Yeah, hm (sing)
It's like candy
I can feel it when you walk
Even when you talk it takes over me
You're so dandy
And what I wanna know, can you feel it too?
Just like I do? (Just like I do, hoo)
This stuff is starting now (baby)
It's the same feeling
I always seem to get around you
There's no mistaking, I'm clearly taken
By the simple mere thought of you (oh, baby)
This stuff is starting now (this stuff is starting now)
This stuff is starting now (oh)
This stuff is starting now (hoo)
My eyes roll in my head
I toss and turn in my bed
In the morning when I think about you
And yes, I do
Simply put, you're the reason why
Even though I'm real shy (real shy)
(I) I attempt to look my best for you
Indeed, I do (just for you, baby)
'Cause you affect me, fascinate me
I thank heaven for the things that you
Do (for the things that you do)
It's like candy (candy), oh
You sure are sweet, sweet (sweet)
You're so dandy (dandy)
And you're taking my appetite, but it's all right
Ooh, yeah, you (c'mon)
Ooh, yeah, you
It's like candy (candy)
(Ooh, vanilla, oh, chocolate)
You look real nice (real nice), wrapped up tight
You're so dandy (dandy)
Giving me a heart attack
It's the kind I like (ooh)
Everbody sing
Say, candy-oh (candy-oh)
Candy-oh (candy-oh)
Candy-oh (candy-oh)
Candy-oh (candy-oh)
Say, hurt me, hurt me (hurt me, hurt me)
Hurt me, hurt me (hurt me, hurt me)
It's like candy (candy)
You're so dandy (dandy, oh)
What you do? (What you do to me, baby, ooh)
You're like a brand new feeling (feeling)
In a special way
A surprise package on a bright clear sunny day
You're so dandy (dandy)
And wrapped up tight
So good, so good (yeah)
Strawberry (strawberry), raspberry (raspberry)
All those good things
Violets and gumdrops
That's what you're seem to me, me (me, oh)
Sweet candy, candy
It's like candy (candy)
Sure seems like good candy to me
Oh, baby, oh, baby (oh)
You're so dandy
Just keep doing what you do, oh, baby
Ooh, for me, yeah

About this song
Cameo is an American funk and R&B group known for horn-driven hits in the 1970s and synth-funk pop breakthrough in the mid-1980s, especially “Word Up!” and “Candy.” Formed in New York by Larry Blackmon, they later relocated to Atlanta and released chart-topping material through their Atlanta Artists label.
