you know you want a taste
got that candy that you crave

sometimes there's no rhyme
and you don't need a reason
that fruit might not be ripe
but our candy's always in season

twenty four
candy store
sweet or sour
still want more

got it all over your hands and all over your face
hold it in your mouth and let it melt away

you can always come back for more
'cuz were open twenty-four

sticky sugar daddies can be oh so sweet
get all you want, get all you can't leave
the taste on your tongue
makes you hungry for more
you want more of that stuff
that you can't pay for

got you thinking it's so so sweet
but you're just one more sucker
for a double-dipped treat
all ready to taste another

how many licks do you think it will take?
never meant to last if it makes your jaw break
get more for now, have less or later
no good waiting for the after flavor

choclate covered, caramel dipped
sticky, chewy, sucked and licked
some sweet tooth breaking sweetness
with gushing gummy dropp goodness
candy coated juicy middle
rainbow rolled up dipped in sprinkles
candy colors coating your tongue
just look at all the damage done
