Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come on, baby, let me take you by the hand
Come on, sugar, let me take you by the hand
Go for me, let me be
All your own candy, your candy, candy man
[Verse 2]
Come on, baby, I love your honey lovin' ways
(Candy man, candy man, candy man)
Hey there, sweet thing, I love your honey lovin', your honey lovin' ways
(Candy man, candy man, candy man, candy man)
Come to me, let me be
All your own candy, your candy, candy man
[Verse 3]
Come on, woman, gonna treat you right
Give you candy kisses every single night
[Verse 4]
(Candy man, candy man, candy man, candy man)
Go for me, let me be
All your own candy, your candy, candy man
[Verse 5]
Yeah, candy, candy, candy
I got a sweet, sweet tooth for you
Yeah, candy, candy, candy
I got a sweet tooth for you
Written by: Beverly Ross, Fred Neil
