Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Excuse me Miss, can we chat for a second
I'd ask how you doin', but you fine I reckon
Wait, do you have a man, cause I ain't' into home-wreckin
No?. .Aiight cool just checkin
Look, from a hundred yards you caught my eye
An all my boys said I didn't have the heart to say hi
I'd like to have your number you don't have ta give it now
But if you diss me while they lookin I'm a never live it down
why'know what I mean, Aww damn, my name's Will
Maxine. Pleasure to meet you, look here's the deal
Can I sit? Thanks, now I don't mean to objectify
But this the metaphore that crossed my mind
You sweet, good enough to eat
Make a brother want to TLC--Creep
A brother can't sleep
It's like a kid fallin for you
So here's my own private nickname, I'm a call you

[Chorus:]

Candy (No Doubt, Do you want to bounce?)
It's the same feelin I always feel together but now
Candy
Let's get this started now
Let's get this started now

I ain't gonna lie to you, I remember layin eyes on you
All I thought about was livin life beside you, Boo
All I want to do is be the perfect guy to you
Tell you the truth, it's like (Candy) cause I'm feelin like its callin me
You're tryin ta hold on, but fallin
Seem quite far ta me
I stay strong but it's hard to be
Cause somethin bringin out the dog in me
(It's like Candy) when I'm keepin my zone
Chat on the phone, I lower my tone
Steady plottin on takin ya home
Gettin all inside of your dome, makin you moan
You shoulda known (It's like Candy)
As I'm seein you here, Mommy I know your peepin my stare
And feelin my glare, brother thinkin bout unrollin the bear
Strokin your hair, (Touchin me where?) Yeah there

[Chorus]

I know the deal, I talked to Mary Jane and she said
Your ex-boyfriends Mike and Ike are both Lemonheads
I ain't tryin ta player hate girl
I know That you go with Bazooka Joe
Now you know he don't love you like that
He tryin ta get a Reeses piece of the Kit-Kat
Really hun, what he need is a jawbreaker
Cause I'm the one that'll love you baby Now and Later
Be my Peppermint Paddy with a Hundred wishes
An I'll be your Hershey daddy with a hundred kisses
Get the Twins M&M's, they booked us outta flight today
Me an you can Starburst to the Milky Way
I don't care what it cost, girl a Hundred Grand
We could snicker all night at my Jolly Ranch
Just me and you, or call your friends up too
Cause I could get my boys Babe Ruth and Charlston Chew





[Chorus 5x]

I think if you want to use someone else
hard work at least let them know hit them
off with a couple of thousands dollars
specially if your making millions like mc
hammer did after all it is their work and if
it wasn't for their hard work where would
you be still struggle for a hit you can't get
angry because they want reperation for
their work

Will Smith goes to show that you can't sample Cameo's "Candy" without adding Larry Blackmon on it.
Cool song.

Marlanda Spectrum

Now this is what I'm talking bout! some of that old school funk! with a new twist. See that's how you suppose to do it, pay a little respect to the old school players (Cameo) don't just rip off some of the old school jams and call it yours, maybe some of you young cat's don't have a clue but us old players do there are so many artist today that are jacking other peoples beats, bass line and ripping off melodies! what ever happen to create your own shit! and some artist have the nerve to get pissed off when they don't win shit at the Grammy's Wow! I wonder why?
