V5

[Intro] (Fast, pulsating synth bassline. Shimmering electronic arpeggios that build in volume. A high-energy disco-house beat kicks in with a rhythmic "clap" on every second beat.) [Stanza 1] [Female voice, energetic and confident] I walked into the gala in high heels with confidence, Scanning every muscled lad lack of common sense. I spotted him across the room, a rogue with devilish flair, He had a pocket full of magic, and a very hungry stare. I didn't wait for him to move, I stepped into his space, I saw some foil packaged treats and wanted just a taste. I reached right in and grabbed a piece, a special kinda treat, I popped it in my mouth and grinned for I was now complete. [Chorus] (The beat drops into a massive trance-like synth anthem. Uplifting and soaring energy.) [Male and Female voices duet together] Don't settle for the pantry or a sugar soda dandy, I’m looking for a man whose sweet, and always very handy. I know I’ll recognize him by the contents of his pocket, For if he’s bearing treats for me, I’ll blast off like a rocket! [Hook:] Strangers have the best candy! [Hook:] Yeah strangers always have the best candy! I know I’ll find a man in here who’ll make me want to sin A handsome lad with lots of gifts who’ll want to dive right in! [Hook:] Strangers have the best candy! [Hook:] Yeah strangers always have the best candy! [Stanza 2] [Male Voice, smooth and rhythmic] I met a girl in sequins with a grin that reached her eyes, She had a box of pralines that was just the perfect size. She offered me a sample of her cherry-centered dream, It was richer than hot butter and it’s smoother than whipped cream. We shared a little laughter while we polished off the box, She’s my sugar coated fantasy, a treat I must detox. She leaned in close to whisper, "I’ll show you my hidden stash," And I knew right there and then that we were going to crash! [Chorus] [Male and Female voices duet together] Don't settle for the pantry or a sugar soda dandy, I’m looking for a man whose sweet, and always very handy. I know I’ll recognize him by the contents of his pocket, For if he’s bearing treats for me, I’ll blast off like a rocket! [Hook:] Strangers have the best candy! [Hook:] Yeah strangers always have the best candy! I know I’ll find a man in here who’ll make me want to sin A handsome lad with lots of gifts who’ll want to dive right in! [Hook:] Strangers have the best candy! [Hook:] Yeah strangers always have the best candy! [Bridge] (The drums drop out for a lush, ethereal synth pad. A "build-up" starts with a rapid snare roll.) [Female Voice, soaring and ethereal] Now, my friend likes sugar taffy that she gets down at the shore, My buddy likes the peppermint he buys at the drugstore. But I want the exotic, the forbidden, and the rare, A kind of sugar-coating that you eat upon a dare. So if your pocket’s full of something decadent and fine, Don't be surprised if I decide to make your treasure mine. [Chorus] (Maximum energy. Heavy trance synths and disco strings.) [Male and Female voices duet together] Don't settle for the pantry or a sugar soda dandy, I’m looking for a man whose sweet, and always very handy. I know I’ll recognize him by the contents of his pocket, For if he’s bearing treats for me, I’ll blast off like a rocket! [Hook:] Strangers have the best candy! [Hook:] Yeah strangers always have the best candy! I know I’ll find a man in here who’ll make me want to sin A handsome lad with lots of gifts who’ll want to dive right in! [Hook:] Strangers have the best candy! [Hook:] Yeah strangers always have the best candy! [Outro] (The beat continues but the synths start to echo out.) [Female Voice:] That’s right! I’ll take the gold, I’ll take the red, I’ll take the blue! You got a candy hidden in there, sugar? Please share, because life’s too short for plain vanilla... Give me the mystery box every single time! (Final swirling synth rise and a sudden bass drop to end)
