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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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 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
|
|
