I get the feelin' I'm losin' effect.
 A little kissin', is what I been missin'
 Where you been lately?

 If you stay out late and leave me alone
 Just leave a message - throw me a bone
 A little sugar, would go so much further
 Love me like candy

 (chorus)
 Thought that I was ready
 When you said you'd marry me.
 I bought a cookbook and a teddy
 Everything a gal could need - at least I thought so baby

 Now it don't matter if I love the man
 Won't waste my time plantin' seeds in the sand
 Cause its the lovin' that heats up the oven
 I melt like candy

 (Chorus)
 Thought that you was ready
 When you said you'd marry me.
 Now you're misbehavin'
 Every night I'm praying please - I want another lover

 Cause I am itchin' for some sympathy
 And where I get it, don't matter to me.
 You make me crazy, forget I'm a lady?
 Love me like candy
