Some Men Are Like Chocolate

Gentle words, had been my weapons

Careful openness and fragile honesty

Had gradually begun to slowly win him over

And somehow had lured him here

Despite my obvious display of defect

My miserable frailty

Of which I never made a secret

I disarmed him with my sincerity

That never waned, despite the laughter

Of public insult, ridicule

Not even when confessing meant

Turning myself into a wretched fool

Some men are like chocolate

But most of them are like shit

And if you don't have the experience

To spot that tiny difference

You're likely to fall for all of it

In secret, on those rare occasions

When no living soul was near

No eyes, no ears, no other people

Were around to see or hear

So there was no danger of some chance intruder

To doubt his manliness and strength

Then suddenly his words grew gentler

And his gestures slightly changed

He did not seem to mind my presence at all

Came even closer of his own accord

Yet still he veiled each subtle revelation

In rough-cut gowns of what we call the "accidental touch"

Some men can truly be like chocolate

But most of them are more like shit

And if you don't have the experience

To spot that tiny difference

You're likely to fall for all of it

Some men are like chocolate

But most of them are like shit

And if you don't have the experience

To spot that subtle difference

You're likely to fall for only the promise of a kiss
