Sweet Surrender: Love as Sweet as Candy by the Pound
Lyrics
Well I'm keeping off the streets since you came to town
Expressing a positive change in behavior since the arrival of someone special.
Since you claimed my heart from the lost and found
Acknowledging that the person has captured the speaker's heart.
I have said goodbye to my fooling around
Indicating a commitment to a more serious and settled lifestyle.
Now you and me babe we got candy by the pound
Highlighting the abundance of joy and sweetness in the relationship.
You and me babe we got candy by the pound
Reiterating the idea of having a surplus of happiness and love.
Well I never knew it could feel so good
Expressing the unexpected pleasure and contentment in the relationship.
Be the king of the hill in my neighbourhood
Feeling triumphant and fulfilled in the speaker's surroundings.
Rain on my roof what a sweet sound
Describing the comforting and pleasant sound of rain.
Oh with you underneath it's like candy by the pound
Comparing the experience of being with the person to a delightful abundance of candy.
With you underneath it's like candy by the pound
Emphasizing the joyous feeling when together, like having an excess of sweet treats.
You can tell everybody that this girl of mine
Boasting about the sweetness and desirability of the speaker's romantic partner.
Is sweeter than the grapes hanging from the vine
Comparing the partner's sweetness to grapes on a vine, suggesting natural and genuine sweetness.
Love like wine honey drinking till I drown
Drawing a parallel between love and wine, implying indulgence and enjoyment.
Keep it coming baby like candy by the pound
Expressing a desire for the continuous flow of love similar to an abundance of candy.
Oh no what's come over me
Expressing surprise or disbelief about the positive changes in the speaker's life.
If I am dreaming then let me sleep
Expressing a desire to continue the positive experience, even if it feels like a dream.
Oh wow I'm heaven bound
Feeling a sense of elevated happiness and fulfillment.
Love is getting sweeter than candy by the pound
Describing the increasing sweetness of love in a heavenly manner.
Now I'm ducking in the alley of common sense
Using metaphorical language to describe avoiding confrontation or problems.
Hiding from the claws of my old girl friend
Describing a need to escape from past relationship troubles.
She's screaming murder beating my door down
Depicting a dramatic situation where the past relationship is causing disturbance.
While I'm right behind it I'm eating candy by the pound
Indicating a sense of blissful ignorance or detachment while enjoying the current relationship.
I'm right behind it eating I'm candy by the pound
Reiterating the joy of being immersed in the current relationship, oblivious to past troubles.
