Lyrics
[Intro]
La, la-la-la, la-la-la
Now, come on now, baby
Bootsy here, gettin' caught up on your ketchup, baby
La, la-la-la, la-la-la
I done seen a lot of pretty women
But I'd still rather be with you
Ya dig?
[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah, okay
Now she screamin' fuck me
She used to love me
Even when I was ugly
My-my, my nose was runnin'
But sure 'nough, we made love up in that backseat, yeah
Others hoes was chasin', they can't catch me, yeah
Used to hit the beaches on the sunny days
Now she wit' a **** on a different wave
And I wish that you would see me
Got me locked up in my brain, just free me
[Chorus]
Candy
Baby, ooh, I like the way
Girl, you taste like
Girl, you taste like
Girl, you taste like
Girl, you taste like
Taste like candy
Baby, brown sugar, honey
Girl, you taste like
Girl, you taste like
Girl, you taste like
Girl, you taste like
[Verse 2]
Okay, I know it's been a while, girl, since I called this phone
Leave a voice message, then I leave you alone
But I-I ain't never been here, so I feel like a rookie
Since we split, I hit a couple
But ain't like they pussy, so
So patiently, I was waitin' for some signs of approbation
But shit, she steady playin'
And I hate to see you frown, but I can't help notice
You'd find that **** you was lookin' for if you just focus
I'm right here
[Chorus]
Candy
Ooh, you taste just like
Girl, you taste like
I know you taste like
Ooh, you taste like
Girl, you taste like
Taste like candy
Ooh, brown sugar, honey
Girl, you taste like
Oh, your taste, your taste, just like it
Girl, you taste like
[Bridge]
La, la-la-la, la-la-la
See, girl, we split up last December
I ain't hit you till September
All those good times that we had
Please don't act like you don't 'member it
La, la-la-la, la-la-la
And please forgive me and my antics
Lately, I've been feelin' manic
Since I seen you with that loser, girl
I been feelin' frantic, yeah
[Chorus]
Candy
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Girl, you taste like
Girl, you taste like
Girl, you taste like
Taste like
Taste like candy
Oh, yeah, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Girl, you taste like
Oh girl, you taste like
Girl, you taste like
Ah, yeah
