lyrics
Candy Jones
Candy Jones, don’t you walk away.
Candy Jones, you see the look on my face.
Candy Jones, things felt so right.
Here I stand, don’t walk away tonight
Candy Jones, I don’t fear the pain.
Candy Jones, why do you act so strange?
Candy Jones, if I’m wasting my time
Let me know and I’ll be fine
Chorus
Candy Jones, I need to talk to you tonight alone
Candy, can you tell me why your lovin’ has turned cold?
Candy Jones, I heard a story ‘bout you.
Candy Jones, hey honey, is it true?
Candy Jones, whisper in my ear
Tell me how your love just disappears.
Bridge
If you want, you can come around
This time I won’t let you bring me down
You can come up; you can see me smiling face
Smiling for you
If you want, you can come around
This time I won’t let you bring me down, down
You can come up; see me smiling
Smiling there for you, Candy Jones
Chorus
Candy Jones, I need to talk to you tonight alone
Candy, can you tell me why your lovin’ turned to stone?
Candy. Candy Jones.
Candy. Candy Jones.
Candy. Tonight I wonder on.
