check themselves into rehab for heroin addiction at various points in their lives. But Californication marked a change in the band’s content matter and lifestyle. The band was sober for the most part, and the lyrics had shifted to songs about love and the pains of addiction, the title even criticized the city they loved so much. In addition, Kiedis had started to sing his lyrics much more often as he finally felt comfortable with his voice. That change has allowed the band to stick around for over 20 years despite multiple changes to their lineup and is part of why they remain relevant.
