[Intro: Tone Lōc]

Attention all ladies

The Candyman is on the prowl

And for those that wanna get busy

You gots to speak up now


[Verse 1: Candyman]

This rhyme, this time is one of a kind

Blowin' yo mind like only the Candyman can

Like a heavyweight champion, knockin' em out, another bout without a doubt

Once again, you can scream and shout

When I rock the bells, yell out my name

This is what you've been missin', listen to my heart beat while I'm whisperin'

I know you're sufferin', so sweet, a Candyman sweet nothings

Huggin' and tuggin' and rubbin', loving it all, havin' a ball

All y'all girlies next to me, talkin' sex to me

We can't do that yet, but I bet we'll chill

(Candyman, tell 'em the truth)

We'll still end up knockin' the boots


[Chorus: Shatasha Williams]

Ooh boy, I love you so

Never ever ever gonna let you go

Once I get my hands on you


[Verse 2: Candyman]

At each and every show, there's this groupie

Artis knows what she wants to do to me

She knows my name, knows every rap routine

But how'd she get in my limousine?

Don't act fool, don't drool

I'm just a performer, I was cool but the room got warmer

Norma cornered me in, her and a friend named Lynn, then

They checked me in to the Holiday Inn

I didn't let 'em win, said my pockets was thin

She blew me a kiss, I knew she wasn't new to this

I didn't want to, but the devil made me do it

To the tick-tock ya don't stop

We knock boots 'til 6 o'clock, as we lay all night long

And early in the mornin', she sang this song

[Chorus: Shatasha Williams, Candyman]

Ooh boy I love you so

Never ever ever gonna let you go

Once I get my hands on you

Ooh boy I love you so

Never ever ever gonna let you go

I hope you feel the same way too (Girl, I do)


[Verse 3: Candyman]

Tunnel of love is what I'm enterin'

When I mention it, you're surrenderin'

Givin' it up like a good girl has to

Livin' it up, eventually you ask to stay

You're gonna pay for this

Just rest your breast on my chest, yes I'm impressed

With the way you cold love me down

I don't wanna sit down, I just wanna get down

I'm on the ground, down on my knees

Like James Brown singing "Please, please"

Round two, I'm down to do what it takes to make you understand

I'm the Candyman, and I melt in your mouth, not in your hands

Hard as a rock, yes, I'm no sucka

The boots I knock make me one bad mother— (mother, mother)


[Verse 4: Candyman]

Knockin', while I'm a hip-hoppin'

Many people say my lyrics are shocking

Just because of the simple subject

Everyone should love this, 'cause everybody does it

Whether they admit it or if they deny it, you better keep quiet

Or else you might have to see a few skeletons, but girl, that's irrelevant

Break out the bottle of Asti Spumante, pop off the top and rock with my posse

Fila Al, Big Dill, and D Fly

We ask the questions, you give the reply

MC Chip, Big Rob and Bud

Rockin' on the waterbed, knockin' on the rugs

I'm just playin', what I'm sayin' ain't ill

Girl, you should know I'm real (Unh, unh)
