RHCP - Knock Me Down (original long version)

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Knock Me Down
1989.

This is the original version of Knock Me Down. It's not on the original album from '89, but exists as a bonus track on Mother's Milk 2003 Remastered album

LYRICS:
Never too soon to be through
Being cool too much too soon
Too much for me too much for you
You're gonna loose in time

Every turn looking to burn
Some never learn live and learn
Stop your searching for a curse
Before you end up in a hearse

Don't be afraid to show your friends
That you hurt inside inside
Pain's part of life don't hide behind your false pride
It's a lie - your lie

Don't slip away and don't forget
I'll give you more than you can get
It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself
Come to me

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life
(x2)

I'm tired of being untouchable
I'm not above the love
I'm part of you and you're part of me
Why did you go away?

Too late to tell you how I feel
I want you back but I get real
Can you hear my falling tears
Making rain where you lay

Finding what you're looking for
Can end up being such a bore
I pray for you most every day
My love's with you now fly away

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
(x2)

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life
(x6)

It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself
It's so lonely
(x4)

Ever since I first heard this version, the short version sounds incomplete to me.

[1234watsup4321]

@FruscianteSlovak is it because of the song being about hilel?
