Rock Candy
Sammy Hagar · Hallelujah [2003]
When you need a friend through thick and thin
Don't look to those above you
When you're down and out
Ain't no doubt, nobody wants you
But you're rock candy baby
You're hard, sweet and sticky, yes
And you're rock candy baby
Hard, sweet and sticky, oh yes
Hard, sweet and, oh yeah
When you're seventeen reachin' for your dreams
But don't let no one reach it for you
Pull up your pants, stretch out, take a chance
If it can be done, well you can do it
'Cause you're rock candy baby
You're hard, sweet and sticky, yes you are
But you're rock candy baby
So, hard, sweet and sticky, yes, oh
Sweety, sexy
You're rock candy baby
Hard, sweet and sticky, yes
You, you're rock candy baby
Hard, sweet and sticky, yeah
You're hard, sweet
You're rock candy baby
Hard, sweet, you're so
You're rock candy baby, oh yeah
Hard, sweet and sticky, yes
