about

I never understood the allure to chocolate for most women, but I know that most seem to like it...a lot. I came up with the melody and lyrics for this song in about five minutes while recording at my friend Bill's place. I laid down the idea and wrote out the lyrics and started recording it later that week. It still feels like it hasn't found it's home yet for me, so you may see this one again in a different form some time down the road.

lyrics

CHORUS:
If I’m gonna buy you chocolate and diamonds
You can come half way and I’ll climb in right beside you
And I’m gonna tell you anything you want me to
Just keep it in mind everything I ever do is for you

VERSE 1:
People are cautious
People are passionate at trying to start
Get caught in a whirlwind
And breaking apart

CHORUS
So if I’m gonna buy you chocolate and diamonds
You’re gonna have to come half way; I’ll jump in right beside you
And I’m gonna tell you anything you want me to
Just keep it in mind everything I ever do is for you

VERSE 2
People are crazy
People are passionate at breaking apart
Just to go back again
And try from the start

CHORUS
So if I’m gonna buy you chocolate and diamonds
You’re gonna have to come half way; I’ll jump in right beside you
And I’m gonna tell you anything you want me to
Just keep it in mind everything I ever do is for you

BRIDGE:
It’s alright if we fight
People say it happens for the rest of our lives
It’s okay if we wait
Or maybe rush it all and it becomes all a waste
Time will decide if we were right
Hold out for tomorrow maybe just for tonight
I want to know if this is real
Well, maybe hold on for just tomorrow

CHORUS
If I want to buy you chocolate and Diamonds
Come halfway, I’ll jump in right beside you
And I’m gonna tell you anything you want me to
Just keep it in mind that everything I do is for you
