"Candy From A Stranger" lyrics

"Candy From A Stranger"

The theme for the ceremony
Was "dress up as a song"
And you were Crazy In Love
I was Raspberry Beret
Which gave me the guts
To approach you and say

"So how did you choose which song to be?"
You said "It didn't hit me...
...til now
Til I saw your face
(Til I saw your face)
Til I saw your smile
Where have you been all this time?
(Where have you been all this time?)"
Baby baby
You said "Hey, I never caught your name
(I never caught your name)
But didn't we meet once
Different time, different place?"

Wait, what was that pill you gave to me?
It tasted like Hairspray
And now the music's in my veins
My mum said
To never take candy
From the hand of a stranger
So now we have to get to know each other

I just remembered...
...now
How much I love your face
(How much I love your face)
Your stupid smile
Where have you been all this time?
(Where have you been all this time?)
Baby baby
Hey, how did I ever forget
(How did I ever forget)
To not take you for granted?
I'm so sorry 'bout that

Let's pretend we're strangers again
Write down your number in the palm of my hand
Let's get crazy in love
Waving down taxis, because we can't get home fast enough
