Candy Girl - New Edition

When you were 17 and I was 19 
We feel deep in love growin¡¯ up in Queens 
We didn¡¯t know a thing about love 
We was innocent, sneakin¡¯ on the doorstep to hug 
Held you tightly and promised you the world 
You gave me hickeys and said you was my girl 
When I think about it now it makes me smile 
¡®Cause I ain¡¯t felt these butterflies in a while 
Funny how you grow up and innocence fades 
We used to live for love but now we¡¯re afraid 
{Of what?} 
Of the darkness and bitter memories 
Lovers who crushed us through infidelity 
I promised you I¡¯ll love you to the end 
Always and forever, since way back when, uh 
You¡¯re like candy, 
The world¡¯s sweetest friend 
You taste better now than you did back then 


You will always be my candy 
[Be my] 
One day we will start a family 
You will always be my candy girl 
[You will always be my] 
(You¡¯ll be my candy girl forever) 
You will always be my candy 
[Yes, you will] 
I want your love girl understand me 
[Yes, you will] 
You will always be my candy girl 
(I¡¯m down for whatever) 


While you suck caramel apple lollypops 
Rain, sleet, or snow I¡¯m troopin¡¯ 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 socialize 
Just know that I¡¯mma flip on any cat that tries 
My peeps used to say I was whipped 
All your girls said, ¡°Since you got with him you flipped¡± 
But, uh, they couldn¡¯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, 
Your temperature was high as could be 
You said, ¡°Todd, promise you ain¡¯t lyin¡¯ to me¡± 
And as we went our separate ways you turned back 
Smiled, I remember all that 


You will always be my candy 
[Be my] 
One day we will start a family 
[Yes, we will] 
You will always be my candy girl 
[Candy girl,
