Cover art for Candy lyrics by Jackson Browne

Daughter of a woman who comes and goes, Candy Daugher of a man she barely knows, Candy All grown up about the things, people know to do, How to take a love, and tear it in two No no no, that isn't how it's gonna be for Candy

She wants to be in love but she doesn't know why, Candy They think she's a child, but look at her, my my Candy Step by step, this is her debut Looking for love, that's made to stay true Step by step, she's looking for more than I see for Candy

Candy, you know what your love is worth It's a good thing Candy, take care of your own love first What the world needs know

All the young men want to pin her down. Candy If you're looking for a real love, it's a ghost town Candy Step by step, this her debut Looking for love that's made to stay true Step by step, she's looking for more than I see for Candy

Sorry, Jackson, but your lyrics are all over the Internet already and since your birth in 1948 your talent has brought you fame and fortune. (I'm trying to justify posting the lyrics:). The song seems to be about a woman from a broken home who is in search of true love, and she is reminded that she must love herself first. Nice tune.
