[Intro – Sultry, smooth vocals over a groovy bassline and soft keys] "They told me sweet things, sugar on my tongue... But sugar turns to poison, when the game is young." [Beat kicks in – Funky bass, syncopated drums, smooth brass accents] --- [Verse 1 – Eva, smooth but commanding tone] "They said I’d own the world, they said I’d wear a crown, But behind the shiny promises, they just wanna tear you down. They dress it up in diamonds, lace, and satin sheets, But candy-coated lies don’t make the pain sweet." "I see the wolves in velvet suits, the smiles that don’t reach, They’ll feed you dreams on silver spoons, but never let you eat. I learned to play the game, girl, I keep my soul intact, Now when they spit their lies at me, I just spit ‘em back." --- [Chorus – Layered harmonies, bright brass stabs, uplifting yet soulful tone] "Candy-coated lies, sugar turns to ash, They sell you sweet illusions, but the sweetness doesn’t last. Candy-coated lies, girl, don’t let ‘em stick, Keep your heart locked tight, don’t let ‘em play the trick." --- [Verse 2 – Eva, sassier delivery, funkier rhythm in the instrumentation] "They think they’re clever, girl, they think they’ve got control, But I’ve been keeping notes since I first walked this stroll. Every whisper in my ear is just a trap in disguise, But I see through the syrup—they’re all candy-coated lies." "I keep my heels sharp, girl, I keep my mind clean, I know the rules they’re playing with, I’ve seen behind the scenes. They can’t take my power, they can’t dim my light, Let ‘em throw their sugar; I’ll take my bite." --- [Chorus – Repeats, with more brass layers and vocal ad-libs] "Candy-coated lies, sugar turns to ash, They sell you sweet illusions, but the sweetness doesn’t last. Candy-coated lies, girl, don’t let ‘em stick, Keep your heart locked tight, don’t let ‘em play the trick." --- [Bridge – Soft and soulful, stripped-back instruments with light piano and bass] "Don’t let the shine fool you, girl, it’s just a mask, Every deal they offer comes with strings attached. They’ll promise you the stars, they’ll promise you the skies, But all you’ll get is candy-coated lies." [Beat builds back up, returning to the full funk groove] --- [Final Chorus – Full intensity, powerful ad-libs and harmonies] "Candy-coated lies, sugar turns to ash, They sell you sweet illusions, but the sweetness doesn’t last. Candy-coated lies, girl, don’t let ‘em stick, Keep your heart locked tight, don’t let ‘em play the trick." --- [Outro – Eva’s sultry whisper, fading instrumentation] *"Sugar melts, girl, but the truth stays strong... Candy’s just for show—don’t let it lead you wrong
