Poetry: Sweet Sugar Candy Baby

My man, he’s got a sweet tooth,
Crooked smile and a swelling sense of apathy for me.
He’s only looking for your sympathy,
All this sugar got him cravin’ beef... and he’s got his eyes on me.

Sweet candy sugar baby, been rotting my teeth.
Made it so hard to smile,
Oh stay a little while, you’ll see.

My man, he’s got a mean streak,
Crooked smile and a swelling sense of apathy for me.
He’s only looking for your sympathy,
Sugar hit got him crazy and those eyes are on me.

Sweet candy sugar baby, won’t someone save me?
Bubble gun, no fun.
Oh stay a little while, you’ll see!
Sweet candy sugar baby, your ignorance is your end.
Bubble pop, body drop.
Oh stay a little while, you’ll see!
Bubble gum lies and licorice ties won’t stop me!

Hard candy, ain’t me...
Yeah, I’ve never been the patient type.
