Whoa-oh-oh (hey) whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh (hey) whoa-oh-oh-ooh
I could have been a banker sitting in the cash arena
I could have been all that you wanted me to be
So you'd be proud when I would meet your family
And then, I thought about it, girl
What would I be without my music? Yeah, I
And I know we could never be, 'til you understand my ability
I am a candy man, there'll never be another like me (no, no)
I'm a musical handy man sitting in my backup sipping on Hennessy
They say that I am a randy man
That you should run away from me (you should run away from me)
But I'm really just a candy man (candy man)
Looking for some money to record me, my new CD
I could have been a freedom fighter, fighting for independence
But by the time my generation came around
The independence of our nation had been found
But even if I'm meant to fight, I would have fought it with my music
So baby girl, tell your family the music that I sing is my destiny
'Cause I am a candy man, there'll never be another like me (not another like me)
I'm a musical handy man (a handy man) sitting in my backup sipping on Hennessy
They say that I am a randy man (that I am a randy man)
You should run away from me (please, don't run away from me)
But I'm really just a candy man (just a candy man)
Looking for some money to record me, my new CD
Whoa-oh-oh (hey) whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh (hey) whoa-oh-oh-ooh
Whoa-oh-oh (hey) whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh (hey) whoa-oh-oh-ooh
Say if you really believe in my gift and my musical ability, yeah
Then you'll stay with me, girl, and you'll take me to your family
But if you lead me to leave it, my gift and my musical afinity
And I'll understand, girl, and you'll never be my enemy
I am a candy man (a candy man), there'll never be another like me
(Never, never, never be another)
I'm a musical handy man sitting in my backup sipping on Hennessy
They say that I am a randy man
That you should run away from me (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby, don't you leave me so)
But I'm really just a candy man
Looking for some money to record me, my new CD
I am a candy man, there'll never be another like me
I'm a musical handy man sitting in my backup sipping on Hennessy
They say that I am a randy man
That you should run away from me
But I'm really just a candy man
Looking for some money to record me, my new CD
