Lyrics

When I wake up in the morning
You bring me breakfast in my bed
And when I need a little sugar
That’s when you go to my head
You’re the sweetest (Candy man) Man I know
And I’ll never let you go
Just say you’ll stay (Candy Man) With me forever
And our love will surely grow, ooh-hoo
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
You can be my candy man
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
'Cause I really know you can
Hey!
Candy man
Candy man
Ooh-hoo
When you wake up in the morning
And affection’s on your mind
You just call me up now, baby
And I’ll always find the time
You’re the sweetest (Candy man) Man I know
And I thought I’d tell you so
Just say you’ll stay (Candy Man) With me forever
And our love will surely grow, ooh-hooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
You can be my candy man
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
'Cause I really know you can
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, be my, be my candy man
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
'Cause I, oh I know you can
I know, I know you can
Let me be, let me be (Let me be, let me be)
The one that you come home to
Let me be, let me be (Let me be, let me be)
You’re one and only love (Love, love, love)
Be my sugar daddy, baby
Candy man, candy man (Ooh-oh)
Candy man, candy man (Oh-oh-oooh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
You can be my candy man, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
'Cause I really know you can
Oooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) Yeah, oh-oh
Be my candy man
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) Ooh-ooh, yeah
'Cause I really know you can
I want you to be
Be my sugar, be my sugar daddy (Candy man)
I’ll be your sugar, sugar sweet as honey (Candy man)
Be my candy
Be my sweetie, baby (Candy man)
Be my sugar, be my sugar daddy (Candy man)
