HERE LIES THE POWDER AND PERFUME,
|
THE PRETTY CLOTHES ARE SCATTERED 'ROUND THE ROOM.
|
AND IT'S SO LIKE CANDY.
|
|
HERE LIES THE LIPSTICK AND THE FACE,
|
THE COLOURED TABLETS KEEP IT ALL IN PLACE.
|
AND IT'S SO LIKE CANDY.
|
SO LIKE CANDY.
|
|
WHAT DID I DO TO MAKE HER GO,
|
WHY MUST SHE BE THE ONE THAT I HAVE TO LOVE
|
SO LIKE CANDY?
|
|
HERE LIES A PICTURE OF A GIRL
|
HER ARMS ARE TIGHT AROUND THAT LUCKY GUY.
|
AND IT'S SO LIKE CANDY.
|
|
AND IN HER EYES, A CERTAIN LOOK
|
I THOUGHT I'D SEEN THE LAST OF LONG AGO.
|
AND IT'S SO LIKE CANDY,
|
SO LIKE CANDY.
|
|
WHAT DID I DO TO MAKE HER GO,
|
WHY MUST SHE BE THE ONE THAT I HAVE TO LOVE SO...
|
|
I REMEMBER THE DAY THAT PICTURE WAS TAKEN,
|
WE WERE SO HAPPY THEN,
|
BUT THAT'S SO LIKE CANDY.
|
SHE SEEMED SO SWEET TO ME, I WAS MISTAKEN,
|
OH NO, NOT THAT AGAIN,
|
BUT THAT'S SO LIKE CANDY.
|
SHE JUST CAN'T FACE THE DAY
|
SO SHE TURNS AND MELTS AWAY.
|
|
HERE LIE THE RECORDS THAT SHE'S SCRATCHED,
|
AND ON THE SLEEVE I FIND A NOTE ATTACHED,
|
AND IT'S SO LIKE CANDY.
|
|
"MY DARLING DEAR, IT'S SUCH A WASTE."
|
SHE COULDN'T SAY "GOODBYE", BUT "I ADMIRE YOUR TASTE."
|
AND IT'S SO LIKE CANDY,
|
SO LIKE CANDY,
|
SO LIKE CANDY,
|
SO LIKE CANDY,
|
SO LIKE CANDY, OH, OH, OH, OH,
|
OH, OH, OH, OH, OH,
|
MM-MM-MM-MM, YEAH, YEAH,
|
OH, OH, OH, OH,
|
UH, UH, UH -
|
|
OH YEAH.
