When you were 17 and I was 19
We feel deep in love growin¡¯ up in Queens
We didn¡¯t know a thing about love
We was innocent, sneakin¡¯ on the doorstep to hug
Held you tightly and promised you the world
You gave me hickeys and said you was my girl
When I think about it now it makes me smile
¡®Cause I ain¡¯t felt these butterflies in a while
Funny how you grow up and innocence fades
We used to live for love but now we¡¯re afraid
{Of what?}
Of the darkness and bitter memories
Lovers who crushed us through infidelity
I promised you I¡¯ll love you to the end
Always and forever, since way back when, uh
You¡¯re like candy,
The world¡¯s sweetest friend
You taste better now than you did back then
You will always be my candy
[Be my]
One day we will start a family
You will always be my candy girl
[You will always be my]
(You¡¯ll be my candy girl forever)
You will always be my candy
[Yes, you will]
I want your love girl understand me
[Yes, you will]
You will always be my candy girl
(I¡¯m down for whatever)
While you suck caramel apple lollypops
Rain, sleet, or snow I¡¯m troopin¡¯ up the Murdock
We used to walk down the block, hold hands
I would get you after school ¡®cause I was your man
And, any guys that wanna socialize
Just know that I¡¯mma flip on any cat that tries
My peeps used to say I was whipped
All your girls said, ¡°Since you got with him you flipped¡±
But, uh, they couldn¡¯t feel the feelings we felt
Mirrors on the ceiling we melt
I would look up at ya
I remember the afternoon you surrendered
We made love,
Your temperature was high as could be
You said, ¡°Todd, promise you ain¡¯t lyin¡¯ to me¡±
And as we went our separate ways you turned back
Smiled, I remember all that
You will always be my candy
[Be my]
One day we will start a family
[Yes, we will]
You will always be my candy girl
[Candy girl,
