Lyrics
It's a rainy afternoon
Reflecting on a rainy afternoon
In ninteen-ninety
Specifically in the year 1990
The big city
In a large urban setting
Geez, it's been twenty years
Expressing the passage of twenty years
Candy, you were so fine
Addressing someone named Candy
Beautiful, beautiful girl from the north
Complimenting Candy's beauty and origin (north)
You burned my heart with a flickering torch
Describing intense emotions experienced for Candy
I had a dream that no one else could see
Reference to a dream that was personal
You gave me love for free
Recalling receiving love without conditions
Candy, candy, candy I can't let you go
Expressing difficulty in moving on from Candy
All my life you're haunting me, I loved you so
Acknowledging a lasting impact of love for Candy
Candy, candy, candy I can't let you go
Repeating the struggle to let go of Candy
Life is crazy
Commenting on the unpredictable nature of life
Candy, baby
Calling Candy affectionately
Yeah, well it hurt me real bad when you left
Expressing emotional pain caused by Candy's departure
Hey, I'm glad you got out, but, but I miss you
Mixed feelings of happiness for Candy and personal longing
I've had a hole in my heart for so long
Describing a prolonged emotional void
I've learned to fake it and just smile along
Adapting to emotional pain by pretending and smiling
Down on the street
Observing similarities in people on the street
Those men are all the same
Expressing a desire for genuine love, not games
I need a love
Reiterating the need for authentic love
Not games
Emphasizing the importance of sincerity in relationships
Not games
Repeating the rejection of games in love
Candy, candy, candy I can't let you go
Reiterating the difficulty in letting go of Candy
All my life you're haunting me, I loved you so
Recalling the enduring impact of love for Candy
Candy, candy, candy I can't let you go
Repeating the struggle to move on from Candy
Life is crazy
Acknowledging the craziness of life
I know, baby
Acknowledging understanding of life's challenges
Candy, baby
Repeating the affectionate term for Candy
You-you-you, candy, candy, candy, I can't let you go
Repeating the difficulty in letting go of Candy
All my life you're haunting me, I loved you so
Reiterating the lasting impact of love for Candy
Candy, candy, candy, life is crazy
Repeating the acknowledgment of life's unpredictability
Candy, baby
Calling Candy affectionately
Candy baby
Repeating the affectionate term for Candy
Candy, candy
Repeating the mention of Candy
Candy, candy, candy I can't let you go
Repeating the difficulty in letting go of Candy
All my life you're haunting me, I loved you so
Reiterating the lasting impact of love for Candy
Candy, candy, candy I can't let you go
Repeating the struggle to move on from Candy
