## Lyrics

**[Verse 1: Doja Cat]**

I can name a couple ways, baby, this shit might go

You just might forget that this was what you're gettin' high for

Men that like to do the things to remain that guy who

Need someone who's sweet and not gon' shoot to make that high note

**[Pre-Chorus: Doja Cat]**

And it's such a typical thing

Runnin' over billion men who

Only deal with difficult things

You gon' need a billion hands, ooh

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**

She's just like candy, she's so sweet

But you know that it ain't real cherry, know that it ain't real cherry

She's just like candy (Candy), she's so sweet (She's so sweet)

But you know that it ain't real, know that it ain't real

**[Verse 2: Doja Cat]**

I can be your sugar when you're fiendin' for that sweet spot

Put me in your mouth, baby, and eat it 'til your teeth rot

I can be your cherry, apple, pecan, or your key lime

Baby I got everything and so much more than she's got

**[Pre-Chorus: Doja Cat]**

And it's such a typical thing

Runnin' over billion men who

Only deal with difficult things

You gon' need a billion hands, ooh

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**

She's just like candy, she's so sweet

But you know that it ain't real cherry, know that it ain't real cherry

She's just like candy (Candy), she's so sweet (She's so sweet)

But you know that it ain't real, know that it ain't real

She's just like candy, she's so sweet

But you know that it ain't real cherry, know that it ain't real cherry

She's just like candy (Candy), she's so sweet (She's so sweet)

But you know that it ain't real, know that it ain't real

**[Bridge: Doja Cat]**

Sugar coated, lies unfolded

You still lick the wrapper

It's addictive, you know this

But you still lick the wrapper

Sugar coated, lies unfolded

You still lick the wrapper

It's addictive, you know this

But you still lick the wrapper

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**

She's just like candy, she's so sweet (So sweet, so sweet)

But you know that it ain't real cherry, know that it ain't real cherry

She's just like candy (Candy), she's so sweet (She's so sweet)

But you know that it ain't real, know that it ain't real

She's just like candy, she's so sweet (Eyy, yeah! Eyy, yeah!) (Sugar coated, lies unfolded)

But you know that it ain't real cherry, know that it ain't real cherry (Eyy, yeah, yeah, eh!) (You still lick the wrapper)

She's just like candy (Candy), she's so sweet (She's so sweet) (it's addictive, you know this)

But you know that it ain't real, know that it ain't real (But you still lick the wrapper)

## SoundCloud Version

Before Candy's official release on *Amala* it was released two year earlier, in 2016, on SoundCloud with a different instrumental. It was changed because the beat was sold. Also the first chorus is played twice opposed to the official version, the last chorus is played three times instead of twice and the high notes at the end aren't there. Also the demo-version ends with the chorus fading out while the official one doesn't
