INFORMATION ABOUT THE SONG "CANDY GIRL" & SONG LYRICS
“Candy Girl” was the first single New Edition released in 1983 from their debut album of the same name. The song was recorded in 1982 after the group was given studio time by producer Maurice Starr following a second-place finish in a Boston talent show. The members of New Edition were between the ages of 13-15 when this song was recorded. The single was released on February 24, 1983, and while it only peaked at #46 on the Billboard Hot 100, it hit #1 on both the R&B Singles chart and the UK Singles chart.
Lyrically, New Edition describes their girls as being “sweet as candy” and this song’s style was inspired by the 1970 hit “ABC” by The Jackson 5.
[LYRICS- CANDY GIRL]
[Ralph Tresvant rapping]
My girl's like candy, a candy treat
She knocks me high up off my feet
She's so fine, as can be
I know this girl is meant for me
[Ralph singing]
Candy girl...
You are my world
When you're with me
You brighten up my day
All I know
When I'm with you
You make me feel so good, through and through
The way you walk, and the way you talk
You always look so good, you make forget my thoughts
[Ricky Bell]
Do you really love me?
Don't you really care?
Do you really need me
And will you always be there?
[Ralph]
Every night and every day
I'm always thinking of you in every way
All I know
When I'm with you
You make me feel so good
Through and through
Candy girl, you are my world
[RB] You're everything, everything, everything to me
[RT] Candy girl, all I want to say
[Bobby Brown] I need your love, each and everyday!
[Ralph talking]
Hey fellas! (What?)
Check out Mike and Bobby's little lady!
(ooooh-weeeee!)
[Michael Bivins]
Well, check out Ricky and Ralph's!
(oooooh-weeee!)
[Bobby]
What about Ronnie's!
[Ronnie DeVoe]
She's bad, I know she's bad!
[Michael]
She walks so fast, she looks so sweet
She makes my heart just skip a beat
[Bobby]
My girl's the best and that's no lie
She tells me that I'm her only guy!
[Ricky]
That might be true, but my girl's a joy
She don't play around, she's right to the point!
[Ralph rapping]
My girl's like candy, a candy treat
She knocks me high up off my feet
[Ralph singing]
Oh, candy
You look so sweet
Oh, candy!
You're a special treat
[Break]
[RT] Candy girl, you are my world
[B] I need your love, each and everyday
[RT] Candy girl, all I want to say
[RB] You're everything, everything, everything to me
[RT] Candy girl, you are my world
[B] I need your love, each and everyday
[RT] Candy girl, all I want to say
[RB] You're everything, everything, everything to me
[RT] Candy girl...
[B] I need it, need it, need it, need it, need it everyday!
[RT] Candy girl..."
