this is a love song that also talks about candy (not really, tho)
lyrics
sun kissed skin and sun soaked eyes
like a sunset starting to say goodbye
man, if i had guts, then i might try
to propose some things that i'm way too shy to ask
like are you single? what makes you cry?
do you have a favorite color? am i your type?
do you wanna be a mother? morning, day, or night?
do you got a man or got a wife?
baby, will you be my sugar plum?
you make my mouth go dry and my knees feel numb
i don't really care if i seem dumb
but i really really hope that you're the one
who can make my darkest days all seem so bright
as you hold me by your side under candlelight
while we're still young and the night's not done
i hope to be your sugar plum
dark brown bangs that you push aside
and a fashion sense that turns all eyes
and a voice so soft it can't surprise
unless someday you change my mind
when i ask you if i have a chance
if i could ask you to the dance
or if you think that stuff is lame
we'll just stay home, but either way
i ain't got no complaints
baby, will you be my sugar plum?
you make my mouth go dry and my knees feel numb
i don't really care if i seem dumb
but i really really hope that you're the one
who can make my darkest days all seem so bright
as you hold me by your side under candlelight
while we're still young and the night's not done
i hope to be your sugar plum, so
baby, will you be my sugar plum?
you make my mouth go dry and my knees feel numb
i don't really care if i seem dumb
but i really really hope that you're the one
who can make my darkest days all seem so bright
as you hold me by your side under candlelight
while we're still young and the night's not done
i hope to be your sugar plum
