"Candy" lyrics

"Candy"

He graduated in '92
But she had barely left the womb
Divorced in the middle of June
When she was coming into bloom

Wife left him and took the child
Cause he didn't grew up past 25
Midlife crisis that he's living through
Found a girl who's fresh outta school

She's a fan of an older guy
A love that he can buy
She's a ten down in our home town
And he likes a trophy to parade around

Calls her baby, never crazy, she repays with sugar
Not a wifey, treats her nicely, nightly melts like butter
So sweet but her treats aren't free
He's on his knees, begging candy please

Her mother says she doesn't approve
But loves him when the rent is due
Folks will talk
But she's busy picking a rock

She's a fan of an older guy
A love only he can buy
She's a ten down in our home town
And he likes a trophy to parade around

Calls her baby, never crazy, she repays with sugar
Not a wifey, treats her nicely, nightly melts like butter
So sweet but her treats aren't free
He's on his knees, begging candy please

They don't understand
She could have her any man
She said, I do
No more gossip for you
She's in love with an older guy
A love money couldn't buy

Calls her baby, never crazy, she repays with sugar
Not a wifey, treats her nicely, nightly melts like butter
So sweet but her treats aren't free
He's on his knees, begging candy please

Calls her baby, never crazy, she repays with sugar
Not a wifey, treats her nicely, nightly melts like butter
So sweet but her treats aren't free
He's on his knees, begging candy please

And it's clear to see
That he loves candy
