The pretty clothes are scattered 'round the room

And it's so like Candy

The coloured tablets keep it all in place

Here lies a picture of a girl

Her arms are tight around that lucky guy

And it's so like Candy

I remember the day that picture was taken

We were so happy then

G                  C
But that's so like Candy

She seemed so sweet to me I was mistaken

	  C
Oh no not that again

G		   C
But that's so like Candy

	       G        C
She just can't face the day

G                Am
So she turns and melts away

Here lie the records that she scratched

			   D    F E
And on the sleeve I find a note attached

	 Dm	 	E
And it's so like Candy

			     Am	    	Am/G
"My Darling Dear it's such a waste"

				D    F        E
She couldn't say "Goodye", but "I admire your taste"

	 Dm
And it's so like Candy
