Story Behind The Song
This is a song about obsession. You screwed up badly and told all your fair weather, good time, glad handing friends that she didn't matter and that there's plenty more women out there. But, in the solitude of your own room, as you feel the empty place beside you in your bed and look back at yourself in the mirror, you know that she's gone and she ain't ever coming back!!!

Lyrics
Taste Of Candy
Verse 1
Dreams of you fill my nights
How you move and excite
Remembering only, the look on your face
Your eyes ask the question
The tease and the tension
Your touch lasts forever, transcends time and space
Chorus
No reflection in the mirror, wish you were here
I keep calling your name, but it's only echoes that remain
TASTE OF CANDY, sugar dandy
Scotch and brandy, sweet TASTE OF CANDY
Verse 2
You have been my obsession
You have heard my confessions
There are things I have told you, how I want you to dance
You're my favorite addiction
Loved your touch and the friction
The taste of your body and my mind's in a trance
Chorus 2
No reflection in the mirror, wish you were here,... yeah....
I keep calling your name, but it's only echoes that remain
TASTE OF CANDY, sugar dandy
Scotch and brandy. sweet TASTE OF CANDY
Tell me what you want, what is it that you read
Tell me where you've been, I'll give you what you need
Bridge
You're wrapped around my heart, you're playing with my mind
And, baby, if I'm bad you've paid me back in kind
If I could go back, make these memories all new
Need the love that we shared, help me, Jesus, make your dreams come true
I'm so addicted to ....your TASTE OF CANDY, baby
Sweet TASTE OF CANDY...yeah......(Inst)
Verse3
As I lay on my bed
Fight these thoughts in my in my head
Break into a cold sweat, too restless to sleep
How I long for your touch
God, I miss it so much
I'm so haunted by these memories, I need you next to me
Chorus 2
No reflection in the mirror, wish you were here
(wish you were here)
I keep calling out your name, but it's only echoes that remain
TASTE OF CANDY, sugar dandy
Scotch and brandy, sweet TASTE OF CANDY
Tell me what you want, what is it that you read
Tell me where you've been, I'll give you what you need
Outro
Forbidden candy, sweet sugar dandy
One scotch and brandy, sweet TASTE OF CANDY
You are my addiction, loved your touch and the friction
Still feel your nails down my back.......
TASTE OF CANDY...........yeah
