Candy Lyrics

Drifted in school
Daddy is a fool
We know someone's on your mind
Women whose phase
Velvet and lace
Curling couplets into time and space
Meet the man who needs you now
Can you give your love away like Candy?
Down on your knees
Trimming the trees
Can you imagine what it's like?
Lovers lament
General dissent
Doctor's orders are unkind and bent
Meet the man who needs you now
Can you give your love away like Candy?
Instrumental (Electric Guitar)
Very profound
Merry-go-round
Spinning innocense and dreams
Can you believe
All you perceive
Love is never what it seemed to be
Meet the man who needs you now
Can you give your love away like Candy?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Good to know (thanks) 'cause I was wondering if there were more to this song. Never saw the movie, but obviously about wanting love to be given freely. Would love to hear someone else explain it 'cause it's obviously more indepth than that...
