John Hoolihan Candy Coating lyrics

Well it was late summer and I was alone
I thought you were too that you had no one at home
Well you were the best thing that I'd seen in a while
Just like candy with that pretty smile
The fires were burnin' there was no one around
Alone in a place that wasn't easily found
We had a whole lotta fun yeah me and you
But I didn't know what I was gettin' into
Ah honey you looked so good to me that I
I couldn't really help myself
Well baby you felt so good to me yeah
Like no one else

- CHORUS -
But now your candy coating's wearin' thin
You been tellin' me lies but I know where you been
Well it took some time but now the verdict's in
Yeah your candy coating's wearin' real thin
Wearin' real thin

Later on baby when we would go out

We had a good time but there was always some doubt
'Cause you were thinkin' 'bout some other guy
He'd been a bad boy and that explains why
You needed some company yeah when you were feelin' blue
You needed some sympathy yeah to see you through

- CHORUS -

Then you said it was over that we were through
There was no reason why but I always knew
You're heart wasn't with me it was always elsewhere
You know somethin' baby it just don't seem fair
Ah honey you looked so good to me that I
I couldn't really help myself
Well baby you felt so good to me yeah
Like no one else

- CHORUS -
