New Edition Lyrics: Candy Girl Lyrics

New Edition - Candy Girl

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,
