Chicken Rice Blues

[Verse]
When you served me on that plate so wide
Golden skin with a secret inside
Steamed to perfection
Oh
I sighed
But now you’re gone
And I’m tongue-tied

[Prechorus]
Oh chicken rice
My heart’s in slices
The soy and broth were priceless

[Chorus]
If you loved me like I loved you
You wouldn’t be so far from my view
I’d hold you close
With sauce so true
Oh chicken rice
I need you

[Verse 2]
Jasmine steam rises
A fragrant cloud
The crunch of skin used to make me proud
Now it’s empty
The table’s loud
But no rice left
I’ve been disavowed

[Prechorus]
Oh chicken rice
My heart’s in pieces
Your absence
It increases

[Chorus]
If you loved me like I loved you
You wouldn’t leave me with just this stew
The garlic’s gone
The ginger too
Oh chicken rice
I miss you
