[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]

[Outro: Bell/Tresvant]

candy gir
you are my world
look so sweet
you´re a special trea
(you´ll be my candy girl forever)
candy girl
all I want to say
(word is bond sweetheart)
I need your love
(I swear I´m down for whatever)
candy girl
(sometimes you gotta go back home)
look so sweet
(I love you)
candy girl
