"Candy From Strangers" lyrics
"Candy From Strangers"
Well, I built myself quite the reputation
But I'm not so sure it's one I wanted to build
And I got myself a bad attitude
Yeah, if looks, if looks from me could kill
Mama said, "Don't go takin' no candy from strangers."
She never told me nothin' 'bout no shots from boys in bars
Everybody in this place looks like pure danger
And I'ma let them play puppets with my heart
Well, I'm tryin', I'm tryin' real hard
To better myself now, tell me, baby, can't you see?
But with all of my tattoos
And these songs I like to sing about booze
They rank me the black sheep of the family
Well, mama said, "Don't go takin' no candy from strangers."
She never told me nothin' 'bout no shots from boys in bars
Everybody in this place looks like pure danger
And I'ma let them play puppets with my heart
Well, tomorrow I'll be sick
But tonight I'll keep chattin' with these guys
'Cause I know with all these lies I spit
Not one of these damn drinks am I gonna buy
Well, mama said, "Don't go takin' no candy from strangers."
She never told me nothin' 'bout no shots from boys in bars
Everybody in this place looks like pure danger
And I'ma let them play puppets with my heart
And I'ma let them play puppets with my heart
And I'ma let them play puppets with my heart
