Lyrics
Some say that love is sweet as a rose
Some say it’s honey and the bee
Well, sit right down and let me tell you
What my love is to me
Chorus
“Candy,” I call my sugar “Candy”
Because I’m sweet on “Candy”
and “Candy’s” sweet on me
She understands me, my understanding “Candy”
And “Candy’s” always handy
When I need sympathy
I wish that there were four of her
So I could love much more of her
She has taken my complete heart
Got a sweet tooth for my sweetheart
“Candy” it’s gonna be just dandy
The day I take my “Candy”
And make her mine all mine
