[English]

Oh so sweet chocolate

I just keep on missing it

and it's insane how you talk to me

Could be so sweet and bitter, a thrilling truth

You're my chocolate

A sweet feeling as if melting

Freshening like a mint

How many flavors are you, love?

Like you can't stay still

You're looking at me

Gradually spreading

Making me freeze

Just the same with the music

Make eye contact with me, babe

and I just wanna know

What am I supposed to take?

I'm running now next to you

Choose, sweet or bland

And I'll try other things for you

Bring some spice to the game

You can come closer to me now

Come melt down on me, yeah

You are the only love that fills me

Oh so sweet chocolate

I just keep on missing it

and it's insane how you talk to me

Could be so sweet and bitter, a thrilling truth

You're my chocolate

A sweet feeling as if melting

Freshening like a mint

How many flavors are you, love?

Uh, uh, baby, I gotta know, I gotta know you better, uh

You can slowly tell me everything, yeah

Or give me a list

From your favorite foods to your playlist

That's me too, cinnamon, shawty gon' kick, uh

Everything is new every day when I'm with you

I still can't see through, yeah-eh (Yeah-eh, eh)

I'm running now next to you (ooh-ooh)

Choose, sweet or bland

And I'll try other things for you

Bring some spice to the game

You can come closer to me now

Come melt down on me, yeah

You are the only love that fills me

Oh so sweet chocolate

I just keep on missing it

Insane how you talk to me

Could be so sweet and bitter, a thrilling truth

You're my chocolate

A sweet feeling as if melting

Freshening like a mint

I keep falling for you

Yeah
