Candy from a Stranger Lyrics

When a young boy wants to die
Thinking he might try taking his own life
And from up, from behind
Put the gun to his side and said:

Give me all your money
Your money or your life
Candy from a stranger
Candy from a stranger
Candy from a stranger

Ca-ca-ca-ca-candy from a stranger

When an old man said he wants to live
Telling the doctor he's got more left to give
Doctor says that you pay or you die

Give me all your money
Money or your life
Candy from a stranger
Candy from a stranger
Candy from a stranger

Ca-ca-ca-ca-candy from a stranger

Give me all your money
Money or your life
Candy from a stranger
Candy from a stranger

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.
