Candy By The Pound

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album ice on fire

Well i'm keeping off the streets since you came to town
Since you claimed my heart from the lost and found
I have said goodbye to my fooling around
Now you and me babe we got candy by the pound
You and me babe we got candy by the pound

Well i never knew it could feel so good
Be the king of the hill in my neighbourhood
Rain on my roof what a sweet sound
Oh with you underneath it's like candy by the pound
With you underneath it's like candy by the pound


You can tell everybody that this girl of mine
Is sweeter than the grapes hanging from the vine
Love like wine honey drinking till i drown
Keep it coming baby like candy by the pound


Oh no what's come over me
If i am dreaming then let me sleep
Oh wow i'm heaven bound
Love is getting sweeter than candy by the pound


Now i'm ducking in the alley of common sense
Hiding from the claws of my old girl friend
She's screaming murder beating my door down
While i'm right behind it i'm eating candy by the pound
I'm right behind it eating i'm candy by the pound
