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 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
The world's sweetest friend
You taste better now than you did back then
You will always be my candy
One day we will start a family
You will always be my candy girl
(You'll be my candy girl forever)
You will always be my candy
I want your love girl understand me
You will always be my candy girl
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 want to 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 remember the afternoon you surrendered
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
One day we will start a family
You will always be my candy girl
You will always be my candy
Want your love girl understand me
You will always be my candy girl
(Okay, take it to the bridge)
When I'm alone in my room,
Sometimes I stare at the wall
And in the back of my mind,
For days when love was true,
You're occupyin' all of my thoughts
Turned my soul upside down with lessons you taught
Even when you're far away you're right here wit' me
And I'mma bend over backwards to keep you on my side
Take you for a mental and emotional ride
Your heart, and your mind
In your hour of need, girl,
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
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
Want your love girl understand me
You will always be my candy girl
(You'll be my candy girl forever)
(Word is bond, sweetheart, I swear)
(I love you Baby, I love you Baby)
(Sometimes you gotta go back home)
