Cover art for Meet Me At The Corner lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Here's the fixed lyrics:

Please don't ask me who- Oh, who you think I am I could live without that I'm just a modest man

Meet me at the corner, and oh Tell me what to do 'cause I messed up on you And had I known, oh, that I do now... I'm guessing we're through now Receding into the forest, I will lay around and wait And I'll wait for you

Please don't ask me where- Oh, where you think I've been I've been a lot of places But this could be my whim

Meet me at the corner, would I Tell me what to do 'Cause I messed up on you And had I known, oh, that I do now I'm guessing we're through now Receding into the forest, I will lay around and wait And I'll wait for you

I feel so bad, I thought you oughta know And I feel so bad, I thought you oughta know Something I wanna show I thought you oughta know

Please don't say you want To keep in touch out there To see you on the corner Aw, that I just can't bear

Well, meet me at the corner and you'll Tell me what to do 'Cause I messed up on you And had I known, oh, that I do now I'm guessing we're through now Receding into the forest, I will lay around and wait

Hey, and I turned I turned my head when I thought I saw a sign from the gods A sign from the gods That you weren't meant to be mine And it's fine Taking it all for a ride Till the day when it's gone I mystified my way and it all went wrong When it's gone, I live and I love, and I lose and I win But it's better than ever, whenever I'm in Thank you, girl, for everywhere that I've been

And had I known, oh, that I do now...

Actually...

And had I known all that I do now...

This song is amazing, especially Klinghoffer's little bit. It's clearly about going through a breakup and having a hard time getting over it. Been there. The last verse explains how he's fine with it and he is thanking her for the experience. Good song and great message for those who love too much.

Thanks. And I'm on the same boat. It's tough having to part with someone who was a huge part of your life. I can't imagine how many times Anthony has had to deal with that...

Mostly right, but there's some minor differences in the lyric booklet.

"'Cause I'm messed up on you And had I known All that I do now"

"I've been a lot of places But this could be my win"

"I feel so bad I thought you'd wanna know"

"Mystified by where It all went wrong"

"I live and I learn And I lose and I win"

"I thank you girl For everywhere that we've been"
