Alan doesn't understand her He only thinks in numbers He only drinks in restaurants Where the girls are fully covered And he can't trust his yearnings And he doesn't like pretending His tempers stretched so much by work His heart needs gentle rending He calls her the chocolate girl Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her She knows she's the chocolate girl Cause she's broken up and swallowed And wrapped in bits of silver Alan doesn't understand this He says he's only human So he still lights up with old flames As if to try and prove it And he doesn't like emotion He's not certain of their ardor If pouting causes so much fun Then breaking hearts is harder He calls her the chocolate girl Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her She knows she's the chocolate girl Cause she's broken up and swallowed And wrapped in bits of silver Alan doesn't understand her He thinks it's getting harder So he spends the night with old friends Underneath the covers And he talks about the chocolate girl And how he thinks she melts when he touches her And that she knows she's the chocolate girl Cause she's broken up and swallowed And wrapped in bits of silver And he calls her the chocolate girl Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her And she knows she's the chocolate girl Cause she's broken up and swallowed And wrapped in bits of silver
