"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

I will not hold your hands and pretend I'm your lover
You must admit the turnouts have all been less than grand
There's no more police escorts...
Feist - "Past In Present" The scarlet letter isn't black
Gotta know who's got your back
Because they're right in front of you
Because they're telling you the truth
So much present inside my present
Inside my present...
Twin Shadow - "When We're Dancing" I'm trying to remember all the things that I've moaned
They all shine soft and stand alone
Like I picture you waiting at the end of a bridge
But it's hard for me to render up the things that we did...
Shout Out Louds - "Normandie" I tear my jacket off.
How can such a nordic city make me sweat?
I am adding five more colours
but this blistering headache makes me wanna quit.
