Lyrics: Candy Girl
Album: Candy Girl
Artist: New Edition
 

When you were 17 and I was 19
We feel deep in love growin¡¯ up in Queens
We didn¡¯t know a thing about love
We was innocent, sneakin¡¯ 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
¡®Cause I ain¡¯t felt these butterflies in a while
Funny how you grow up and innocence fades
We used to live for love but now we¡¯re afraid
{Of what?}
Of the darkness and bitter memories
Lovers who crushed us through infidelity
I promised you I¡¯ll love you to the end
Always and forever, since way back when, uh
You¡¯re like candy,
The world¡¯s 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]
(You¡¯ll 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
(I¡¯m down for whatever)

While you suck caramel apple lollypops
Rain, sleet, or snow I¡¯m troopin¡¯ up the Murdock
We used to walk down the block, hold hands
I would get you after school ¡®cause I was your man
And, any guys that wanna socialize
Just know that I¡¯mma flip on any cat that tries
My peeps used to say I was whipped
All your girls said, ¡°Since you got with him you flipped¡±
But, uh, they couldn¡¯t 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, ¡°Todd, promise you ain¡¯t lyin¡¯ to me¡±
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, you¡¯re 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
You¡¯re a special treat
[Sweet]

Candy girl
(Mmm, mmm, mmm)
All I want to say
I need your love
Each and every day

When I¡¯m 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,
You¡¯re occupyin¡¯ all of my thoughts
Turned my soul upside down with lessons you taught
I could feel you
Even when you¡¯re far away you¡¯re right here wit¡¯ me
Sweet love strictly
And I¡¯mma 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,
I¡¯ll be there every time
And as long as you support my dreams
Stayin¡¯ right beside me as a part of my team
I¡¯mma take you where the average man can only dream of
¡®Cause in a world so sour I got the sweetest love

You will always be my candy
[You¡¯ll]
One day we will start a family
You will always be my candy girl
[My candy girl, Candy girl]
(You¡¯ll be my candy girl forever)
You will always be my candy
[You¡¯ll will always]
Want your love girl understand me
[True love, hey, hey]
You will always be my candy girl
{I love you too}
(I¡¯m down for whatever)

Candy girl
You are my world
[Candy, candy]
Look so sweet
You¡¯re a special treat
(You¡¯ll be my candy girl forever)

Candy girl
All I want to say
(Word is bond, sweetheart, I swear)
I need your love
(I¡¯m down for whatever)

Candy girl
(I love you Baby, I love you Baby)
(Sometimes you gotta go back home)
Look so sweet
(Yeah)
{I love you}
