Smell Me Candy
Rihanna · Other Songs - Rihanna
I know you're around like the ice cream man
I can hear you calling, whisper something in my ear
You seem lik sugar, tell me what I wanna hear
I'm weak by your touch and when it's melting on my lips
I run through my body when you lick my fingertips
You're selling me a fantasy that I want to explore
It sounds so good it's got me rockin? through the core
[Bridge]
Talk to me
Take care of my dreams
All I need
Is you beside me
It's destiny
Just let it be
If words can speak
Then baby tell it to me
[Chorus]
Sell me candy, Sell me love, Sell me hope, Sell me doves
What's the charge? What's the cost?
(I'm the daddy)? you the boss.
[Verse 2]
You could be a professional, boy you make a sale
I try to resist but every time I fail
he one temptation that I gotta endure
The running through my body now you're knocking at my door
A thin little kiss and your call is really sweet
But the shawty that you're rockin is nothing like me
You're selling me a fantasy that I want to explore
It sounds so good it's got me rockin through the core (you know?)
[Bridge]
Talk to me
Take care of my dreams
All I need
Is you beside me
It's destiny
Just let it be
If words can speak
Then baby tell it to me
[Chorus]
Sell me candy, Sell me love, Sell me hope, Sell me doves
What's the charge? What's the cost?
[I'm the daddy]? you the boss.
[Verse 3]
I wanna play? more than you know
So don't you leave? and don't you go
I want it all? until time falls
His arms? I want to roam
I want to love? give him my trust
I want to live? for both of us
I want to breathe you? lay on your shoulder
I want to warm you? when nights get colder
I want love? love? love
I want love? love? love
[Bridge]
Talk to me
Take care of my dreams
All I need
Is you beside me
It's destiny
Just let it be
If words can speak
Then baby tell it to me
[Chorus]
Sell me candy, Sell me love, Sell me hope, Sell me doves
What's the charge? What's the cost?
(I'm the daddy)? you the boss.
Smell Me Candy
Released in 2012, "Smell Me Candy" stands as a vibrant track from Rihanna's "Unapologetic" era, blending pop sensibilities with a distinct electro-funk groove. The song features a catchy, repetitive hook that became a staple of her discography during this period, showcasing her ability to merge R&B textures with danceable rhythms. Produced with a focus on high-energy production, the recording reflects the confident, self-assured tone characteristic of her work on "Unapologetic." While not a chart-topping single in the same vein as "Diamonds," the track remains a notable example of her mid-career output, contributing to her status as a defining voice in contemporary pop music. Its enduring presence in her catalog highlights her consistent ability to craft memorable, rhythm-driven songs that resonate with audiences worldwide.
