Tell Me Baby Songtext
von Red Hot Chili Peppers

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 these lights are blue

Come and get it, lost it at the city limit
Say goodbye ′cause they will find a way to trim it
Everybody looking for a silly gimmick
Gotta get away, can't take it for another minute

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


Tell me baby, what′s your story
Where you come from
And where you want to go this time, aw
Oh, tell me lover
Are you lonely?
The thing we need is never all that hard to find, aw

Tell me baby, what′s your story
Where do you come from
And where you want to go this time, aw
Oh, you're so lovely
Are you lonely?
Or giving up on the innocence you left behind

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

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
Lookin′ for a hundred but you only ever found a fitty


Three fingers in the honeycomb
You ring just like a xylophone
Devoted to the chromosome
The day that you left home

Tell me baby, what's your story
Where you come from
And where you want to go this time, aw
Oh, tell me lover
Are you lonely?
The thing we need is never all that hard to find, aw

Tell me baby, what′s your story
Where do you come from
And where you want to go this time, aw
Oh, you're so lovely
Are you lonely?
Or giving up on the innocence you left behind

Tell me baby, what's your story
Where you come from
And where you want to go this time, aw
Oh, tell me lover
Are you lonely?
The thing we need is never all that hard to find, aw

Tell me baby, what′s your story
Where do you come from
And where you want to go this time, aw
Oh, you′re so lovely
Are you lonely?
Or giving up on the innocence you left behind
