Candy

It's a rainy afternoon in 1990
the big city geez it been 20 years
candy you were so fine
beautiful beautiful
girl from the north
you burned 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
Kate:
yeah, well it hurt me real bad
when you left
i'm glad you got out
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 a love
not games
not games
Chorus x2
Chorus to fade
