You Want The Candy Lyrics

I know that you want the candy
Gimme candy I've never had
Tastes so sweet makes good love bad

Sweet sweet lips
The taste of you tonight
Turn me on
Strangers in delight
Sugar done melt the day
The dark comes bittersweet
Black lollipops
Come on gimme a dirty treat

I know that you want the candy
Gimme candy I've never had
Tastes so sweet makes good love bad

Fallen out with my love
A grievous time to pass
Sugar done break my heart
A heart not meant to last
In spite of saddened days
I hooked myself on you
But all my troubled ways
Still walked with me boo hoo

I know that you want the candy
Gimme candy I've never had
Tastes so sweet makes good love bad

Gimme some C to kill
Gimme some C to tease
Gimme some C so I can wrap
Myself in you
Oh please

But everything came around
Candy done taste sweet
Made me think what I found
AN expired love treat
I gave myself to you
I wanted nothing back
I plowed my way through hell
For a sweet sweet love attack

I know that you want the candy
Gimme candy I've never had
Tastes so sweet makes good love bad

That Great Love Sound

I know that you want the candy
Gimme candy I've never had
Tastes so sweet makes good love bad

Sweet sweet lips
The taste of you tonight
Turn me on
Strangers in delight
Sugar done melt the day
The dark comes bittersweet
Black lollipops
Come on gimme a dirty treat

I know that you want the candy
Gimme candy I've never had
Tastes so sweet makes good love bad

Fallen out with my love
A grievous time to pass
Sugar done break my heart
A heart not meant to last
In spite of saddened days
I hooked myself on you
But all my troubled ways
Still walked with me boo hoo

I know that you want the candy
Gimme candy I've never had
Tastes so sweet makes good love bad

Gimme some C to kill
Gimme some C to tease
Gimme some C so I can wrap
Myself in you
Oh please

But everything came around
Candy done taste sweet
Made me think what I found
AN expired love treat
I gave myself to you
I wanted nothing back
I plowed my way through hell
For a sweet sweet love attack

I know that you want the candy
Gimme candy I've never had
Tastes so sweet makes good love bad

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.
