Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angel
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I drive on her streets 'cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills 'cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy
I never worry, now that is a lie.
Well, I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have her love, the city she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry
Well, I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
Well, I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way, yeah, yeah, yeah
oh no, no, no, yeah, yeah
love me, I say, yeah yeah

vocal Probably THE best known chili peppers song--with good reason! Melancholy tune, depressing lyrics, but a lovely song. Simply amazing. You gotta admit, the guys rock.
Hey guys (and girls) im TOTALY on your side . i just love RHCP and like meezu said that he listned to under the bridge for a whole day. well I listen to it all the time . And I mean it , ALL THE TIME . i mean regullary groups u like a song and listen to it all the time but after a while u get bored at it. but the lame thing whith Under The Bridge is that u dont get bored listening to it i must say RHCP is the best group ever . i started listen to them for a couple of years ago . i remembed the first song I heard was " Scar Tissue" and i thought it just owned so I looked up a tab to it and because i never played guitare it was really difficult but i tried and tried and at last i could the whole song. the point im saying is that RHCP started me to play guitar (i didnt even like playing guitar before). so now im sitting here whith my 13 year old brother and playing all the songs that the chillis done. sorry for my bad english im from SWEDEN. PEACE!

a great song to cry to. i listened to it every night for a year. i still listen to it almost every day. my favorite song for years. simple yet emotional. gets the point across to those who know a little bit about the chili peppers. i'm a rock geek, i can play it on guitar.
meaning? wild guess: drugs. possibly expressing how much it sucks to be doing drugs and not be able to stop? anthony *lead vocals* was almost kicked out of the band way back for skipping too many rehearsals *partying* after hillel *ex-guitarist* died, flea and anthony probably got the wind knocked out of them pretty bad, bad enough to stop doing drugs. forever. under the bridge is where anthony used to get the drugs.
