Candy’s Boy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, in Candy's room there are pictures of her savior on the wall
But to get to Candy's room you've gotta walk the darkness of Candy's hall
Strangers from the city call my baby's number and they bring Candy toys
But when I come knockin' she smiles pretty
She knows tonight I'm gonna be Candy's boy

[Verse 2]
Well, in the olden days
When the Mongolian gangs rode herd out on Route 9
We'd go ridin' in the rain, runnin' south way down through the pines
Weekends in the sun in that cheap motel down by the dynamo
We loved each other 'til there was nothin' left
And drove that old car as hard and fast as she would go

[Bridge]
Well, like a cold winter wind blowin' in babe, I needed you
But Candy's got a man who takes care of her better than I do

[Verse 3]
Well, there's machines and there's fire waitin' for us on the edge of town
And there's some rough boys for hire
And they're waitin' to blow me and Candy down
And it's all right 'cause they can't touch us now, they'll never destroy
My sweet love, for I will forever be Candy's boy (Mmm hmm hmm, mmm)
My sweet love, for I will forever be Candy's boy (Alright)
[Organ Solo]
Once more
Mmm

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
