Here lies the powAmder andAm/G perfume
The prettyD clothFes aEre scattered 'round the room
AndDm it's soE like Candy
Here lies the lipstAmick Am/Gand the face
The coloureDd taFbleEts keep it all in place
AndDm it's so like Candy
So likGe Candy
CWhat did EI do to make her go
AmWhy must sheG be the one
FThat I have to love
FmSo like CCandyE
Here lies a picture of a AmgirlAm/G
Her arms are tight around that DlucFky Eguy
AndDm it's Eso like Candy
And in hAmer eAm/Gyes a certain look
I thought I'dD seenF tEhe last of long ago
AndDm it's so like Candy
So likGe Candy
CWhat did I do Eto make her go
AmWhy must sheG be the one
FThat I have to love
FmSo like Candy
I reFmember the day that G#picture was taken
We weCre so happy then
GBut that's so like CCandy
FShe seemed so sweet to me G#I was mistaken
Oh nCo not that again
GBut thatC's so like Candy
She just Gcan't facCe the day
GSo she turns and Ammelts away
Here lie theAm recAm/Gords that she scratched
And on thDe sleFevEe I find a note attached
AndDm it's sEo like Candy
"My DaAmrling DearAm/G it's such a waste"
She coulDdn't Fsay "E;Goodye", but "I admire your taste"
AndDm it's so like Candy
