Chocolate Saved My Life

Lyrics

[Intro] Oh, mercy me, pass the cocoa! [Verse 1] Monday broke my spirit, Tuesday stole my shoes Wednesday called a meeting I was destined to lose Then you showed up wrapped in gold beside the kitchen light One square turned the whole week round and made the wrong feel right [Pre-Chorus] When the rent got rude and my plans went thin You melted sweetly and pulled me in No judgment, no questions, no alibi Just a little brown miracle saying, “Baby, try” [Chorus] Chocolate saved my life, hallelujah, testify Through the thick and through the thin, you were always by my side Delicious, comforting, divine, and loyal to the end Without chocolate, tell me, where would we be, my friend? Chocolate saved my life, somebody ring the choir bell From the biscuit to the truffle, you know me way too well I was down, you brought me back, with a caramel surprise Chocolate saved my life—yes, I’m talking to the prize! [Verse 2] You came to every breakup, every awkward family meal You healed a paper cut I got while opening a seal You stood beside my treadmill when my motivation fled Then comforted my feelings with hazelnuts and bread [Pre-Chorus] When my inbox screamed and my trousers got tight You said, “One more piece, it’ll be all right” The doctor asked me questions, I answered with a grin “Is it medically essential?” Well, spiritually, yes indeed! [Chorus] Chocolate saved my life, hallelujah, testify Through the thick and through the thin, you were always by my side Delicious, comforting, divine, and loyal to the end Without chocolate, tell me, where would we be, my friend? Chocolate saved my life, somebody ring the choir bell From the biscuit to the truffle, you know me way too well I was down, you brought me back, with a caramel surprise Chocolate saved my life—yes, I’m talking to the prize! [Bridge] Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate too Every shade of salvation tastes deliciously true If trouble knocks, I’ll let it wait outside I’ve got a family-size bar and the Lord on my side [Breakdown] Who got me through the deadline? Chocolate! Who forgave my midnight crimes? Chocolate! Who was there when nobody called? Chocolate! Who made a snack out of it all? Chocolate! [Final Chorus] Chocolate saved my life, hallelujah, testify Through the thick and through the thin, you were always by my side Delicious, comforting, divine, and loyal to the end Without chocolate, tell me, where would we be, my friend? Chocolate saved my life, let the whole room testify If we’re here by sheer deliciousness, then praise the sweet supply Take a bite and raise it high, let the cocoa testify Chocolate saved my life—now pass the box, and don’t ask why! [Outro] Amen, cacao. One for the road? Absolutely.
