Chocolate Girl

Deacon Blue

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 ardour

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 Cocolate 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
