Candy Store

Keith Sweat · Til The Morning [2011]

Can I take you back, I take you back

Can I take you back, I take you back girl

To the candy store, oh yeah

Can I take you back, I take you back

Can I take you back, I take you back girl

To the candy store, candy store



I took a trip to where we used to live

, a girl, that name and asking

, as the door, 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 will free

Now all I have left is just a memory



I remember when you were young,

Back in the days ,

And the only thing that's better than 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 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



I remember when you were young,

Back in the days ,

And the only thing that's better than 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 the candy store

Down on the corner



, in the back, moved top,the games,

Holler at the Shawty, , bottoms with tops

, to the back, have a girlfriend, carved her name on a tree

Now all I have left is just a memory



Miss Mary Mac, Mac, Mac, all dressed in black

With silver buttons, buttons, buttons, all down her back

She asked her mother, mother, mother for 15 cents

To see the elephants, elephants, elephants,

Jump over the fence, fence, fence



I remember when you were young,

Back in the days ,

And the only thing that's better than 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 the candy store

Down on the corner.
