Lyrics

So like candy

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Here lies the powder and perfume

The pretty clothes are scattered 'round the room

And it's so like Candy

Here lies the lipstick and the face

The coloured tablets keep it all in place

And it's so like Candy

So like Candy

Chorus:

What did I do to make her go

Why must she be the one

That I have to love

So like Candy

Here lies a picture of a girl

Her arms are tight around that lucky guy

And it's so like Candy

And in her eyes a certain look

I thought I'd seen the last of long ago

And it's so like Candy

So like Candy

Chorus

I remember the day that picture was taken

We were so happy then

But that's so like Candy

She seemed so sweet to me I was mistaken

Oh no not that again

But that's so like Candy

She just can't face the day

So she turns and melts away

Here lie the records that she scratched

And on the sleeve I find a note attached

And it's so like Candy

My Darling Dear it's such a waste

She couldn't say goodbye, but I admire your taste

And it's so like Candy

So like Candy
