When you were 17 and i was 19
we feel deep in love growinĄŻ up in queens
we didnĄŻt know a thing about love
we was innocent, sneakinĄŻ on the doorstep to hug
held you tightly and promised you the world
you gave me hickeys and said you was my girl
when i think about it now it makes me smile
ĄŽcause i ainĄŻt felt these butterflies in a while
funny how you grow up and innocence fades
we used to live for love but now weĄŻre afraid
{of what?}
of the darkness and bitter memories
lovers who crushed us through infidelity
i promised you iĄŻll love you to the end
always and forever, since way back when, uh
youĄŻre like candy,
the worldĄŻs sweetest friend
you taste better now than you did back then

you will always be my candy
[be my]
one day we will start a family
you will always be my candy girl
[you will always be my]
(youĄŻll be my candy girl forever)
you will always be my candy
[yes, you will]
i want your love girl understand me
[yes, you will]
you will always be my candy girl
(iĄŻm down for whatever)

while you suck caramel apple lollypops
rain, sleet, or snow iĄŻm troopinĄŻ up the murdock
we used to walk down the block, hold hands
i would get you after school ĄŽcause i was your man
and, any guys that wanna socialize
just know that iĄŻmma flip on any cat that tries
my peeps used to say i was whipped
all your girls said, Ą°since you got with him you flippedĄą
but, uh, they couldnĄŻt feel the feelings we felt
mirrors on the ceiling we melt
i would look up at ya
i remember the afternoon you surrendered
we made love,
your temperature was high as could be
you said, Ą°todd, promise you ainĄŻt lyinĄŻ to meĄą
and as we went our separate ways you turned back
smiled, i remember all that

you will always be my candy
[be my]
one day we will start a family
[yes, we will]
you will always be my candy girl
[candy girl, youĄŻre my]
(my candy girl forever)
you will always be my candy
[alright]
want your love girl understand me
[understand me]
you will always be my candy girl
(okay, take it to the bridge)

candy girl
you are my world
[are my world]
look so sweet
youĄŻre a special treat
[sweet]

candy girl
(mmm, mmm, mmm)
all i want to say
i need your love
each and every day

when iĄŻm alone in my room,
sometimes i stare at the wall
and in the back of my mind,
i hear my memories call
for days when love was true,
i slept and held you
taste the brown sugar,
let your climax melt you
candy,
youĄŻre occupyinĄŻ all of my thoughts
turned my soul upside down with lessons you taught
i could feel you
even when youĄŻre far away youĄŻre right here witĄŻ me
sweet love strictly
and iĄŻmma bend over backwards to keep you on my side
take you for a mental and emotional ride
make love to your soul,
your heart, and your mind
in your hour of need, girl,
iĄŻll be there every time
and as long as you support my dreams
stayinĄŻ right beside me as a part of my team
iĄŻmma take you where the average man can only dream of
ĄŽcause in a world so sour i got the sweetest love

you will always be my candy
[youĄŻll]
one day we will start a family
you will always be my candy girl
[my candy girl, candy girl]
(youĄŻll be my candy girl forever)
you will always be my candy
[youĄŻll will always]
want your love girl understand me
[true love, hey, hey]
you will always be my candy girl
{i love you too}
(iĄŻm down for whatever)

candy girl
you are my world
[candy, candy]
look so sweet
youĄŻre a special treat
(youĄŻll be my candy girl forever)

candy girl
all i want to say
(word is bond, sweetheart, i swear)

(iĄŻm down for whatever)
