Whoa-oh-oh (hey) whoa-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh (hey) whoa-oh-oh-ooh

I could have been a banker sitting in the cash arena

I could have been all that you wanted me to be

So you'd be proud when I would meet your family

And then, I thought about it, girl

What would I be without my music? Yeah, I

And I know we could never be, 'til you understand my ability

I am a candy man, there'll never be another like me (no, no)

I'm a musical handy man sitting in my backup sipping on Hennessy

They say that I am a randy man

That you should run away from me (you should run away from me)

But I'm really just a candy man (candy man)

Looking for some money to record me, my new CD

I could have been a freedom fighter, fighting for independence

But by the time my generation came around

The independence of our nation had been found

But even if I'm meant to fight, I would have fought it with my music

So baby girl, tell your family the music that I sing is my destiny

'Cause I am a candy man, there'll never be another like me (not another like me)

I'm a musical handy man (a handy man) sitting in my backup sipping on Hennessy

They say that I am a randy man (that I am a randy man)

You should run away from me (please, don't run away from me)

But I'm really just a candy man (just a candy man)

Looking for some money to record me, my new CD

Whoa-oh-oh (hey) whoa-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh (hey) whoa-oh-oh-ooh

Whoa-oh-oh (hey) whoa-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh (hey) whoa-oh-oh-ooh

Say if you really believe in my gift and my musical ability, yeah

Then you'll stay with me, girl, and you'll take me to your family

But if you lead me to leave it, my gift and my musical afinity

And I'll understand, girl, and you'll never be my enemy

I am a candy man (a candy man), there'll never be another like me

(Never, never, never be another)

I'm a musical handy man sitting in my backup sipping on Hennessy

They say that I am a randy man

That you should run away from me (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby, don't you leave me so)

But I'm really just a candy man

Looking for some money to record me, my new CD

I am a candy man, there'll never be another like me

I'm a musical handy man sitting in my backup sipping on Hennessy

They say that I am a randy man

That you should run away from me

But I'm really just a candy man

Looking for some money to record me, my new CD

Whoa-oh-oh (hey) whoa-oh-oh-oh
