Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Meltin' in the sun, all that chocolate on my tongue
That's a pretty good reason to live
Pretty good reason to live
Sittin' in the bathtub, hi-fi playin' low
Diggin' that Al Green, well you must know what I mean
That's a pretty good reasonto live
If I die young, at least I got some chocolate on my tongue
If I die young, at least I got some chocolate on my tongue
Sittin' in the front seat, good boy in my arms
Smilin' in my eyes, and gettin' me all hypnotized
That's a pretty good reason to live
Pretty good reason to live
If I die young, at least I got some chocolate on my tongue
If I die young, at least I got some chocolate on my tongue
If I die young, at least I got some chocolate on my tongue
If I die young, atleast I got some chocolate on my tongue
