Candyman
Christina Aguilera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Candy man, candy man
(Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine)
Sweet, sugar, candy man
I met him out for dinner on a Friday night
He really got me working up an appetite
He had tattoos up and down his arm
There's nothing more dangerous than a boy with charm
He's a one stop shop, makes the panties drop
He's a sweet talkin' sugar coated candy man
A sweet talkin' sugar coated candy man
He took me to the Spider club on Hollywood and Vine
We drank champagne, and we danced all night
We shook the paparazzi for a big surprise (a big surprise)
The gossip tonight will be tommorow's headlines
He's a one stop shop, makes my cherry pop
He's a sweet talkin' sugar coated candy man (oh yeah)
A sweet talkin' sugar coated candy man
He's a one stop shop, makes my cherry pop
He's a sweet talkin' sugar coated candy man (oh)
A sweet talkin' sugar coated candy man
Well, by now I'm getting all bothered and hot
When he kissed my mouth, he really hit the spot
He had lips like sugar cane, oh
Good things come for boys who wait
(Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine)
Candy man, candy man
(Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine)
Candy man, candy man
(Sweet, sugar, candy man)
He's a one stop, gotcha hot, makin' all the panties drop
(Sweet, sugar, candy man)
He's a one stop, got me hot, makin' my (uh) pop
(Sweet, sugar, candy man)
He's a one stop, get it while it's hot, baby, don't stop
(Sweet, sugar)
He got those lips like sugar cane
Good things come for boys who wait
He's a one stop shop with a real big (uh)
He's a sweet talkin' sugar coated candy man
(Say what) a sweet talkin' sugar coated candy man
(Say) a sweet talkin' sugar coated candy man, woo
A sweet talkin' sugar coated candy man
Candy man, candy man
Candy man, candy man
Candy man, candy man
(Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine
Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine
Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine
Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine
Jane lost her grip and down she fell
Jane lost her grip and down she fell
Squared herself away as she let out a yell
Squared herself away as she let out a yell)
"Candyman" by Christina Aguilera tells the story of a girl who meets a charming man who is like a "one stop shop" - he can do everything she wants, including making her panties drop. The first verse describes seeing the Candyman with tattoos up and down his arms, and drinking vodka and wine. The chorus repeats the phrase "He's a sweet talkin' sugar coated candy man" and emphasizes that he can make her cherry pop. The second verse involves going to a club with him, shaking the paparazzi, and being surprised by gossip about him. The bridge describes how his kiss is so good that it hits the spot, and has lips like sugar cane. In the end, the song repeats the chorus while also including some ad-libs about Tarzan and Jane swinging on a vine and sipping vodka double wine, as well as Jane falling down and yelling.
The lyrics of the song are very suggestive and sexual, and the Candyman character is obviously meant to be someone who is very attractive and appealing to women. The phrase "one stop shop" implies that he can provide anything a girl might want, while the repeated phrase "sweet talkin' sugar coated candy man" emphasizes his charm and ability to manipulate women. The bridge with the lips like sugar cane creates a very specific image of sensuality. The Tarzan and Jane ad-libs are a bit strange and seemingly unrelated, but they add to the playful and flirtatious atmosphere of the song.

It's kinda fun seeing old 40's swing being incorporated in modern pop
@NZBigfoot
