Lyrics

You know ladies, I'm in love with a man that's totally unreal
This man is so sweet and kind and nice until I really don't believe it
And you know I'm kind of a tester, I like to test
To see if it's true or just what's happening
I'm sure that you know what I mean
I'm not leaving the men out because I'm sure men run into
Ladies that they feel the same way about but they kinda scared
You know you get scared to lay your feelings out
Because you think they may get tap danced on again
And everybody gets tired of that
But look here, this man that I have is unreal
He's so sweet until he'll make Candy just lay down, just Candy
Like peppermint sticks and things like that
You know, and I have to talk about it to somebody because
I haven't told him yet exactly how I feel about him
But it's coming
I'm gonna have to tell him pretty soon
Cause I can't hold it much longer
Candy
I call my sugar Candy
I'm sweet on Candy
And Candy he's sweet on me
Oh he understands me
My understanding Candy
My Candy's always handy
Whenever I need sympathy
Oh I wish, how I wish
That there were more of him
And I could love that much, that much more of him
He has come along and taken my complete heart
And I've got a sweet tooth for my, my, my sweetheart
Candy, Candy, Candy
Well, it's gonna be just dandy
The day that I take my Candy and make him mine
All mine
Candy I'm talking to you
It's time you knew how I felt about you baby
You're so sweet I don't believe it
But I love you
And every time you put your arms around me
You give me nothing but cold, cold, cold, cold chills Candy
Baby please don't get no sweeter
Cause I couldn't stand it
My ever loving Candy
Oh when you hug me and you hold me
Ooh when you just touch me chills go up and down my spine baby
Oh Candy, like I said don't get no sweeter
I don't wanna have to go to my doctor, you know what I mean
And have him tell me I got sugar diabetes from
Being with you and loving you and hugging you Candy
I'm gonna be your wife someday Candy
I'll make him mine
Make him mine
Make him mine
All mine
