Now I like candy and I like cake and I like jam but goodness sake

There's nothing as sweet as my baby

She got golden hair and big blue eyes she could win a beauty prize

There's nothing as sweet as my baby

If I ever lose her I'll lay me down and die

If sugar seems sweet then you oughta meet my honey coated sweetie pie

I like candy and I like cake and I like jam but goodness sake

There's nothing as sweet as my baby

[ guitar - steel ]

Now I like candy and I like cake and I like jam but goodness sake

There's nothing as sweet as my baby

I'll be like a honeybee when she's buzzin' round with me

There's nothing as sweet as my baby

Got pounds of candy kisses but I can't spare an ounce

She's sweeter than wine and brother she's mine

And that's the only thing that counts

I like candy and I like cake and I like jam but goodness sake

There's nothing as sweet as my baby
