Celtis Carr - Candy Lyrics
Candy & I used to run around, tearing up this one horse town Everyone looked down their nose, the so-called respectable folk Too much was never enough for Candy, skulling pills & popping brandy Snorting everything in sight, shooting up anything that looked white—Candy At the old park by the riverside, we'd dance & play all thru the nite She'd lift her head & laugh out loud, man that girl was awfully proud Then late in May she gave me the flick, called me a worthless son-of-a-***** She talked funny & acted strange, everyone could feel the change—In Candy I'd take you back, we'd settle down, all your friends could still come around Time's short, please say yes, don't tell me about your self-respect—Candy Candy lost her girlish gait, her eyes grew dark & she was losing weight Her hair had thinned & turned to straw, took both hands to hold up her jaw We called the doc, he did some tests, we got the news, it weren't the best Candy just said c'est la vie, it was all the French she learned from me—Candy She carried on like she was made of steel, acted like she couldn't feel Greeted each new day with a smile, the doctor said she's just in denial I got a van at the trailer park, for Candy & me & me broken heart Every day I'd sit by her side, every nite she'd hear me cry—For Candy I'll take you back, we'll settle down, all your friends will still come around Time's short, baby please say yes, don't talk to me about self-respect—Candy Candy died late last May, it was hard watching her waste away But the pride in that woman was strong, she fought so hard just to hold on Now I sit alone in that riverside park, where we used to dance & play in the dark Thinking that we'd live forever, Candy taught me to never say never—Candy
