Well I'm keeping off the streets since you came to town   Since you claimed my heart from the lost and found   I have said goodbye to my fooling around   Now you and me babe we got candy by the pound   You and me babe we got candy by the pound      Well I never knew it could feel so good   Be the king of the hill in my neighbourhood   Rain on my roof what a sweet sound   Oh with you underneath it's like candy by the pound   With you underneath it's like candy by the pound      You can tell everybody that this girl of mine   Is sweeter than the grapes hanging from the vine   Love like wine honey drinking till I drown   Keep it coming baby like candy by the pound      Oh no what's come over me   If I am dreaming then let me sleep   Oh wow I'm heaven bound   Love is getting sweeter than candy by the pound      Now I'm ducking in the alley of common sense   Hiding from the claws of my old girl friend   She's screaming murder beating my door down   While I'm right behind it I'm eating candy by the pound   I'm right behind it eating I'm candy by the pound
