I Want Candy
Good Charlotte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know a girl who's tough but sweet
She's so fine, she cant be beat
Got everything that I desire
She sets my summer sun on fire

I want candy, I want candy
I want candy, I want candy
Go to see her when the sun goes down,
There aint no finer girl in town.
You're my girl, your what the doctor ordered
I think your so sweet, you make my mouth water

I want candy, I want candy
I want candy, I want candy

I want candy, I want candy

Candy on the beach there's nothing better
But I like candy when she's rapped in leather
Some day soon I'll make her mine
And then I'll have candy all the time





I want candy, I want candy
I want candy, I want candy

Overall Meaning

The song "I Want Candy" by Good Charlotte is a cover of the classic hit originally performed by the Strangeloves in 1965. The lyrics of the song describe the singer's infatuation with a girl who he describes as tough but sweet, and how she sets his "summer sun on fire". He wants candy, not the literal sweet, but rather the girl he's singing about.


The lyrics go on to describe how he wants to see her when the sun goes down, because there isn't a finer girl in town. He describes her as everything he desires, and that she's the girl that the doctor ordered. He adds that she's so sweet that she makes his mouth water.


In the last verse, he declares that candy is the best thing when it's on the beach, but he likes it better when she's wrapped in leather. He sings about how he'll make her his someday, and "then I'll have candy all the time". The lyrics are simple and catchy, depicting a playful and innocent infatuation.
