Song lyrics
I am a man
Cut from the know
Rarely do friends
Come and then go
She was a girl
Soft but estranged
We were the two
Our lives rearranged
Feeling so good that day
A feeling of love that day

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

Raised by my dad
Girl of the day
He was my man
That was the way
She was the girl
Left alone
Feeling the need
To make me her home
I don't know what when or why
The twilight of love had arrived

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

I agree this song is one of my all time favorites of RHCP, the guitar part throughout the whole song is awesome

I think it's about rape. I mean the title suggests it.

Hmmm....off the subject of rape, this song is great! It's got one of those descending/ascending melodies that I take a shine to

its not about rape, its to do with his girlfriend at the time Claire Essex. she had a bad childhood and laid all her problems on Anthony. and in the end he couldnt deal with it anymore and had to break up with her. leacing her heartbroken. read his autobiography Scar Tissue...and youll find song meaning to alot of rhcp songs like this one and Under the Bridge and I Could have Lied etc. tis a great book.

One reason I love the Chilis is because of how different they can make two songs. really! this has kind of the sound of a classic rock-jazz flute type of thing, but they make songs as different as pea?!

amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing and amazing.

I agree with frusciante about the reading of Scar Tissue. After seeing RHCP live in April me and all my friends have been passing around 2 copies of the book trying to let everyone have a read of it. It's really interesting and a MUST HAVE for all RHCP fans. But back on track, this is a great song, and oddly enough a party favourite with my group of friends, kinda a tradition I guess.
