Chocolate Saved My Life

Letra

[INTRO] [SPOKEN — CAMPAIGN / ARGUMENTATIVE] I’m telling you… Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this chocolate is innocent. Hit it! [VERSE 1 — RESTRAINED] Monday broke my spirit, Tuesday stole my smile Wednesday called a meeting I was destined to lose Then it showed up wrapped in gold beside the kitchen light One square turned the whole week round, made the wrong feel right [PRE-CHORUS — BUILD] Thursday came around and the bills landed in It melted sweetly, pulled me in Friday came, I should’ve been out feeling fine Instead I was home with it by half-past nine No judgment, no questions, no alibi Just a little sweet miracle saying, “Baby, try” [CHORUS — FULL] Chocolate saved my life, hallelujah, testify Through the thick and through the thin, it was always by my side Delicious, comforting, divine, loyal to the end Without chocolate, tell me, where would we be, my friend? From the biscuit to the truffle, it knows me way too well I was down, it brought me back with a caramel surprise Chocolate saved my life— yes, chocolate saved my life! [VERSE 2] It came to every breakup, every awkward work meal Stood beside my treadmill when motivation fled Then turned up with the hazelnuts just before bed [PRE-CHORUS] When my inbox screamed and my phone lit red “One more piece, there’ll be no regret” When the world decides to try and bring me down Have a square— we’ll sort it out [CHORUS] Chocolate saved my life, hallelujah, testify Through the thick and through the thin, it was always by my side Delicious, comforting, divine, loyal to the end Without chocolate, tell me, where would we be, my friend? From the biscuit to the truffle, it knows me way too well I was down, it brought me back with a caramel surprise Chocolate saved my life— yes, chocolate saved my life! [BRIDGE] Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate too Every kind of salvation, something different coming through If trouble knocks, I’ll let it wait outside I’ve got a family bar and time is on my side [BREAKDOWN — CALL AND RESPONSE] Who got me through the deadline? [CHOIR:] Chocolate! Who forgave my midnight crimes? [CHOIR:] Chocolate! Who was there when nobody called? [CHOIR:] Chocolate! Who delivers every time? [CHOIR:] Chocolate! [FINAL CHORUS] Chocolate saved my life, hallelujah, testify Through the thick and through the thin, it was always by my side Delicious, comforting, divine, loyal to the end Without chocolate, tell me, where would we be, my friend? From the biscuit to the truffle, it knows me way too well I was down, it brought me back with a caramel surprise Chocolate saved my life— yes, chocolate saved my life! [OUTRO] [SPOKEN — GOSPEL FALLING TO LOW-KEY ENDING] Thank you, chocolate, for getting me through. One for the road? Absolutely.
