Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living your lie and look back
No-ohh
Baby ain't no need to beg for it
All of us is in the past
Cause there's nothing left of your sugar, sugar, sugar
I ain't putting up with it, with it, with it, no
I don't wanna live in regret
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it
You don't have to call me
Don't do it, don't do it
Your love is like bitter candy
Imma throw it away
I don't need a sugar daddy
Cause i don't like the taste
I've been on this thing too long
No, no, I ain't holding on
Bitter candy, imma, imma
Imma throw it away, eh eh
Hey eh eh eh
Eh eh eh
Hey eh eh
Imma throw it away, eh eh
Hey eh eh eh
Oh baby let me tell you what i know
I don't have to sugar coat no more
Cause there's nothing left of your flavor
No sweet goodbyes, see you later
Ooh
So go and leave me alone
No-ohh
You don't have to love me
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it
You don't have to call me
Don't do it, don't do it
Your love is like bitter candy
Imma throw it away
I don't need a sugar daddy
Cause i don't like the taste
I've been on this thing too long
No, no, I ain't holding on
Bitter candy, imma, imma
Imma throw it away, eh eh
Hey eh eh eh
Eh eh eh
Hey eh eh
Imma throw it away, eh eh
Hey eh eh eh
Now tell me what you gonna do
Now that i'm leaving you, huh
All I wanted was the good in you
But imma spit you out, I'm through
Huh
Don't, don't, ooh, don't
You don't have to, you don't have to
Don't, don't, ooh, don't
You don't have to
Your love is like bitter candy
Imma throw it away
I don't need a sugar daddy
Cause i don't like the taste
I've been on this thing too long
No, no, I ain't holding on
Bitter candy, imma, imma
Imma throw it away, eh eh
Hey eh eh eh
