I would add a slightly different bend to the 1st interpretation; she, the subject of the song, might as well be named "Candy-O"; the real issue is that no matter what he does, she is never truly satisfied: it's all about her. He always has to prove himself and put work into the relationship, but she just keeps wanting "something new", can't settle down. It sounds like they might have had several get-together's, at least (perhaps just enough to keep stringing him along?), but she continues to disappoint him w/her lack of commitment and follow-through. Candy O was more about the aspect of being a pre-Madonna - always looking for that shiny new toy to keep her happy...impossibly ungrateful, insatiable! Very close, I would gamble to bet these 2 songs are about the same lover...
