A letra:
In
Candy's room, there are pictures of her heroes on the wall
But to
get to Candy's room, you gotta walk the darkness of Candy's
hall
Strangers from the city call my baby's number and they bring
her toys
When I come knocking, she smiles pretty, she knows I
wanna be Candy's boy
There's a sadness hidden in that pretty
face
A sadness all her own from which no man can keep Candy safe
We kiss, my heart rushes through my
brain
And the blood rushes in my veins
The fire rushes towards
the sky
And we go driving, driving deep into the night
I go
driving deep into the light in Candy's eyes
She says, "Baby if you wanna be
wild
You got a lot to learn, close your eyes
Let them melt, let
them fire, let them burn"
'Cause in the darkness, there'll be
hidden worlds that shine
When I hold Candy close, she makes those
hidden worlds mine
She has fancy clothes and diamond
rings
She has men who give her anything she wants
But they
don't see
That what she wants is me
Oh, and I want her so
I'll never let
her go, no-no-no
She knows that I'd give
All that I've got to
give
All that I want, all that I live
To make Candy
mine
Tonight
