Lyrics:

Well, baby, baby, don'tcha want a man like me
Whoa, baby, baby, I'm just as sweet as anybody can be
Whoa, baby, baby, I wanna look into your eyes of blue
Oh, baby, baby, it's more than anybody else can do

Well, oh, baby, baby, when I see ya walkin' down the street
Oh, baby, baby, well, you're lookin' good enough to eat
Whoa, baby, baby, don't believe I've tasted this before
Oh, baby, babe, I want it now, and every month or more

Yeah, chocolate bite, yeah
Yeah, chocolate bite, yeah

Oh, baby, baby, you know that I wanted more
Oh, baby, baby, I'm about to kiss goodbye to this store
Oh, baby, baby, ain't the wrappin' that sells the goods
Whoa, baby, baby, got a sweet tooth but my mouth is full

Yeah, chocolate bite, yeah
Ooh, yeah, chocolate bite, yeah

Yeah, chocolate bite, yeah
Ooh, yeah, chocolate bite, yeah
Oooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Mm-baby, it's alright, it's alright
Oooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Mm-baby, it's alright, oh, it's alright

Well, oh, baby, baby, well, ya sting like a bee
Whoa, baby, baby, I like your honey and it sure likes me
Oh, baby, baby, I got my spoon inside your jar
Whoa, baby, babe, don't give me too much, don't make me start on fire

Oh, baby, baby, sugar siftin' on a silver plate, huh
Oh, baby, baby, I'll eat 'em up, I just can't wait, no
Oh, baby, babe, see the shakin' in my hand
Oh, baby, babe, don't gimme clover, doesn't taste so grand
Taste so grand, taste so grand, taste so grand, taste so grand

Oooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Baby, it's alright, oh, it's alright
A-oooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, baby, it's alright, oh, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-hoo-ooh, ooh-ooh-hoo-ooh
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-hoo-ooh, ooh-ooh-hoo-ooh
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh-ooh-hoo-ooh, ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh
It's alright, yeah, it's alright
Woo-ooh-hoo-ooh, ooh-ooh, woo-ooh
It's alright, it's alright
Oh, ooh-ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
It's alright, it's alright
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, alright


Influences: This song is supposed to be based off of a 1950's rockabilly kind of sound, inspired by Elvis Presley. Also, one of the riffs in this song seems to be borrowed from the song Walter's Walk, recorded by Led Zeppelin in 1972, but not released until 1982 on Coda.
