Lyrics

In the dark by candlelight
I'm looking for a sign
Moving right and turning left
I'm almost mesmerised
I hear a voice down the corridor
Strange music to my ears
Never thought you'd come around
I'd never find you here

Baby, baby, sweeter than a candy bar
You sparkle like a star
Baby, baby, sweeter than a candy bar
I never thought you'd get this far

I gave you up without a trace, a trick of the mind
Granted space and extra-time
We're destined to collide
Like gravity on rock and stone
Crashing to the floor
Pulled back down to earth
We even up the score

Baby, (what you doing here?), baby, sweeter than a candy bar
You sparkle like a star
Baby, baby, sweeter than a candy bar
I never thought you'd get this far
I don't give up easy though you may think me a fool
I've come to sign the treaty, if you'd just let me through
And in my head the words are saying


Baby, baby, sweeter than a candy bar
You sparkle like a star
Baby, (what you doing here?), baby, sweeter than a candy bar
I never thought you'd get this far





I like the lyrics, groove, and female vocal. Good composition and current production.

great tune
unusual beats and sounds
great vocals

I really liked this song! Strong clear beat in crystal clear lyrics-very very well produced. Reminding me of the song "Do You Think I'm a Nasty Girl". It's the kind of a song that has such a good beat that even people who cannot dance become good dancers to the song! I also liked the instrumentation and how different instruments came in and out on the verses. Great song!!

Nice track, vocals and vibe. Great job!

Liked very much sounds, voice and rhythm! Original arrangements. Loved the change at 2:07! Great work my friend!

Very contemporary sounding tune with really good instrumentation and very good and enticing vocals.

Love the r&b chords, very touching.

This song has a nice feel. I like the changes. The vocals are nice and sweet. The recording is well done. Nice balance. The music is right on!!! I love it!!!
