I left home when i was only seventeen
  Met a guy, he and i
  Drove down to new orleans
  He seemed to know his way around
  And i thought i could last
  The sweet-talkin', oh,
  C-c-c-candyman
  
  Warmed his bed
  Kept him fed
  And oh i loved him so
  Thought i had to cry alot
  Whenever he would go
  I guess i was just too young
  To really understand
  A sweet-talkin' ooooooh,
  C-c-c-candyman!!!
  
  Sweet talking candyman
  My sweet talking
  Sweet talking candyman
  I hear you talking!
  
  He played around
  And brought me down
  And finally threw me out
  I got burned
  But I learned
  What life was all about
  And i often think of him
  Every now and then
  A sweet-talkin', ooooooh,
  C-c-c-candyman
  
  Sweet talking candyman
  My sweet talking
  Sweet talking candyman
  I hear you talking ...
