Can I take you back, I take you back
Can I take you back, I take you back girl
To the candy store, oh yeah
Can I take you back, I take you back
Can I take you back, I take you back girl
To the candy store, candy store

I took a trip to where we used to live
A girl, that name and asking
As the door, had a sign
That said she don't live here no more
Went to the neighbors asked because
You're the only one for me
Love's the only thing in life that will free
Now all I have left is just a memory

I remember when you were young
Back in the days
And the only thing that's better than life
Was the candy store, down on the corner
All the kids in the neighborhood
Would get money from the parents if they were good
And we were good, we would
All gather around the candy store
Down on the corner

That's when I first saw you girl, yeah, yeah, yeah
Looking so sweet, I said
How do you do, at the candy store
Down on the corner
You were my girlfriend, I was your boyfriend
I met you, at the candy store
I remember when you were young

Back in the days
And the only thing that's better than life
Was the candy store, down on the corner
All the kids in the neighborhood
Would get money from the parents if they were good
And we were good, we would
All gather around the candy store
Down on the corner

In the back, moved top, the games
Holler at the shawty, bottoms with tops
To the back, have a girlfriend
Carved her name on a tree
Now all I have left is just a memory
Miss mary mac, mac, mac, all dressed in black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons, all down her back
She asked her mother, mother, mother for 15 cents
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants
Jump over the fence, fence, fence

I remember when you were young
Back in the days
And the only thing that's better than life
Was the candy store, down on the corner
All the kids in the neighborhood
Would get money from the parents if they were good
And we were good, we would all
Gather around the candy store
Down on the corner
