[featuring ricky bell ralph tresvant]
Verse 1: ll cool j
When you was seventeen and i was nineteen
We feel deep in love growing up in queens
We didnand't know a thing about love
We was innocent sneakinand' on the doorstep to hug
Held you tightly and promised you the world
You gave me hickys and said you was my girl
When i think about it now makes me smile
Cause i ainand't felt these butterflies in a while
Funny how you grow up and innocence fades
We used to live for love but now weand're afraid (of what?)
Of the darkness and bitter memories
Lovers who crushed us through infidelity
I promised you iand'd love you to the end
Always and forever since way back when
Youand're like candy the worldand's sweetest friend
You taste better now than you did back then
Chorus: bell/tresvan
You will always be my candy
One day we will start a family
You will always be my candy girl
(youand'll be my candy girl forever)
You will always be my candy
Want your love girl understand me
You will always be my candy girl
Verse 2: ll cool j
While you sucked caramel apple lolly pops
Rain sleet or snow iand'm troopinand' up the murdock
We used to walk down the block hold hands
I would get you after school cause i was your man
And any guys that wanna socalize
Just know that iand'm a flip on any cat that trys
My peeps used to say i was whipped
All your girls said since you got with him you flipped
But uh they couldnand't feel the feelings we felt
Mirrors on the ceiling we melt
I would look up at ya i remember
The afternoon you surrendered
We made love the tempature was high as could be
You said todd promise you ainand't lieinand' to me
And as we went our seperate ways you turned back
Smiled i remember all that
Chorus
Verse 3: bell/tresvant, ll cool j
(take it to the bridge)
Candy girl
You are my world
Look so sweet
Youand're a special treat
Candy gir
All i want to say
I need your love
Each and every day
When iand'm alone in my room sometimes i stare at the wall
And in the back of my mind i hear my memories call
Of days when love was true i slept and held you
Taste the brown sugar let your climax melt yo
Candy youand're occupying all of my thoughts
Turned my soul upside down with lessons you taught
I can feel you even when youand're far away youand're right here witand' me
Sweet love strictly
And iand'm a bend over backwards to keep you on my side
Take you for a mental and emotional ride
Make love to your soul your heart and your mind
In your hour of need girl iand'll be there every time
And as long as you support my dreams
Stayinand' right beside me as a part of my team
Iand'll take you where the average man can only dream of
Cause in a world so sour i got the sweetest love
Chorus
