So Much I Lyrics

[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
Next stop on the KLM
Two lips and a sturdy stem
A funny thing always happens when I get a heavy jam
I'm gonna turn it into hydrogen
I, I— I, I— I, I—
I, I, I, I, I—

[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis]
Cowgirl and a troubadour
MGM and the lion's roar
A straight shot to the corner store
I wanna show you what—
I wanna show you what your head is for
I, I— I, I— I, I—
I, I, I, I, I—

[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
So much, I wish I could—
So many, I wish I would—
So much, I wish I could count on you not to deplete me
So much, I wish I could—
So many, I wish I would—
So much, I wish I could count on you not to defeat me

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis & John Frusciante]
Please, don't turn away again
Please, don't turn me into them
Please, don't turn away a friend
Please, don't turn me into them
[Verse 3: Anthony Kiedis]
Stand by for the great eclipse
Rip it out, now shake your hips
Backing off the apocalypse
I gotta loosen up—
I gotta loosen up to get my grip
I, I— I, I— I, I—
I, I, I, I, I—

[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]
So much, I wish I could—
So many, I wish I would—
So much, I wish I could count on you not to complete me
So much, I wish I could—
So many, I wish I would—
So much, I wish I could count on you not to defeat me

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]
Please, don't turn away again
Please, don't turn me into them
Please, don't turn away a friend
Please, don't turn me into them

(What you wanna do about it?)
Please, don't turn away again
Please, don't turn me into them

(What you're going to give it now?)
(Oh, now)
[Guitar Solo: John Frusciante]

[Outro: Anthony Kiedis]
Whoooooooa!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
