Lyrics
Life is like a box of chocolates
Life is unpredictable, akin to a box of assorted chocolates.
You never know what you gonna get
Outcomes in life are uncertain and can't be foreseen in advance.
But you know you want to
Despite the uncertainty, there's a desire for certain outcomes or experiences.
Life is like a box of chocolates
Reiteration of life's unpredictability, akin to a box of chocolates.
You never know what you gonna get
Emphasis on the unknown nature of life's outcomes.
Mr. Gump gave me six lessons
Reference to advice received from Mr. Gump.
One: You should dance before you start running
Suggestion to enjoy the present moment before engaging in a task or journey.
Two: Your Momma will do anything for you
Mothers are supportive, willing to do anything for their children.
But some people will never get you
Recognition that not everyone will understand or empathize with you.
Three: You can master almost everything you want
Encouragement that most skills or endeavors can be mastered with dedication.
Four: Stick to your promises
Advisory to stay committed to one's promises or commitments.
And Five: You should take care of your Jenny
Importance of caring for someone named Jenny, likely significant in the narrator's life.
And six:
A pause, leaving the sixth lesson open-ended or unspoken.
Life is like a box of chocolates
Repeated comparison of life's uncertainty to a box of chocolates.
You never know what you gonna get but you know you want to
Reiteration that life's unpredictability is acknowledged despite the desire for certainty.
Life is like a box of chocolates
Continuation of the analogy, reinforcing life's unpredictability.
You never know what you gonna get
Emphasizing the unknown outcomes in life, echoing line 2.
