Candy Bling Lyrics

I still remember...
That hazy September...
I've been waiting for somebody like you to come back around...

We walk in the park every Saturday
Brand new all in love kissing time away
You was all up on me, it was plain to see
That I was your girl
Way back then it was the simple things
Anklets, name plates that you gave to me
Sweet tarts, ring pops, had that candy bling
And you were my world

Now I wish I could back and make time stop
I would take this love throwback from the top
Go DJ, play my song
And I'ma think about you all night long

Back in the day we were in love
We're not in love anymore
But some days I sit and wish we were in love again
Back in the day we were in love
We're not in love anymore
But some days I sit and wish we were in love again
Irresponsible things we would do
Like fall asleep on the phone and skipping school
Now I'm back to the future missing you

My sweet baby
My sweet thing
Like candy
Felt like real love
Not just play play
(Missing you) my sweet baby
(I can't delete your picture from my mind)

It was everything that I could do to stay away
And I often reminisce about the games we played, oh yeah
It was tag, chase, spend the bottles
Them butterflies would last till tomorrow
Then the lights came on
I had to run right home

Now I wish I could back and make time stop
I would take this love throwback from the top
Go DJ, play my song
And I'ma think about you all night long

Back in the day we were in love
We're not in love anymore
But some days I sit and wish we were in love again
Back in the day we were in love
We're not in love anymore
But some days I sit and wish we were in love again
Irresponsible things we would do
Like fall asleep on the phone and skipping school
Now I'm back to the future missing you

My sweet baby
My sweet thing
Like candy
Felt like real love
Not just play play
Missing you my sweet baby
(I can't delete your picture from my mind)

I'm the same Mimi
Fame ain't changed me
Butterfly flow like Muhommad Ali
Wish I could bring you back like the O.D.B.
Thinking 'bout the whirlpools
Me you and Jack
No matter what I can do all the memories are stacked
Thinking 'bout 10th grade
Thinking 'bout 11th
Then you went dougie fresh
All the way to heaven

Back in the day we were in love
We're not in love anymore
But some days I sit and wish we were in love again
Back in the day we were in love
We're not in love anymore
But some days I sit and wish we were in love again
Irresponsible things we would do
Like fall asleep on the phone and skipping school
Now I'm back to the future missing you

My sweet baby
My sweet thing
Like candy
Felt like real love
Not just play play
Missing you my sweet baby
(I can't delete your picture from my mind, after all this time...)

A cute song about remembering love from one's youth, when things were seemed so simple.

Beautiful song. The beat is so flowing and vibrant. Agree with "Lottalaughter". About remembering love from your youth and missing those joys. Beautiful song!

I think her first love died, if that's the case, songs like The Wind (from Emotions) have more sense

My Interpretation
Cover art for Candy Bling lyrics by Mariah Carey

Oh Gosh this song brings me to tears everytime I pay attention to the lyrics. It's so touching and amazingly accurate the way Mariah describes that so bittersweet feeling of remembering your first love, that one that didn't work out but left a deep mark on you. Only Mariah can do this, to take you on a journey to those memories you keep shelved on your mind. It might be my favourite song in the album, and it reminds me very much of songs like "Fourth of July", "Breakdown", "The Roof" and specially "Subtle Invitation". I'm guessing that her first love died, like Dasinger said, which makes the song a bit darker... In my case I relate to that kind of daydream. Somehow my first love appears when I'm dreaming at night, or simply out of nothing. I've had a new boyfriend for 3 years but memories of this guy and me ten years ago always come to my mind as if nothing and no one could ever surpass those happy, bright, innocent, teenage days...
