[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
