Candy
Copperpot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting in class, end of the day, see your eyes, they start looking my way.
I don't know what to say.
In the halls you're having a ball.
With your friends you don't seem to notice me at all.
Why don't you call?
You're so sweet, like candy.
Baby, I know what you want and you know that I've got what you need,
You're my candy.
In my room, feeling blue, I knew you'd leave me but I didn't think it would be so soon.
So, why so soon?




Don't ever let me go.
I'm on my way home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Copperpot's song Candy seem to speak to the common experience of unrequited love or infatuation. The first verse describes a scenario that is all too familiar to many: being in class, noticing someone you're attracted to looking your way, but feeling too shy or uncertain to do anything about it. The second verse moves on to a different setting, with the singer feeling lonely and longing for the object of their affection who has already left them. The chorus ties these two scenarios together, with the singer likening their crush to candy - something sweet and appealing that you just can't resist.


There's a sense of wistfulness and sadness that runs through the song, particularly in that second verse. The lines "I knew you'd leave me but I didn't think it would be so soon / So, why so soon?" convey a feeling of disappointment and hurt. Despite this, there's also a sense of hopefulness as the singer heads home, perhaps with the thought that things could still work out. Overall, Candy captures the feeling of being young and in love (or infatuation) - feeling overwhelmed with emotion but not quite sure how to express it.
