• Come my lady
  Come-come my lady
  You're my butterfly, sugar baby
  Come my lady
  Come-come my lady
  You're my butterfly, sugar baby
  
  Such a sexy, sexy pretty little thing
  Fierce nipple pierce, you got me sprung with your tongue ring
  And I ain't gonna lie 'cause your loving gets me high
  So to keep you by my side, there's nothing that I won't try
  Butterflies in her eyes and the looks to kill
  Time is passing, I'm asking could this be real?
  'Cause I can't sleep, I can't hold still
  The only thing I really know is she got sex appeal
  I can feel, too much is never enough
  You're always there to lift me up
  When these times get rough, I was lost, now I'm found
  Ever since you've been around
  You're the women that I want
  So yo, I'm putting it down
  
  Come my lady, come-come my lady
  You're my butterfly, sugar baby
  Come my lady, you're my pretty baby
  I'll make your legs shake
  You make me go crazy
  Come my lady, come-come my lady
  You're my butterfly, sugar baby
  Come my lady, you're my pretty baby
  I'll make your legs shake
  You make me go crazy
  
  I don't deserve you, unless it's some kind of hidden message
  To show me life is precious
  Then I guess it's true
  But to tell truth, I really never knew
  'Til I met you, see, I was lost and confused
  Twisted and used up
  Knew a better life existed but thought that I missed it
  My lifestyle's wild, I was living like a wild child
  Trapped on a short leash, paroled in police files
  So yo, what's happening now?
  I see the sun breaking down into dark clouds
  And a vision of you standing out in a crowd, so
  
  Come my lady, come-come my lady
  You're my butterfly, sugar baby
  Come my lady, you're my pretty baby
  I'll make your legs shake
  You make me go crazy
  Come my lady, come-come my lady
  You're my butterfly, sugar baby
  Come my lady, you're my pretty baby
  I'll make your legs shake
  You make me go crazy
  
  Hey sugar mama, come and dance with me
  The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me
  Whatever tickles your fancy
  Girl, it's me and you like Sid and Nancy
  So sexy, almost evil, talkin' 'bout butterflies in my head
  I used to think that happy endings were only in the books I read but
  You made me feel alive when I was almost dead
  You filled that empty space with the love I used to chase
  And as far as I can see, it don't get better than this
  So butterfly, here is a song and it's sealed with a kiss
  And a thank you miss
  
  Come and dance with me
  Come and dance with me
  Come and dance with me
  So come and dance with me
  Uh-huh, uh-huh
  
  Come my lady, come-come my lady
  You're my butterfly, sugar baby
  Come my lady, you're my pretty baby
  I'll make your legs shake
  You make me go crazy
  Come my lady, come-come my lady
  You're my butterfly, sugar baby
  Come my lady, you're my pretty baby
  I'll make your legs shake
  You make me go crazy
  Come my lady, come-come my lady
  You're my butterfly, sugar baby
  Come my lady, you're my pretty baby
  I'll make your legs shake
  You make me go crazy
  Come my lady, come-come my lady
  You're my butterfly, sugar baby
  Come my lady, you're my pretty baby
  I'll make your legs shake
  You make me go crazy
  
  Come and dance with me (yeah)
  Come and dance with me
  Come and dance with me (yeah)
  Come and dance with me
  Uh-huh, uh-huh
  Come and dance with me (yeah)
  Come and dance with me
  Come and dance with me (yeah)
  Come and dance with me
  Come and dance with me
  Come and dance with me
  Come and dance with me Writer/s: Anthony Kiedis, Brett Mazur, Chad Smith, John Frusciante, Michael 'Flea' Balzary, Seth Binzer

• Karalyn from A Star From Above, BrazilShifty, I also lived the tough 3 years of your breakup. The Butterfly you sing and write about is finally here. I am sorry it took me so long getting to you. You will know me better in our next encounter.
  
  knowing you appreciate the view I shared of our breakage, I would like to give you a world not lived, seen; felt; heard or existed in, yet by you.
  
  Appearing different but yet the same, you will know its me. Be patient until our paths take form and join as a one.
• G from Potomac, Mdthe lead singer was on that lame Dr. Drew show, what a loser. VH-1 engineered it so that when they went to a big dance club this was playing over the PA and it was so obvious.
• Mike from Hueytown , AlYeah this song didn't really hit big until like 2001. Cool song though
• Alexandra from Belgrade, EuropeI like this song,the video is top
• Shelly from Loserville, Nceven though pretty little ditty is like 2 minutes and has no words,it is just perfect ,suits this song...they did good im glad that they didnt sample from anything gay.claires right that list is made by potheads jk
• Jess from Schofield, Withe allegory of 'sid and nancy' IS about sid vicious (bassist for sex pistols) and his girlfriend nancy spungen (aka nauseating nancy). she wasnt chopped up in lil pieces tho-she was found in their hotel room-room 100-with a knife in her stomach. he was arrested for it and admitted it and later attempted many times to take his own life. he eventually did die of a heroin overdose-prbly suicide. many believe they planned on killing themselves or dying together or something based on things he'd say. (lil bit of trivia for ya...and maybe some more context to that part of the song-or the song in general)
• Sum Sum from New Delhi, Indiathe song is definitely a foot tapping one. this song is also in aol's hold on call.
• Maria from Seminole, FlIm not possitive but i believe that they got kicked out of ozzfest...sharon osbourne never has anything possitive to say about this band....
• Max from New York, NyYa, but Toxic was out much longer than 1 1/2 years. I remember seeing it like in 98. When did Butterfly come out?
• Saralysette from Ashland, Orall right the lyrics girl you and me were like sid and nancy. that isn't a good thing! do you know what happend to Sid and Nancy? nancy was chopped up in little bitty peices!!! possibly by sid when he was on acid.....
• Heather from Bristol, VaI like this song b/c its about how a girl makes a guys life better but yet she still has naughty qualities about her.

• Claire from Oak Ridge, TnI can never be sure about whether or not this song deserved to be on "50 Most Awesomly Bad Songs Ever."
• Elisabeth from N/a, InGirl, it's you like Sid and Nancy is a refrence to teh sex pistols Sid Vicious and his g/f Nancy
  
• Caitlin from Sailsbury, Nci love this song they play it like every five minutes on the movie orange county
• Kurt from Downers Grove, IlYeah, they got booed when they played this song at Ozzfest.
