Candy Store

(album: Til The Morning - 2011)

Can I take you back, take you back
Can I take you back, take you back girl
To the candy store, candy store, whoa
Can I take you back, take you back baby
Can I take you back, take you back girl
To the candy store, candy store whoa

I took a trip to where we used to live
The tree was still there we carved our names in as kids
[?] had a sign that said she don't live here no more
Went to the neighbors asked because [?]
You're the only one for me
Love's the only thing in life that is free
Now all I have left is just a memory

[Chorus:]
I remember when you were young,
Back in the days of bubble gum
And the only thing that mattered in life
Was the candy store, down on the corner
All the kids in the neighborhood,
Would get money from the parents if they were good
And we were good, we would all gather around at the candy store
Down on the corner

That's when I first saw you girl, yeah, yeah, yeah
Looking so sweet, I said, how do you do, at the candy store
Down on the corner
You were my girlfriend, I was your boyfriend [?]
I met you, at the candy store

[Chorus]

[?] in the back, sunroof top, TV in the seat with the gangster lean
Holler at the shawty, with the afro puff
Light blue halter top with bell bottoms with tops
Hat to the back, tube socks to the knee
Me and my girlfriend, carved her name in the tree
We often fantasized about a life with me
Now all I have left is just a memory

Miss Mary Mac, Mac, Mac, all dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons, all down her back, back, back
She asked her mother, mother, mother for fifteen cents, cents, cents
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants,
Jump over the fence, fence, fence

[Chorus x2]

If you remember the candy store
Everybody clap your hands
If you remember the candy store and how it used to be
Just clap your hands
If you remember the candy store
And how it made you feel good
Close your eyes
If you remember the candy store
And wanna go back lemnme hear you say yeah
