Lyrics of
Dont Forget Me

The story behind the creation of this song is not clearly documented, but like many Red Hot Chili Peppers songs, it likely explores themes of love, loss, and personal experiences of the band members.

I'm an ocean in your bedroom
Make you feel warm, make you wanna re-assume
Now we know it all for sure.
I'm a dancehall, dirty breakbeat
make the snow fall up from underneath your feet.
Not alone, I'll be there, tell me when you wanna go!

I'm a meth lab, first rehab
Take it all off and step inside the running cab
There's a love that knows the way
I'm the rainbow in your jail cell
All the memories of everything you've ever smelled.
Not alone, I'll be there, tell me when you wanna go!

Sideways falling, more will be revealed my friend
Don't forget me, I can't hide it
Come again get me excited

I'm an inbred and a pothead
Two legs that you spread inside a tool shed
Now we know it all for sure.
I could show you to the free field
Overcome and more will always be revealed
Not alone, I'll be there, tell me when you wanna go!

Sideways falling, more will be revealed my friend
Don't forget me, I can't hide it
Come again get me excited
Sideways falling, more will be revealed my friend
Don't forget me, I can't hide it
there's a match now let me let me light it


I'm the bloodstain on your shirtsleeve
Coming down and more are coming to believe.
Now we know it all for sure.
Make the hair stand up on your arm
Teach you how to dance inside the funny farm
Not alone, I'll be there, tell me when you wanna go.

I'll be there, tell me when you wanna go
come on then and tell me when you want to go
more will be revealed my friend
