lyrics

I Can’t let Candy go

Candy, oh Candy
There’s things about me you don’t know
Candy, oh Candy
I think I gotta let you go
That’s what I practice in the mirror everyday
If I could only ever find the nerve to say

Candy, oh Candy
I only want what’s best for you
Candy, oh Candy
Don’t need more time to think it through
But if I told her it would only make her cry
Each time we kiss
I should be kissing her goodbye

I can’t let Candy go
No I can’t let Candy go
I lost the feeling and it’s starting to show
But I just can’t let her go

Someday, no Monday
I’m finally gonna do what’s right
I’d like to cut her loose on Thursday
But I need a date for Friday night

Don’t bother telling me cause I know that it’s wrong
But I can’t help it I just keep her hanging on

I can’t let Candy go
No I can’t let Candy go
My nerve is shrinking when I need it to grow
And I just can’t let her go

Well I know I should set her free
Cause she don’t mean the world to me
But I wouldn’t want to break her heart
And without her I will

But then sweet Candy comes and looks me in the eye
She says “I’m sorry but I found a better guy”

And I can’t let Candy go
No I can’t let Candy go
She doesn’t want to waste her time anymore
But I just can’t let her go
I can’t let Candy go
