the life
of the party.
The laughter
and the light
crowded 'round.
But slowly
everybody
went and left me
All alone
when the lights
went down.
loves a box
full of chocolates,
With a party
or a lover
or a friend.
One by one
they get eaten
sweets
for the sweetened
Till there's just
one lone chocolate
in the end.
chocolate skin [CHOCOLATE SKIN]
Ain't enough... Ain't enough to hide
The proof [THE PROOF]
of the pudding [OF THE PUDDING]
What's under the hooding
No one wants what I've got inside
is like a box
of chocolates.
You got your candies,
and your caramels,
and your cremes,
Some exotic
things of beauty,
Some...
kinda fruity.
Oh, this life
is a thing of
extremes.
loves a box
full of chocolates,
For a dinner
or a meeting
or a date.
One by one
they get taken
Feel my chocolate
heart breakin'
Till there's just
one lone chocolate
on the plate.
chocolate skin [CHOCOLATE SKIN]
Ain't enough... Ain't enough to hide
The proof [THE PROOF]
of the pudding [OF THE PUDDING]
What's under the hooding
No one wants what I've got inside.
this chocolate skin [CHOCOLATE SKIN]
No one wants what I've got inside.
Now all of the chocs
are gone from the box
I'm so lonely, and there's nowhere to hide.
this chocolate skin [CHOCOLATE SKIN]
No one wants what I've got inside.
I'm just a bit smelly
and I'm filled with mint jelly.
I'm so lonely, and there's nowhere to hide.
