CANDY MAN

Original Roy Orbison version



Come on baby, let me take you by the hand
Come on sugar, let me take you by the hand
Go for me, let me be
All your own candy, your candy, candy man

Come on baby, I love your honey loving ways (candy man, candy man, candy man)
Baby sweet thing, I love your honey loving, your honey loving ways (candy man, candy man, candy man, candy man)
Come to me, let me be (ahhh)
All your own candy, your candy, candy man

Come on woman, gonna treat you right (ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
Give you candy kisses every single night (ah-ah-ah)
(Candy man, candy man, candy man, candy man)

Go for me, let me be (ahhh)
All your own candy, your candy, candy man
Yeah candy, candy, candy
I got a sweet sweet tooth for you
Yeah candy, candy, candy
I got a sweet sweet tooth for you
[fades out]
