Candy Store Lyrics


Can I take you back, take you back
Can I take you back, take you back girl
To the candy store, candy store, whoa
Can I take you back, take you back baby
Can I take you back, take you back girl
To the candy store, candy store whoaI took a trip to where we used to live
The tree was still there we carved our names in as kids
? , had a sign that said she don't live here no more
Went to the neighbors asked because ?
You're the only one for me
Love's the only thing in life that is free
Now all I have left is just a memory[Chorus]
I remember when you were young,
Back in the days of bubble gum
And the only thing that mattered in life
Was the candy store, down on the corner
All the kids in the neighborhood,
Would get money from the parents if they were good

And we were good, we would all gather around at the candy store
Down on the cornerThat's when I first saw you girl, yeah, yeah, yeah
Looking so sweet, I said, how do you do, at the candy store
Down on the corner
You were my girlfriend, I was your boyfriend ?
I met you, at the candy store[Chorus]? in the back, sunroof top, TV in the seat with the gangster lean
Holler at the shawty, with the afro puff
Light blue halter top with bell bottoms with tops
Hat to the back, tube socks to the knee
Me and my girlfriend, carved her name in the tree
We often fantasized about a life with me
Now all I have left is just a memoryMiss Mary Mac, Mac, Mac, all dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons, all down her back, back, back
She asked her mother, mother, mother for fifteen cents, cents, cents
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants,
Jump over the fence, fence, fence[Chorus: x2]If you remember the candy store
Everybody clap your hands
If you remember the candy store and how it used to be
Just clap your hands
If you remember the candy store
And how it made you feel good
Close your eyes
If you remember the candy store
And wanna go back lemnme hear you say yeah

Keith Sweat (born Keith Crier on July 22, 1961 in Harlem, New York), is a popular R&B/soul singer, songwriter, record producer and a major contributor to the New jack swing era. Before becoming a recording artist, Sweat worked for the commodities market in the New York Mercantile Exchange. He sang at nightclubs throughout New York City until he was discovered and offered a recording contract with Elektra Records in 1987.

Make It Last Forever era: 1985-1993

Sweat started his musical career as a member of a well known Harlem band called "Jamilah" in 1975. With the help of Jamilah, Sweat was able to hone his craft as a lead singer by performing regionally throughout the Tri-State area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The group was started by Larry Peebles, a talented bass player from 116th Street and Lenox Avenue, and included several members who came in and out of the group; among those included was Gregory Ross, a well known Harlem keyboard player who currently lives and works in the Los Angeles area.

On November 25, 1987, Sweat released his debut album Make It Last Forever, which sold three million copies. The biggest hit from this album was "I Want Her" (#1 R&B/#5 Pop), and the title track from the album was hit #2 on the R&B charts.

Sweat continued to chart fairly well with his sophomore album I'll Give All My Love To You, which hit #6 on the Billboard 200 chart, and Keep It Comin debuted in the Top 20 of the album chart.
