Lyrics
POPCORN & CANDY (R Hemsworth)
YOU GO OUT WITH THE BOYS AND YOU COME BACK DRUNK
AND I AIN’T SUPPOSED TO CARE
YOU SAY YOU WERE AT THE OFFICE, WORKING LATE
BUT YOUR ALCOHOL BREATH FILLS THE AIR
IF YOU TELL A LIE YOU’D BETTER MAKE IT GOOD
‘CAUSE I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES
SO WHEN I GIVE YOU THAT LOOK OF DEATH
DON’T YOU LOOK SO SURPRISED
(Chorus)
BUT YOU THINK IT’LL ALL BE FINE AND DANDY
IF YOU BRING ME HOME, POPCORN & CANDY
LISTEN HERE, A GIRL CAN TAKE SO MUCH
AND SHE’LL WIPE AWAY HER TEARS
SHE’LL COOK YOU A MEAL AND WASH YOUR CLOTHES
BUT IT WON’T WASH AWAY HER FEARS
IF YOU WANT THAT GIRL TO BE THERE FOR LIFE
YOU’D BETTER TREAT HER GOOD
BECAUSE I’M TELLING YOU NOW, THERE ARE BETTER GUYS
RIGHT HERE IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
(Chorus)
BUT YOU THINK IT’LL ALL BE FINE AND DANDY
IF YOU BRING ME HOME, POPCORN & CANDY
SOLO
(Middle 8)
YOU CAN BUY ME GOLD, OR SATIN AND LACE
BUT ONLY REAL LOVE WILL KEEP A SMILE ON MY FACE
(Chorus)
BUT YOU THINK IT’LL ALL BE FINE AND DANDY
IF YOU BRING ME HOME, POPCORN & CANDY
