Lord! Oh, yeah.

Don't look to those above you.
When you're down and out, ain't no doubt
Nobody wants you.
But you're rock candy baby
Hard, sweet and sticky.
Rock candy baby
Hard, sweet and sticky.
When you're seventeen reachin' for your dreams
Don't let no one reach it for you.
Pull up your pants,
Stretch out take a chance.
If it can be done, you can do it.
