I WANT CANDY
Candy Girls Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know a boy who's tough but sweet
He is so fine he can't be beat
Got everything that I desire
Sets my summer sun on fire

I want candy [Repeat: x6]

Got to see him when the sun goes down

Ain't no finer boy in town
Your boy that the doctor ordered
Your so sweet you make my mouth water

Candy on the beach there's nothing better
But I like candy wrapped in a sweater
Some day soon I'll make you mine
And I like candy all the time

I want candy [Repeat: x16]

Line by Line Meaning

I know a boy who's tough but sweet
I am aware of a male individual who is both resilient and gentle

He is so fine he can't be beat
He is exquisite to behold, without equal

Got everything that I desire
Possesses every object or attribute that I yearn for

Sets my summer sun on fire
Ignites the warmth and joy of summer within me

I want candy [Repeat: x6]
I crave confectionary treats repeatedly

Got to see him when the sun goes down
Must catch a glimpse of him at sundown

Ain't no finer boy in town
There is no superior boy nearby

Your boy that the doctor ordered
You are exactly what I need, like prescribed medicine

Your so sweet you make my mouth water
You are very sugary, causing me to salivate

Candy on the beach there's nothing better
There is nothing superior to having candy on the beach

But I like candy wrapped in a sweater
I prefer confectionary treats concealed in a sweater

Some day soon I'll make you mine
Soon, I shall take possession of you

And I like candy all the time
I enjoy confectionary treats regularly

I want candy [Repeat: x16]
I crave confectionary treats repeatedly

I love this version so much! Totally ingenious! I love the mix up of the sythesizer piano - funky and trancy!
