I Want Candy
BERLIN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night is young
For love
Wish it went on
And on and on
Don’t need tomorrow
Don’t need a ring or vows
The night is young
For us

What if I could love you like a man
What if I could just let go and dance
What if we could walk away
just friends
No more plans or demands
Just
I want you

I used to worry
All ni-ni-night
Oh will he love
Me ri-i-i-ight
Needed tomorrows
Needed a ring and vows
I used to worry
All ni-ni-night

What if I could love you like a man
What if I could just let go and dance
What if we could walk away
just friends
No more plans or demands
Just
I want you

Gave my tomorrows
Gave my ring and vows




The right is wrong
For us
