Candy Bling

I still remember that hazy September
I've been waitin' for somebody like you to come back around
We would walk in the park every Saturday
Brand-new, all in love, kissin' time away
You was all up on me
It was plain to see that I was your girl
And way-back-when, it was the simple things
Anklets, name plates, that you gave to me
Sweet Tarts, Ring Pops, had that candy bling
And you were my world

Now I wish I could go back and make time stop
I would take this love throwback from the top
Go, DJ, play my song
And I'ma think about you all night long

Back in the day, we were in love
We're not in love anymore
But some days, I sit and wish we was in love again
Back in the day, we were in love (back, back)
We're not in love anymore
But some days, I sit and wish we was in love again
Irresponsible things we would do
Like fall asleep on the phone, skippin' school
Now, I'm back to the future, missin' you

My sweet baby
My sweet thang, like candy
Felt like real love, not just play-play
Missin' you, my sweet baby (I can't delete your picture from my mind)

It was everything that I could do to stay away
And I often reminisce about the games we played
The way it was tag, chase, spin-the-bottle
'Dem butterflies woulda last till tomorrow
Then the lights came on
I had to run right home

Now I wish I could go back and make time stop
I would take this love throwback from the top
Go, DJ, play my song
And I'ma think about you all night long

Back in the day, we were in love
We're not in love anymore
But some days, I sit and wish we was in love again
Back in the day, we were in love (back, back)
We're not in love anymore
But some days, I sit and wish we was in love again
Irresponsible things we would do
Like fall asleep on the phone, skippin' school
Now, I'm back to the future, missin' you

My sweet baby
My sweet thang, like candy
Felt like real love, not just play-play
Missin' you, my sweet baby (I can't delete your picture from my mind)

I'm the same Mimi, fame ain't changed me
Butterfly-flow, like Muhammad Ali
Wish I could bring you back, like the ODB
Thinkin' about the Whirlpool, me, you 'n Jack
No matter what I do, all the memories are stacked
Thinkin' 'bout 10th grade, thinkin' 'bout 11th
Me, you and Doug E Fresh
All the way to heaven

Back in the day, we were in love (back in the day)
We're not in love anymore
But some days, I sit and wish we was in love again (I sit and wish we was)
Back in the day, we were in love (I wish we was just like back in the day)
We're not in love anymore
But some days, I sit and wish was in love again
Irresponsible things we would do like (still remember)
Fall asleep on the phone, skippin' school
(Now I'm back in the) now I'm back to the future, missin' you
(Now I'm stuck in the future, missin' you)

My sweet baby
My sweet thang, like candy
Felt like real love, not just play-play
Missin' you, my sweet baby (I can't delete your picture from my mind)
My sweet baby (oh, oh, I can't delete your picture from my mind)
My sweet thang, like candy
Felt like real love, not just play-play (after all this time)
Missin' you, my sweet baby (I can't)
