Tell me, tell me straight
Why you wanna waste my time?
Why you wanna play
Why you wanna play with my mind?

When I look at you
I see someone I don't wanna be
But every time you come around
You always get the best of me

I'm fighting you with everything I know
But I can never seem to let you go
I'm fighting you with everything I am
Can't get away, get away from the Candy Man

Get away!
The Candy Man
Get away!
The Candy Man
Get away!
The Candy Man

(Get away, get away, get away)

Why do I feel bitter when you always taste so sweet?
(I should've listened to what my Mama said)
Everything that glitters isn't always what it seems
Patience is a virtue
But you know you're runnin' out of time
You know you're guilty, guilty
Guilty of a love crime

I'm fighting you with everything I know
But I can never seem to let you go
I'm fighting you with everything I am
Can't get away, get away from the Candy Man

Get away!
The Candy Man
Get away!
The Candy Man
Get away!
The Candy Man

(Get away, get away, get away)

Woah, oh, oh
I'm fighting everything I know
I just can't seem to let you go
I'm fighting with all that I am
To get away from the Candy Man

Candy, Candy
So sweet (from the Candy Man)
It's takin' over me
I can't take the heat (from the Candy Man)
Candy, Candy
So sweet, so sweet, so sweet! (From the Candy Man)

I'm fighting you with everything I know
But I can never seem to let you go
I'm fighting you with everything I am
Can't get away, get away from the Candy Man

Get away!
The Candy Man
Get away!
The Candy Man
Get away!
The Candy Man
