Candy
Robbie Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Candice's inner business
She wants the boys to notice
Her rainbows, and her ponies
She was educated
But could not count to ten
How she got lots of different horses
By lots of different men
And I say
Liberate your sons and daughters
The bush is high
But in the hole there's water
You can get some, when they give it
Nothing sacred, but it's a living
Hey ho here she goes
Either a little too high or a little too low
Got no self-esteem and vertigo
'Cause she thinks she's made of candy
Hey ho here she goes
Either a little too loud or a little too close
There's a hurricane in the back of her throat
And she thinks she's made of candy
Ring a ring of roses
Whoever gets the closest
She comes and she goes
As the war of the roses
Mother was a victim
Father beat the system
By moving bricks to Brixton
And learning how to fix them
Liberate your sons and daughters
The bush is high
But in the hole there's water
As you win
She'll be the Hollywood love
And if it don't feel good
What are you doing this for
Now tell me
Hey ho here she goes
Either a little too high or a little too low
Got no self-esteem and vertigo
'Cause she thinks she's made of candy
Hey ho here she goes
Either a little too loud or a little too close
There's a hurricane in the back of her throat
And she thinks she's made of candy
Liberate your sons and daughters
The bush is high
But in the hole there's water
As you win
She'll be the Hollywood love
And if you don't feel good
What are you doing it for
What are you doing it for
What are you doing it for
What are you doing it for
What are you doing it for
What are you doing it for
What are you doing it for
What are you doing it for
What are you doing it for
Hey ho here she goes
Either a little too high or a little too low
Got no self-esteem and vertigo
'Cause she thinks she's made of candy
Hey ho here she goes
Either a little too loud or a little too close
There's a hurricane in the back of her throat
And she thinks she's made of candy
Hey ho here she goes
Either a little too high or a little too low
Got no self-esteem and vertigo
'Cause she thinks she's made of candy
Hey ho here she goes
Either a little too loud or a little too close
There's a hurricane in the back of her throat
And she thinks she's made of candy
The theme of the Robbie Williams song "Candy" is about a girl named Candice who is desperate for attention and affection from boys. The lyrics describe her as someone who flaunts her rainbows and ponies in hopes of catching their eye. Although she is educated, she is not good with numbers and has acquired many horses from various men. The chorus encourages parents to free their children and let them live their lives, stating that although things may seem tough now, there is always a way to find water in a dry spot.
The verses go on to describe Candice's background of having a father who was a criminal and a mother who was a victim, and her aspirations of becoming a Hollywood star. The repetitiveness of the chorus reinforces the idea that Candice is stuck in a cycle of constantly seeking validation and attention from others, rather than finding fulfillment within herself. The song ends with a question, asking what people are doing it all for.
Overall, "Candy" serves as a commentary on the modern struggles of young people, particularly women, to find a sense of self-worth and happiness in a world where external validation and materialism are often portrayed as the keys to success.

Hey ho here she goes
Here she comes again
Either a little too high or a little too low
She's unpredictable or unstable
Got no self-esteem and vertigo
She lacks confidence and is dizzy
'Cause she thinks she's made of candy
She believes she's sweet and desirable
There's a hurricane in the back of her throat
Her emotions are overwhelming
Ring a ring of roses
A reference to the children's game 'Ring Around the Rosie'
Whoever gets the closest

Like the historical conflict between two families
Mother was a victim

By moving bricks to Brixton
He succeeded by going to a rough part of town
And learning how to fix them

She'll be the Hollywood love
She'll be a glamorous, desirable love interest
And if it don't feel good
If it doesn't feel right

What are you doing it for
Why are you doing it

'Cause she thinks she's made of candy
She believes she's sweet and desirable

@@Rangersarethebestintheuk2023 Judging the entertainers righteously:
they are:
DECEIVERS
MTFs and FTMs
cowards
masons puppets
greedy
in love of all lies
demon possessed
members of one big club: FREEMASONRY
And they all let us know, by placing the masonic hand signs and symbols into all music videos, movies, concerts, magazines, album covers…..
(As if judging is often unjust by many, so is free speech willed with nonsense , because of the lack of knowledge. 1st go and gain KNOWLEDGE, which you missing and then worry about you being allowed to judge and speak free or not. Take a listen around the world, many are just noise makers, having no knowledge about that they talk about, nobody truly listens them. These 2 verses describe perfectly many human souls situation:
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Job 34:35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.)
