LYRICS:
play intro
Hey little jail bait tell me your story
Let me bum a smoke and we can chat a while
I want to see you talk straight so let me hear your story
Before you get off and make your change
play 2nd line of intro
PRE-CHORUS
D E A F#
You see lately I've found that there's hell going 'round
Dsus2 E A
And honey you've given one big chase to my strain
CHORUS
G Dsus2 A
Talkin bout a woman who's lost a lot of days in this life
G Dsus2 A
Talkin bout a woman who just can't say no
G Dsus2 A
She needs another lover like she needs another dose in her blood
G Dsus2 A F#m6 Dsus2 E
Talkin bout a woman who's name is Candy
A F#m6 Dsus2 E
She's so fine
A F#m6 Dsus2 E
She's waiting on a back street line
A F#m6 Dsus2 A* A/G# A7/G
Like a lost angel not long for this world
Don't usually get emotional don't usually show my veins she said
Only when I sing or when I'm making tracks
Sweatin's just a mean way to show me where I am
And to tell me where I need to be
PRE-CHORUS
And through those eyes if she wore her disguise
I'd see through it and say come in from the rain girl the rain girl
CHORUS
Talkin bout a woman she loves me like a dog loves a bone
Talkin about a woman who just can't let go
I need her as my lover like I need another hole in my head
I'm talkin about a woman I know Candy
She's so fine
But she's shaking on that back street line
A F#m6 Dsus2 A* A/G# A7/G
Like a loose cannon ashamed to explode
A* A/G# A7/G A(V)
CHORUS
ad-lib vocals
G Dsus2 A
G Dsus2 A
G Dsus2 A* A/G# A7/G
When will I learn to let you go
A* A/G# A7/G
You're my Candy
A* A/G# A7/G A(V)
You're my lost angel not long for this world
