I Took Candy From a Baby

Verse 1

Stepped out on the avenue

Sunday shoes and a crooked grin

Saw a stroller parked by the corner store

And I thought about where to begin

Little hands held a bag of sweets

Wrapped in paper and tied with string

I told myself I was doing him a favor

Told myself it was a simple thing

Pre-Chorus

So I reached on down

And I smiled real wide

Said hello to the kid

Then I took a little ride

Chorus

I took candy from a baby

And I walked off down the street

I took candy from a baby

Don't you tell a soul you see

(Sweet, sweet, sweet)

It was mine to keep

(Sweet, sweet, sweet)

Don't you make a peep

Verse 2

Now the story gets a little strange

I brought the little guy along

Set him up in my studio

With a tiny little apron on

He's pressing vinyls all day long

Labeled for my brand new record

Working hard for his new album

Guess the kid is my co-producer

Pre-Chorus

And the press will ask

Where I got my sound

I just shrug and say

He's been around

Chorus

I took candy from a baby

And I walked off down the street

I took candy from a baby

Don't you tell a soul you see

(Sweet, sweet, sweet)

It was mine to keep

(Sweet, sweet, sweet)

Don't you make a peep

Bridge

Okay so real talk for a second here

My label's got a breakup quota I gotta meet

So my ex dumped me last Tuesday

But honestly that's off topic

Forget I said it

Anyway he's pressing records now

And I need one more hit

So who's got candy

Chorus

I took candy from a baby

And I walked off down the street

I took candy from a baby

Don't you tell a soul you see

(Sweet, sweet, sweet)

It was mine to keep

(Sweet, sweet, sweet)

Don't you make a peep

Post-Chorus

La la la la

La la la la

Don't you tell a soul

La la la la

La la la la

Don't you tell a soul
