well i've been saving up the bags of candy and sweets
trying to replicate the taste you left on my teeth
but i know, it won't do
i'll miss your chocolate covered eyes and your licorice lips
the way you take me by surprise with your treats and your tricks
so slow down, you know how
you fill my pillowcase - the taste of sugary sweet
you make my mouth ache and you're so bad for me
but i love you, i can't get enough of you
you're c-c-c-c-c-candy baby
now you've been feeling like a ghost for far too long
you're always haunting my apartment and the lines of these songs
but i know, it's not you
now i'm a zombie with a sweet tooth, head over heels
i want your brain, want your body, make you feel like a meal
cuz you are, i want you
now i've said it once before and i'll say it again:
you were the only lie i needed in this land of pretend
you're so sweet, so fake sweet
c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-candy bb
you're a full bar, shot of coffee
nothing short of something spooky
you're in my brains
you're a witch dear, nothing new here
i'm a black cat, i am bad news
that just wants to be near you
i just wanna be near you
