Before reading this page, I had a very dfferent idea of what this song was about. Going with what Schock was saying (though why the hell did you capitalize every damn word?), I also thought the contrast between lyrics and music was interesting, because the lyrics were so cynical seeming and hopeless while the music was very happy and energetic. I first thought that the song was claiming that entering into a committed relationship was only setting yourself up for pain and heartbreak, much more than it was worth. The lines "Suckin' too hard on your lollipop, oh love's gonna get you down" and "too much candy's gonna rot your soul" then meant that striving for love was just going to cause you to become bitter (because the relationship will inevitably fail to satisfy the need for love) and a more miserable person. As in, the more/harder you try the worse it gets.
However, after hearing what he had to say about it, reading the lyrics out of the actual booklet, and seeing the picture behind said lyrics, I am more than willing to believe that the song's meant to convince his sister to save herself sexually.
