Candy Store
Jessica Keenan Wynn Alice Lee Elle McLemore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are we gonna have a problem?
You got a bone to pick?
You've come so far why now are you pulling on my dick?
I'd normally slap your face off
And everyone here could watch
But I'm feeling nice
Here's some advice
Listen up beeyotch

I like
Lookin' hot
Buying stuff
They can not

I like
Drinking hard
Maxing dad's credit card

I like
Skippin' gym
Scarin' her
Screwin' him

I like
Killer clothes
Kickin' nerds in the nose

If you lack the balls
You can go play dolls
Let your mommy fix you a snack (whoa)

Or you could come smoke
Pound some rum and coke
In my Porsche with the quarterback (whoa, whoa, whoa)

Honey what you waitin' for?
Welcome to my candy store
Time for you to prove you're not a loser
Anymore
And step into my candy store

Guys fall
At your feet
Pay the check
Help you cheat

All you
Have to do
Say goodbye
To Shamu

That freak's
Not your friend
I can tell
In the end

If she
Had your shot
She would leave
You to rot

Course if you don't care
Fine, go braid her hair
Maybe Sesame Street is on (whoa)

Or forget that creep
And get in my jeep
Let's go tear up
Someone's lawn (whoa, whoa, whoa)

Honey what you waitin' for?
Welcome to my candy store
You just gotta prove
You're not a pussy
Anymore
And step into my candy store

You can join the team
Or you can bitch and moan
You can live the dream
Or you can die alone
You can fly with eagles
Or if you prefer
Keep on testing me
And end up like her

Veronica, look!
Ram invited me to his homecoming party!
This proves he's been thinking about me!
Color me stoked
I'm so happy!

Honey what you waitin' for?
Shut up, Heather!
Step into my candy store
Time for you to prove
You're not a lameass
Anymore
And step into my candy store
It's my candy store
It's my candy
It's my candy store
It's my candy




It's my candy store
It's my candy store

Overall Meaning

The song "Candy Store" is part of the musical "Heathers," and the lyrics speak to the themes of power, popularity, and rebellion. The song is sung by the popular clique of high school girls, Heather Chandler, Heather Duke, and Heather McNamara, as they try to recruit Veronica, a less popular girl, into their group. The lyrics can be seen as a twisted manifesto of sorts, with the Heathers espousing their belief in materialism, hedonism, and social dominance as the keys to happiness and success.


The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the Heathers challenging Veronica's motives and questioning her worthiness to join their clique. The line "you've come so far, why now are you pulling on my dick?" suggests that Veronica is trying to assert herself in a way that the Heathers don't appreciate. However, they surprisingly offer some advice rather than just becoming hostile towards her. The rest of the song features the Heathers extolling the virtues of their lifestyle, which centers around looking good, having fun, and manipulating others for their own gain.


The chorus serves as an invitation to Veronica to join their ranks, framing it as an opportunity for her to shed her loser status and become powerful like them. The bridge features a brief interlude where Veronica expresses her excitement about being invited to a party by one of the popular boys, Ram. However, Heather interrupts her to remind her of their mission to make Veronica more like them, not the other way around.


Overall, "Candy Store" is a catchy, upbeat song that belies the dark themes at its core. It presents a skewed view of what it means to be successful in high school, with the Heathers advocating for a life of shallow pleasures and ruthless manipulation. In the context of the show, this is meant to be seen as a negative thing, and the eventual downfall of the Heathers is meant to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of striving for popularity at any cost.

@Totallystylish28

Alice looks so offended when she gets told to shut up xD

@jackhatson2860

Mel L acting maybe

@ksdomryibru1032

Mel L they tend to act when they do a recording. It comes natural to them seeing that what they did every time they sang those songs. If that makes sense

@lukasryan4518

HAHAH! Were making shirts that say "SHUT UP HEATHER" for the show lmao!

@mariannem2594
