Oh candy why did you do it
You should’ve called me on the telephone
I didn’t expect for you call me
’cause i didn’t think that you were alone
So alone
Oh, candy worked so hard
At doin’ what he thought was right
It really really doesn’t mean a thing
Oh, candy worked so hard
At doin’ what he thought was right
It really really doesn’t mean a thing
Oh candy why did you do it
You didn’t stick a needle in your vein
You just got so damned depressed
We all liked you except yourself
Oh, candy worked so hard
At doin’ what he thought was right
It really really doesn’t mean a thing
Oh, candy worked so hard
At doin’ what he thought was right
It really really doesn’t mean a thing
You, you won’t be comin’ around no more
You, you won’t be comin’ around no more
Oh candy why did you do it
I didn’t think you heard a word that i said
