But I tried and I sighed
He didn't listen to me, I felt that way
Still I tried and I sighed
He wouldn't understand me, I felt that way
But you're so young and you don't get me now
I feel so guilty and you are chocolate brown
Chocolate brown, I can't play
Not too long, I will make it up to you
Chocolate brown
Still I learn and I learn
There's so much to think about you
So much to lose
But it's just fine and you don't see it now
Don't make me guilty
Please don't chocolate brown
Chocolate brown, I can't play
Not too long, I will make it up to you
Chocolate brown
He didn't listen to me, I felt that way
Still I tried and I sighed
He wouldn't understand me, I felt that way
But you're so young and you don't get me now
I feel so guilty and you are chocolate brown
Chocolate brown, I can't play
Not too long, I will make it up to you
Chocolate brown
Still I learn and I learn
There's so much to think about you
So much to lose
But it's just fine and you don't see it now
Don't make me guilty
Please don't chocolate brown
Chocolate brown, I can't play
Not too long, I will make it up to you
Chocolate brown

i always find such a sadder deeper meaning
like having to actually give up a child
and even though there is the want to keep the child
there is a need to let go
they dont understand
and someday
someday it will be made up to that child
i find chocolate brown to be an endearing nick name
for a child that is sweet and different
... but thats just me
He must resist and cannot play with this child. He don't want made some bad thing with him. Dolores was agress when was child by this father.
Nothing to see with his son, sorry!
Otherwise, its a very dark and powerful song and a very serious one.
For the meaning, I think it's more some kind of bad family situation. She wants to protect her child from her problems (with the dad, maybe) and this makes her distant, she has less time to spend with her son, and she feels guilty about it. That's just my interpretation, but I think it really might be it.
She found that they are two types of person, that he would never be able to understand her.
She is going to give up this family, to start a new one without him and the baby. She supposes that her baby would be able to understand her, although whom is still too young at the moment. She feels so guilty for leaving her baby. She is about to leave, can't play with him already, just staying a little longer to say goodbye.
She is telling the baby that it won't be too long that she will make it up to him. Now she is still learning. There's so much to lose when she think about the kid. But she believes it will be just fine, although her baby is not going to understand right now. She hopes that her baby is not going to hate her, because that will make she feels so guilty. Say goodbye once more, then she leaves.
