Verse 1: LL Cool J
When you was seventeen and I was nineteen
we feel deep in love growing up in Queens
we didn`t know a thing about love
we was innocent sneakin` on the doorstep to hug
held you tightly and promised you the world
you gave me hickys and said you was my girl
when I think about it now makes me smile
cause I ain`t felt these butterflies in a while
funny how you grow up and innocence fades
we used to live for love but now we`re afraid (of what?)
of the darkness and bitter memories
lovers who crushed us through infidelity
I promised you I`d love you to the end
always and forever since way back when
you`re like candy the world`s sweetest friend
you taste better now than you did back then
Chorus: Bell/Tresvan
you will always be my candy
one day we will start a family
you will always be my candy girl
(you`ll be my candy girl forever)
you will always be my candy
want your love girl understand me
you will always be my candy girl
Verse 2: LL Cool J
while you sucked caramel apple lolly pops
rain sleet or snow I`m troopin` up the murdock
we used to walk down the block hold hands
I would get you after school cause I was your man
and any guys that wanna socalize
just know that I`m a flip on any cat that trys
my peeps used to say I was whipped
all your girls said since you got with him you flipped
but uh they couldn`t feel the feelings we felt
mirrors on the ceiling we melt
I would look up at ya I remember
the afternoon you surrendered
we made love the tempature was high as could be
you said Todd promise you ain`t liein` to me
and as we went our seperate ways you turned back
smiled I remember all that
Chorus
Verse 3: Bell/Tresvant, LL Cool J
(take it to the bridge)
candy girl
you are my world
look so sweet
you`re a special treat
candy gir
all I want to say
I need your love
each and every day
when I`m alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall
and in the back of my mind I hear my memories call
of days when love was true I slept and held you
taste the brown sugar let your climax melt yo
candy you`re occupying all of my thoughts
turned my soul upside down with lessons you taught
I can feel you even when you`re far away you`re right here wit` me
sweet love strictly
and I`m a bend over backwards to keep you on my side
take you for a mental and emotional ride
make love to your soul your heart and your mind
in your hour of need girl I`ll be there every time
and as long as you support my dreams
stayin` right beside me as a part of my team
I`ll take you where the average man can only dream of
cause in a world so sour I got the sweetest love
Chorus
