Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a rainy afternoon, 1990
The big city
Geez, it's been twenty years
Candy, you were so fine
[Verse 2]
Beautiful, beautiful girl from the North
You burned my heart with a flickerin' torch
I had a dream that no one else could see
You gave me love for free
[Verse 3]
Candy, Candy, Candy, I can't let you go
All my life you're hauntin' me, I loved you so
Candy, Candy, Candy, I can't let you go
Life is crazy
Candy, baby
[Verse 4]
Yeah, well, it hurt me real bad when you left
Hell, I'm glad you got out but, but I miss you
[Verse 5]
I've had a hole in my heart for so long
I've learned to fake it and just smile along
Down on the street, those men are all the same
I need a love
Not games
Not games
[Verse 6]
Candy, Candy, Candy, I can't let you go
All my life you're hauntin' me, I loved you so
Candy, Candy, Candy, I can't let you go
Life is crazy
I know, baby
Candy, baby
[Verse 7]
(Oh) Candy, Candy, Candy, I can't let you go
All my life you're hauntin' me, I loved you so
Candy, Candy, Candy, life is crazy
Candy, baby
Candy, baby
Candy, Candy
[Verse 8]
Candy, Candy, Candy, I can't let you go
All my life I'm waitin' for you, loved you so
Candy, Candy, Candy, I can't let you go
Candy, Candy, I can't let you go
