Candy
Jackson Browne · Lives in the Balance [1986]
Candy
Daughter of a man she barely knows
Candy
All grown up about the things
People know to do
How to take a love and tear it in two
No no no that isn't how it's gonna be
For Candy
She wants to be in love
But she doesn't know why
Candy
You think she's a child
Look at her now
My my Candy
Step by step this is her debut
Looking for love that's made to stay true
Step by step she' looking for more than I see
Candy
Candy
You know what your love is worth
It's a good thing baby
Candy
If you're looking for a real love
It's a ghost town
Candy
Step by step this is her debut
Looking for love that's made to stay true
Step by step she' looking for more than I see
