Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mm, mm
Damn its like there she was (she's so)
This sweet lady (lady)
Man, she was lookin' so tight
That it drove me crazy (insane)
Tryin' to make this lady (ooh)
Oh how I wish that I wasn't so shy
It wasn't that I, I never had experience in
In chasing ladies (oh no)
Oh did I miss my chance
Hell I must be crazy
If I ever get the chance (the chance)
The chance to see her again
That's when I'll tell her that I need her so
She was my favorite girl
She was sweet as candy (sweet as candy)
And I gotta tell her that I wanna make her my baby (my baby)
And if we get the chance (the chance)
The chance to meet, yeah
That's when I'll tell her
That I need her so
Now I'm back on the block
In my new Jaguar
Trying to find this lady
Never gonna admit, I won't stop (til I)
Till I find my baby (baby)
Back down the alley way
I'm going crazy (yeah)
If it ever crossed my mind
That I wouldn't find this lady
Reality (ooh)
My mind's playin' tricks on me (yeah)
How could this be (that she)
She could have this effect on me
Right before my very eyes (there she was)
That's where I found her
And then I told her
That I need her so
She was my favorite girl
She was sweet as candy (sweet as candy)
And I gotta tell her that I wanna make her my baby (my baby)

The song "Favorite Girl" by O-Town is about a man who is attracted to a beautiful woman but lacks the confidence to approach her. He regrets not being more forward when he had the chance but is now determined to find her and tell her how he feels. The lyrics express the singer's regret and hope for a second chance with this woman whom he regards as his "favorite girl." The imagery of candy is used to describe her sweetness and desirability.
The song also contains a message for other men who may be in a similar situation. The singer advises them not to wait too long to express their feelings, lest they lose the opportunity to be with the person they want. The song encourages taking risks and being honest about one's feelings.
