[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
