Tell me, tell me straight
 
 Why you wanna waste my time?
 
 Why you wanna play
 
 Why you wanna play with my mind?
 
  
  When I look at you
 
 I see someone I don't wanna be
 
 But every time you come around
 
 You always get the best of me
  
 
 I'm fighting you with everything I know
 
 But I can never seem to let you go
 
 I'm fighting you with everything I am
 
 Can't get away, get away from the Candy Man
  
 
 Get away!
 
 The Candy Man
 
 Get away!
 
 The Candy Man
 
 Get away!
 
 The Candy Man
  
 
 (Get away, get away, get away)
  
 
 Why do I feel bitter when you always taste so sweet?
 
 (I should've listened to what my Mama said)
 
 Everything that glitters isn't always what it seems
 
 Patience is a virtue
 
 But you know you're runnin' out of time
 
 You know you're guilty, guilty
 
 Guilty of a love crime
  
 
 I'm fighting you with everything I know
 
 But I can never seem to let you go
 
 I'm fighting you with everything I am
 
 Can't get away, get away from the Candy Man
  
 
 Get away!
 
 The Candy Man
 
 Get away!
 
 The Candy Man
 
 Get away!
 
 The Candy Man
  
 
 (Get away, get away, get away)
  
 
 Woah, oh, oh
 
 I'm fighting everything I know
 
 I just can't seem to let you go
 
 I'm fighting with all that I am
 
 To get away from the Candy Man
  
 
 Candy, Candy
 
 So sweet (from the Candy Man)
 
 It's takin' over me
 
 I can't take the heat (from the Candy Man)
 
 Candy, Candy
 
 So sweet, so sweet, so sweet! (From the Candy Man)
  
 
 I'm fighting you with everything I know
 
 But I can never seem to let you go
 
 I'm fighting you with everything I am
 
 Can't get away, get away from the Candy Man
  
 
 Get away!
 
 The Candy Man
 
 Get away!
 
 The Candy Man
 
 Get away!
 
 The Candy Man
