I left home when i was only seventeen

Met a guy, he and i

Drove down to new orleans

He seemed to know his way around

And i thought i could last

The sweet-talkin', oh,

C-c-c-candyman



Warmed his bed

Kept him fed

And oh i loved him so

Thought i had to cry alot

Whenever he would go

I guess i was just too young

To really understand

A sweet-talkin' ooooooh,

C-c-c-candyman!!!



Sweet talking candyman

My sweet talking

Sweet talking candyman

I hear you talking!



He played around

And brought me down

And finally threw me out

I got burned

But I learned

What life was all about

And i often think of him

Every now and then

A sweet-talkin', ooooooh,

C-c-c-candyman



Sweet talking candyman

My sweet talking

Sweet talking candyman

I hear you talking ...
