Sex And Candy Lyrics
Maroon 5
Lyrics
Hangin' 'round downtown by myself
And I had so much time to sit and think about myself
And there she was like double cherry pie
There she was like disco Super Fly
I smell sex and candy here.
Who's that loungin' in my chair?
Who's that castin' devious stares in my direction?
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
Say, mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
Woah, oooh, yeah
Hangin' 'round downtown by myself
And I've had too much caffeine and I was thinkin' 'bout myself
And then there she was, wearing that platform double suede
There she was like disco lemonade
I smell sex and candy here
Who's that loungin' in my chair?
Who's that castin' devious stares in my direction?
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
Say, mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
Oooh, yeah
And I smell sex and candy here
Who's that loungin' in my chair?
Who's that castin' devious stares in my direction?
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
Say, mama, this surely is a dream, dig it
This surely is a dream, yeah
Say, mama, this must be my dream
Oh, mmm.
Ooooh, oooh, yeah, yeah.
Mmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, ooooh-oooh, woah.
Yeah. Mmm. Oooh, woah.
Woah, oh. Yeah...
