I bought my wife chocolates on Valentine’s Day.

She cried, “How I love you!” and snatched them away.

She dashed to the bedroom and locked the door fast,

She romanced that whole box–they’re a thing of the past.

.

With dark or light chocolate I cannot compete,

But I’ve got a plan that will make life complete:

When I’m weary and worn and battered by life,

Dip me in chocolate and toss me to my wife.

.

It was two in the morning when she woke me up,

She was clinging like I was a sweet Reece’s Cup.

She purred, “Do you love me?” I muttered, “I do.”

She said, “Buy me M and M’s. Make that one bag…no two!”

.

With dark or light chocolate I cannot compete,

But I’ve got a plan that will make life complete:

When I’m weary and worn and battered by life,

Dip me in chocolate and toss me to my wife.

.

I bought her those M and M’s, but I’m no fool.

I asked Mr. Hershey for sweet chocolate, too.

Come, Hon, this is fun! I’ll show you a trick.

I’ll squirt chocolate on–you come take a lick.

.

With dark or light chocolate I cannot compete,

But I’ve got a plan that will make life complete:

When I’m weary and worn and battered by life,

Dip me in chocolate and toss me to my wife.

.

Dip me in chocolate and toss me to my wife,

Dip me in chocolate and toss me to my wife.

When I’m weary and worn and battered by life,

Dip me in chocolate and toss me to my wife.

I wrote this lyric to tease my wife, Judi, who happens to be related to Milton Hershey, of the chocolate manufacturing fame. She also grew up on M and M’s, and has a decided taste for other of her great uncle’s products. This is a “just for fun” lyric.
