Bb D7 Eb C7
Candy, darling
Cm F
Who knows why the caged bird even sings?
Bb D7 Eb C7
For high priced low-lives
Cm F
Red bodega roses, you and me
[Refrain]
Cm F
I never wanna leave
Cm F
Your perfume candy dream
[Verse 2]
Bb D7 Eb C7
So queen of south Queens
Cm F
We never did stop cheering for you, babe
Bb D7 Eb C7
And your wig, blonde, rolls home
Cm F
Waving from the latest uptown train
[Refrain]
Cm F
I never wanna leave
Cm F
Your perfume candy scene
[Verse 3]
Bb D7 Eb C7
So Candy, darling
Cm F
I brought bodega roses for your feet
Bb D7 Eb C7
And Candy, my sweet
Cm F Bb
I hope you will be coming home to me
