Lyrics

It's a rainy afternoon in 1990
The big city... geez it's been 20 years!
Candy, you were so fine

Beautiful beautiful girl from the north
You burnt my heart with a flickering torch
I had a dream that no one else could see
You gave me love for free

(Chorus)
Candy candy candy I can't let you go
All my life you're haunting me I loved you so
Candy candy candy I can't let you go

Life is crazy candy baby

Yeah, well it hurt me real bad when you left
I'm glad you got out, but... but I miss you

I've had a hole in my heart for so long
I've learned to fake it and just smile along
Down on the street those men are all the same
I need love not games not games

(Repeat chorus)

Life is crazy I know baby candy baby

(Repeat chorus without the last "i can't let you go")

Life is crasy candy baby
Candy baby *2

(Repeat chorus and fade)
