It's like candy I can feel it when you walk Even when you talk it takes over me You're so dandy I want to know Can you feel it too just like I do (Hoo!) This stuff is starting now It's the same feeling I always seem to get around you There's no mistaking, I'm clearly taken By the simple mere thought of you (Oh!) This stuff is starting now This stuff is starting now This stuff is starting now (Hoo!) My eyes roll in my head I toss and turn in my bed In the morning when I think about you (Yes I do) Simply put, you're the reason why Even though I'm real shy (Real shy) I attempt to look my best for you (Indeed I do, just for you) 'Cause you affect me, fascinate me I thank heaven for the things that you do It's like candy You sure are sweet You're so dandy You're taking my appetite, but it's all right It's like candy (Ooh, vanilla! Chocolate!) You look real nice, wrapped up tight You're so dandy You're giving me a heart attack It's the kind I like It's like candy, you're so dandy You're like a brand new feeling In a special way A surprise package On a bright clear sunny day Strawberry! Raspberry! All those good thangs! Violets and gumdrops That's what you're saying to me (Ow!) #cameo #larryblackmon #candy
