Sweet Talkin' Candyman

I left home when I was only 17

Met a guy, he and I drove down to New Orleans

He seemed to know his way around and I thought I could land

A sweet-talkin', oh, C-C-C-Candyman

Warmed his bed, kept him fed

And oh, I loved him so

But I got to cry a lot whenever he would go

I guess I was just too young to really understand

A sweet-talkin', oh, C-C-C-Candyman

(Sweet-talkin' Candyman) Oh, sweet-talkin'

(Sweet-talkin' Candyman) Ooh, I hear ya talkin'

He played around and brought me down and finally threw me out

I got burned, but I learned what love was all about

But I often think of him, every now and then

That sweet-talkin', oh, Candyman

(Sweet-talkin' Candyman) Ha, sweet, sweet-talkin'

(Sweet-talkin' Candyman) Ooh, sweet-talkin'

(Sweet-talkin' Candyman) Sweet, sweet-talkin' Candyman
